WanAnimatePlus SamplerFromSettings

Some nodes add capability. This one adds tidiness. SamplerFromSettings takes a single sampler_inputs (a SAMPLER_ARGS object, produced by WanAnimatePlus SamplerSettings or its Easy sibling) and runs the sampling. That's it - one input, two outputs, no knobs of its own. The author's own description is the review: it's a "utility node with no other functionality than to look cleaner, useful for the live preview as the main sampler node has become a messy monster."

If you've ever tried to tune a generation while the sampler's 40-input panel fights the preview for space, you get it. The split-graph pattern is: SamplerSettings (or Easy SamplerSettings) holds every setting you tune, emits SAMPLER_ARGS, and SamplerFromSettings sits on its own where its progress display is actually visible. When you adjust steps or cfg on the settings node, the change flows through the wire and takes effect on the next run. Same engine, same outputs, cleaner layout.

The two outputs. samples - the sampled latents, wired into WanAnimatePlus Decode. denoised_samples - the denoised latents before VAE decoding, handy for preview nodes that want the model's raw output.

Where people trip. The most common failure is a dangling wire: sampler_inputs isn't connected, or points at the wrong settings node, and the sampler runs with defaults you never see. Because there are no controls on this node, "why did my settings change nothing" is almost always a wiring problem, not a settings problem. Second, it's tempting to feed sampler_inputs from the full SamplerSettings while also tuning the same run with the full Sampler node - don't. You pick one sampling path per generation; running both double-samples and wastes minutes. This node pairs with SamplerSettings/Easy SamplerSettings, and the full Sampler is the alternative, not a companion.

Install via ComfyUI Manager (search "WanAnimatePlus") or git clone https://github.com/wuwukaka/ComfyUI-WanAnimatePlus into custom_nodes, restart. The fork-wide rule stands - keep the whole chain on WanAnimatePlus nodes so the SAMPLER_ARGS layout it expects matches what your settings node produced. If the preview matters more to you than a tidy graph, use Easy Sampler directly; this node is for people who like their settings and their preview to each have their own corner.
