Upload Video
Upload or provide a URL to a video file.
Overview
The Upload Video node provides a source video to the workflow. Enter a direct URL or upload a video file to make it available for downstream processing, effects, or transformation nodes.
Configuration
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| URL | Text input | — | Direct URL to a video file |
Accepts: MP4, MOV, WebM formats.
Adjust Video
Choosing a file opens an Adjust Video step before the upload is committed: crop with an aspect-ratio preset, trim to a range using the filmstrip scrubber, and optionally convert to MP4 or WebM (under Advanced). Formats the browser cannot play are converted automatically first.
Inputs & Outputs
Inputs: None (this is a source node)
Outputs:
- Video URL — accessible to downstream nodes
Best Practices
- Use standard formats (MP4 with H.264) for maximum compatibility
- Keep source videos under 100MB for reliable processing
Common Use Cases
- Source video for Video to Video transformation
- Input for video processing (trim, resize, combine, captions)
- Reference motion video for Motion Transfer
- Source for After Effects or composition nodes
Tips
- For YouTube or social media videos, use the Video URL node instead — it handles platform-specific downloads
- Connect to Trim Video first if you only need a specific section
