Inputs (12)
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| video | VIDEO | The video to save. | |
| filename_prefix | STRING | Vids/%date:yy-MM-dd%/vid_%date:HH-mm-ss% | The prefix for the file to save. Supports: %date:format% patterns (e.g. %date:yy-MM-dd%). %time% = workflow generation time. |
| codec | COMBO | h264 | Video codec. h264 = 8-bit, better compatibility. h265/HEVC = 10-bit, better compression & gradients. |
| chroma | COMBO | yuv420 | Chroma subsampling. yuv420 = most compatible. yuv422 = better color for video editing. yuv444 = best color, no chroma loss. |
| crf | INT | 180–51 | Constant Rate Factor (quality). Lower = better quality, larger file. 0 = lossless 18-23 = high quality 28+ = lower quality. Recommended: 18-28. |
| save | BOOLEAN | true | Save to output folder. Off = preview only (saves to temp with fast encoding). |
| save_latent | BOOLEAN | true | Save latent alongside the video. Off = don't save the connected latent. |
| browser_compat | BOOLEAN | true | When ON, non-browser-compatible clips get an auto-generated H.264 preview for UI playback. When OFF, UI uses the original file and may not preview in browser. |
| auto_play | BOOLEAN | true | UI preview behavior: when ON, the Save Video+ preview starts playback automatically when a new video is displayed. |
| latentopt | LATENT | Optional latent to save alongside the video (same filename with .latent extension). | |
| metadataopt | STRING | Optional metadata JSON string to embed in the video (e.g. from VACE Stitcher). | |
| exec_startopt | STRING | Unix timestamp stamped by the UI when Execute is pressed. Enables %time% in filename_prefix (workflow generation seconds, excluding save/encode). |
