--- ## 🌟 What is StarNodes? StarNodes is a **swiss-army-knife node pack** for [ComfyUI](https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI). It fills the gaps you hit every day: starting a workflow with one node instead of five, saving real layered **PSD files**, browsing **360° panoramas**, batching images into **grids with captions**, managing **wildcards**, **LoRAs**, **sampler presets** — plus a full set of **Qwen / Flux / LTX-Video** helpers. > 💡 **In one sentence:** fewer wires, fewer clicks, better defaults — everything lives under one **⭐StarNodes** menu. --- ## ✨ Recently Added & Updated — Spotlight These are the newest and most powerful nodes in the pack. If you try nothing else, try these:

### 🆕 ⭐ Star LTXV 2.5 All-in-One **The complete LTX-2.5 pipeline in a single node.** Text-to-video, image-to-video, image+audio, first/last-frame and audio-only modes — two-pass upscale rendering, baked sigma or plain-step schedules, model/LoRA/CLIP/VAE caching, and sound decoded from the high-step pass. ### 🆕 ⭐ Star Video Sound Enricher **Fix the scratchy AI-video soundtrack.** De-harsh bell, deep-bass and warmth boost, high-fizz taming and gentle analog saturation — four tuned presets plus a full Custom mode, always delivered at 44.1 kHz. ### 🆕 ⭐ Star Video Sound Enricher Option **Same sound magic, zero extra wires.** Outputs the enricher settings as a `sound_settings` bundle — plug it into the LTXV 2.5 All-in-One and the soundtrack comes out cleaned and enriched internally. ### 🆕 ⭐ Star SD Upscale Refiner Advanced **SD1.5 upscaling + refinement in one node.** Built-in LoRA support, tiled diffusion for low VRAM, and optional ControlNet tile guidance — a complete "make it big and beautiful" pipeline. ### 🆕 ⭐ Star Minimax All In One **The whole MiniMax H3 reference-to-video pipeline in a single node.** Models, text encoder and both VAEs load internally; feed reference images, videos and audios, then sample and decode video + audio — no sub-graph. Includes the new **2:1 (Panorama)** preset. ### 🆕 ⭐ StarSampler (Unified) **One sampler to rule them all.** Extensive configuration in a single node, with a tiled VAE decoder so even big images finish on modest GPUs. Replaces stacks of sampler plumbing. ### 🆕 ⭐ Star Split Sampler Option **Two samplers, one run.** Plug into the `options` input of ⭐ StarSampler or ⭐ Star SD Upscale Refiner to run the first N steps with one sampler and the rest with another — e.g. `euler` for 6 steps then `ddim` for 6, for 12 steps total. Mix sampler strengths without rewiring anything.

### 🆕 ⭐ Star Advanced Ratio/Latent **Aspect ratio + megapixels, done for you.** Pick a ratio and a target size — get perfect dimensions and a ready-to-use empty latent, no calculator needed. ### 🔄 ⭐ Star Output Cleaner **Your output folder, finally under control.** Browse thumbnails, select and delete old generations without ever leaving ComfyUI. ### 🔄 ⭐ Star Image Compare **Judge your results like a pro.** Interactive before/after wipe slider right inside ComfyUI — drag to compare two images pixel by pixel. Perfect for checking upscales, refiners and filter tweaks. ### 🔄 ⭐ Star Panorama Tools **Create, save and explore 360° worlds.** The 360 Parallax Viewer (and Pro) let you look around panoramas interactively with mouse parallax, overlays and depth maps — while Save Panorama JPEG/+ embeds proper XMP metadata, including stereoscopic 3D output. ### 🔄 ⭐ Star Video Compressor **Shrink videos to any target.** Compress to a quality level *or an exact file size* with H.264, H.265, VP9 or AV1 — no external tools needed. ### 🔄 ⭐ Star Slideshow Maker **Images in, movie out.** Transitions, motion effects and audio, rendered through FFmpeg straight from your workflow. ### 🔄 ⭐ Star Tiled Upscalers (SeedVR & PiD) **Huge upscales on small GPUs.** Tile-based upscaling with SeedVR2 (with color correction) or PiD/PixelDiT models — overlapping tiles mean no seams, no VRAM panic.

--- ## 🃏 Wildcards On first start, StarNodes copies a ready-made wildcard collection to `[ComfyUI]/wildcards/`. Add your own `.txt` files there — one option per line. ```text a photo of __animal__ in __place__, {golden hour|blue hour|midnight}, __style__ ``` - `__name__` → random line from `wildcards/name.txt` - `subfolder\__name__` → use subfolders - `{a|b|c}` → quick random choice - Nesting works up to 10 levels deep 🪆 --- ## 🎨 Theme System StarNodes ships its own **color themes**. Pick a theme in the ComfyUI settings, then apply theme presets to any node via the **right-click menu** (multi-select supported). Perfect for keeping big workflows readable. --- ## 📚 Example Workflows Ready-to-use workflows live in **`example_workflows/`** — drag any `.json` onto your canvas. Highlights include: - 🖼️ **Image upscaling & refinement** (SD upscale, SeedVR/PiD tiled upscalers) - 🎬 **LTX-Video** pipelines (2-pass all-in-one, loops, slideshows) - 🌌 **360° panorama** generation & interactive viewing - 🧩 **Qwen image editing** (regional prompting, multi-image edit) --- ## 📦 Dependencies Everything is listed in `requirements.txt` and installs automatically. **Good to know:** if a package is missing, the rest of the pack still loads — only the affected node is skipped, and ComfyUI tells you exactly what to install. | Package | Needed for | |---------|------------| | `psd-tools` | PSD Saver nodes | | `opencv-python` | Detail Enhancement, Panorama JPG+, Slideshow | | `scikit-learn`, `webcolors` | Palette Extractor | | `color-matcher` | Simple Filters (color matching) | | `imageio-ffmpeg` | Video Loader / Compressor / Slideshow | | `requests`, `beautifulsoup4` | News Scraper | | `ollama` | Ollama Prompt Helper | --- ## 🆘 Troubleshooting | Problem | Fix | |---|---| | A node is missing | Check the ComfyUI console — it prints which package to `pip install` | | Nodes don't appear at all | Make sure you restarted ComfyUI after installing | | Wildcards don't resolve | Confirm the files exist in `[ComfyUI]/wildcards/` | | Ollama node can't connect | Start the Ollama app/server first (`ollama serve`) | 📖 Detailed per-node docs are built right into ComfyUI: select a node and open its **help panel** — StarNodes ships a doc page for every node (`web/docs/`). ---
