ComfyUI reference loader nodes add crop, trim, megapixel limits for image, video, audio
grimstormz · reddit · 2026-09-03
- A Redditor released Comfyui-reference-loader, an open-source set of ComfyUI nodes filling gaps in existing asset loaders.
- Image/video loaders include click-and-drag cropping, optional aspect-ratio locking, and a divisibleby toggle for VAE pixel alignment.
- Built-in maxmegapixels downscaling removes the need for a separate resize node (ideal for models like MiniMax-H3 that prefer references at or below 2048px).
- The audio loader trims the exact section of a song or long TTS track and outputs its duration as a float, piped directly into a video generator's frame/length input.
- Dedicated output value sockets simplify downstream chaining.
