Don’t panic, there is a 50/50 chance that your files are somewhere hidden in the output folder.
- Refresh the output folder (There is a purple refresh button at the bottom of the file browser)
- Check the following nodes in the workflow, Save Image/Video Combine, there is a chance your output folder and file names are set to a specific value.
- Please NOTE, there are only four folders that will be persisted across machine sessions,
- /home/user/ComfyUI/custom_nodes
- /home/user/ComfyUI/models
- /home/user/ComfyUI/input
- /home/user/ComfyUI/output
- So please do make sure your output path is actually in /home/user/ComfyUI/output folder
- We have seen numerous times that customer put a path, such as /home/user/ComfyUI/videos, /home/user/ComfUI/shots, /home/user/ComfyUI/results, etc., that are not going to be persisted across sessions and you won’t be able to find them in the file browser.
- Remove VHS video combine node and re-run the workflow, leave the Save Image node there so you could come back and get all the image frames at least.
- We are seeing VHS video combine node crash silently a lot when dealing with scale of hundreds frames (300ish and above, depends on the resolution).
- Why can’t I have both Save Image node and Video combine node at the same level so it will save the image (as a failsafe) first then try to combine the video?
- Because you don’t know which one is going to be executed first from the first appearance, thus there is a very high possibility that VHS is going to run first (and crashed), then Save Image (will not run due to ComfyUI crashed already).
- If you want to know which one is going to be executed first, go to ComfyUI-Manager, turn on the Badge: #ID Nickename, and you will see a small number on top of each node in your workflow, the execution order will be ascending based on that number (if the nodes are in the same level).
