JSON Example

{
  "class_type": "VHS_SelectLatest",
  "inputs": {
    "filename_prefix": "output/AnimateDiff",
    "filename_postfix": ""
  }
}

This example shows required inputs only. Connection values like ["node_id", 0] should reference actual node IDs from your workflow.

Inputs

Name	Type	Status	Constraints	Default
filename_prefix	STRING	required	-	"output/AnimateDiff"
filename_postfix	STRING	required	-	-

Outputs

Index	Name	Type	Is List	Connection Reference
0	Filename	STRING	No	["{node_id}", 0]

How to connect to these outputs

To connect another node's input to an output from this node, use the connection reference format:

["node_id", output_index]

Where node_id is the ID of this VHS_SelectLatest node in your workflow, and output_index is the index from the table above.

Example

If this node has ID "5" in your workflow:

• Filename (STRING): ["5", 0]
