# → ComfyTV Video

> **Into-bridge**: ComfyUI **VIDEO** object (e.g. **mesh2motion**) → **COMFYTV_VIDEO** URL. **▶ Run** writes `output/ComfyTV/bridge/*.mp4`.

## What this node does

**mesh2motion**, AnimateDiff export, **Create Video**, etc. output **`VIDEO`** — ComfyTV **Video Clip**, **Demux**, **Video Stage** expect **`COMFYTV_VIDEO`** URL strings. **→ ComfyTV Video** saves the object to mp4 on Run (auto codec) and registers a snapshot.

```
[mesh2motion] ──VIDEO──→ [→ ComfyTV Video] ──COMFYTV_VIDEO──→ [Video Clip / Demux / …]
                              ▲ Run
```

IMAGE frame sequence without VIDEO: **Create Video (fps)** first, then this bridge.

## When to use it

* 3D / motion plugin clips into ComfyTV edit chain
* AnimateDiff into ComfyTV **↪ Extend**
* Native VIDEO into ComfyTV IA2V pipeline

## How it works

* **Stage** + **▶ Run**; `_save_video_to_disk`, prefix `ComfyTV/bridge`.
* Container/codec auto.
* Snapshot persists; downstream does not re-encode until you re-run bridge.

## Types

| Native `VIDEO`       | ComfyTV `COMFYTV_VIDEO`     |
| -------------------- | --------------------------- |
| ComfyUI video object | Persistent mp4 `/view?` URL |

## Parameters

### video

Upstream **VIDEO**. Unwired → error on Run.

## Outputs

| Output    | Type            | Downstream                       |
| --------- | --------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **video** | `COMFYTV_VIDEO` | Clip, Crop, Demux, Extract Frame |

## Step by step

1. Run mesh2motion (or Create Video) to VIDEO.
2. Add **→ ComfyTV Video**, wire.
3. **▶ Run** bridge.
4. Wire **Video Clip** or toolbar **Demux**.

## FAQ

**Q: Queue vs Run?**\
A: **Run** = ComfyTV stage / into-bridge snapshot (required for this node); **Queue** = execute full ComfyUI graph. Into-bridges cannot substitute Run with Queue.

**Q: mesh2motion outputs IMAGE?**\
A: **Create Video (fps)** → **→ ComfyTV Video**.

**Q: Skip Run?**\
A: No snapshot without Run.

**Q: mp4 path?**\
A: `output/ComfyTV/bridge/ComfyTV_bridge_xxxxx_.mp4`.
