Load Video (From Folder) MXD

There are two ways to load a video in ComfyUI: the way that makes you pick a file, and the way that lets you pick a file and optionally process every video in that folder on a single queue. Load Video (From Folder) MXD is the second one. It's the video twin of the pack's image-from-folder loader, it reads from both inputs and outputs, and the run_folder toggle is where it earns its keep for anyone doing batch video work.

How it works

Pick source (outputs or inputs) and a video from the merged listing, and the node loads it through ComfyUI's video API, handing back a VIDEO object plus the filename. It's a proper native video load, not a frame-by-frame image trick, so it plugs straight into WAN 2.2, LTX or any of the modern video pipelines - no frame count juggling on your end. Flip run_folder on and hitting Queue Prompt auto-queues every video in that file's folder, one after another, instead of just the selected file. That's the whole point: set it once, point it at a folder of renders, and let the queue chew through them.

Inputs that matter

• source - outputs or inputs, default outputs. Use inputs for footage you dropped in as source material.
• video - the file dropdown.
• run_folder - the batch switch described above.

Outputs are VIDEO and filename.

Wiring it in

VIDEO feeds your video-pipeline nodes - conditioning prep, sampling, whatever your workflow does. filename is handy if you want to save results back under the same base name, or log which clip you're processing. Since it loads through the native video API, it composes with the rest of the pack's WAN 2.2 helper nodes (and the separate video comparer / preview nodes if you've installed them).

Installing

ComfyUI Manager → search "Maxed Out" → install, restart. Manual:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Maxed-Out-99/ComfyUI-MaxedOut.git

No pip dependencies, no model downloads.

Common issues

The one real requirement: this needs a reasonably recent ComfyUI, because native VIDEO output relies on the newer ComfyUI API (comfy_api.latest). On an old install the node raises a clear "please update ComfyUI" error instead of silently misbehaving, so just update. And as with the image version, run_folder includes subfolders, so aim it at a folder you actually want processed - it will happily walk into nested directories.
