# ComfyUI VAE Timestamp Clock SG Shows Total Time Taken Only for the VAE Decode. Also shows the Timestamps for VAE start/stop. Can be used with my Automatic Clock intiliazation node: [ComfyUI-Show-Clock-in-CMD-Console-SG](https://github.com/ShammiG/ComfyUI-Show-Clock-in-CMD-Console-SG) Since VAE decode in video workflows takes so much time, whereas VAE decode of Image-only workflows takes only a few seconds, so it doesn't make sense to add it globally like the [ComfyUI-Show-Clock-in-CMD-Console-SG](https://github.com/ShammiG/ComfyUI-Show-Clock-in-CMD-Console-SG) node for every workflow. So this node kind had to be its own thing, add to any workflow you want without cluttering the Console too much.

So this has **two nodes**, First **[VAE Clock Start(Latent)-SG]** passes through latent data (every type, including tiled), the other **[VAE Clock Stop(Image)-SG]** passes through image data and calculates total time taken for VAE decode.

# Installation: **1.** Clone this repository into your **ComfyUI/custom_nodes** directory: git clone https://github.com/ShammiG/ComfyUI-VAE-Timestamp-Clock-SG.git **2.** **Restart ComfyUI and Refresh browser if already open** **Add the two nodes** like shown in above images **in your workflow** and you will have console output next time you run workflow.

# Do check out this node that shows Clock timestamps in CMD console [ComfyUI-Show-Clock-in-CMD-Console-SG](https://github.com/ShammiG/ComfyUI-Show-Clock-in-CMD-Console-SG)
