    Well it didn't OOM. Input was smallest I could find and a rare non-16:9 at 1280 x 832. But I just saw New Resolution was set to 720!??? Yikes. Ok, so I can increase that.

    But why are you doing a regular Upscale Image node afterwards? I thought this was for SeedVR2 upscaling?

    Also, Upscale Image +Video Combine = black videos with no thumbnail for me. I pull my hair out over this because I'd love to use the node with the size vars so I can use 4x-UltraSharp, etc. rather than 2x ESRGAN. But the regular Upscale node (with Upscaler node providing the model) works fine for me. Makes perfectly playable vids.

    Same problem

    If you look closely at the workflow you loaded, try zooming out a bit in ComfyUI, you鈥檒l notice that there are multiple workflows stacked on top of each other in the same file.

    Right now, you鈥檙e viewing the image sequence uploader workflow (used when you have a folder of numbered frames).
    For a regular MP4 video, you need to use the Video Uploader node instead.

    That workflow is located at the top of the JSON file.

    Make sure there is an output enabled (e.g. Save image/video or video combine...)

    This workflow is outdated with the newer version of Seedvr2 which doesn't use blockswap node.

    Damn! Glad I landed here. Can confirm. Any idea if there's an alternative to SeedVR2BlockSwap?

    The workflow is now shipping by default in the updated custom node folder / check your template manager in ComfyUI. I updated the tutorial/workflow on CivitAI to reflect this. Thank you
