The creative world is evolving at breakneck speed, and generative AI is at the heart of this transformation. Whether you’re a digital artist, game designer, advertising creative, or VFX specialist, the ability to manipulate and enhance video content with precision and ease is now essential.
Griptape Nodes has always been about empowering creative professionals to build, iterate, and scale AI-driven workflows, without the headaches of traditional tooling. We've seen a significant number of our existing customers already leveraging Griptape Nodes for their video-centric workflows, which has directly inspired and driven the development of these new features. Today, we’re excited to unveil a suite of cutting-edge video processing features that will supercharge your creative pipelines and open up entirely new possibilities.
Meet the New Video Processing Nodes
Griptape Nodes now offers a robust set of video manipulation nodes, each designed to solve real-world creative challenges and unlock new artistic directions. Here’s how these new capabilities can transform your workflow:
Flip Video: Mirror, Correct, and Stylize Instantly
Ever needed to correct a video shot upside down, or create a striking mirror effect? The Flip Video node lets you flip footage horizontally, vertically, or both, all while preserving audio and quality. Perfect for fixing orientation issues, matching clips, or crafting symmetrical visuals for your next campaign or game cutscene.
Reverse Video: Play It Backwards for Surreal Effects
Bring a touch of the unexpected to your projects with the Reverse Video node. Instantly reverse video playback, and audio if you choose, for dreamlike sequences, special effects, or creative storytelling. Whether you want to analyze motion, create a rewind effect, or simply surprise your audience, this node puts time in your hands.
Split Video: Segment with AI-Powered Precision
Long videos can be unwieldy, but the Split Video node makes it effortless to break content into perfectly timed segments. Use intuitive timecodes or even JSON for advanced control. Extract highlights, create social-ready clips, or prepare content for different audiences, all while maintaining pristine quality.
Extract Last Frame: Capture the Perfect Ending
Sometimes, the final frame of a video is the most powerful. With Extract Last Frame, you can instantly grab the last image from any video, ready for use as a thumbnail, storyboard reference, or to seamlessly chain video clips together in your workflow.
Extract Audio: Isolate Soundtracks with a Click
Need to work with just the audio from your video? The Extract Audio node lets you pull high-quality audio tracks in your preferred format including MP3, WAV, AAC, and more. Ideal for podcasting, transcription, remixing, or sound design, this node gives you total control over your media assets.
Hold Video Frames: Create Stop-Motion and Dramatic Effects
Inject a retro or artistic vibe with the Hold Video Frames node. By holding each frame for a set duration, you can create stop-motion animations, slow down fast action for analysis, or add a stylized, stepped look to your footage. Perfect for experimental visuals or attention-grabbing social content.
Adjust Video EQ: Fine-Tune Every Visual Detail
Lighting and color can make or break a video. The Adjust Video EQ node gives you granular control over brightness, contrast, saturation, and gamma. Whether you’re correcting exposure, matching clips, or pushing your footage into bold new territory, this node ensures your visuals always look their best.
Concatenate Videos: Seamlessly Stitch Clips Together
Building longer narratives or highlight reels? The Concatenate Videos node combines multiple clips into a single, continuous video, automatically resizing and syncing everything for a flawless result. No more manual editing or worrying about mismatched resolutions; just drag, drop, create.
