Continuity

One node for AI video and stills in ComfyUI. Write a prompt, attach media with @, press Render. Six model families, all through ComfyUI core, all local open weights. The one thing that can talk to the outside is the prompt refiner, and only if you point it at your own server or provider - LM Studio, Ollama, or a hosted API with your key.

What it does

One node, one prompt

Drop the node, type, press Render. Files you attach get an @ name and you cite them in the sentence, so the prompt says which picture is the person and which is the room. The pills under the box are the whole setup: duration, aspect, resolution, the model, and a sampler row for when you want it. The node walks every control.

References and the cast

A reference contributes what you say it contributes - the person, the place, the look - and the same face can be saved once and brought back into any piece by name. Two references cited in one prompt:

The pre-stage

Video models eat stills: start frames, end frames, references. The pre-stage is a second card on the same canvas that makes them, with any of the stills families or H3 itself, and hands the result straight into the shot. One Queue runs both; an untouched pre-stage doesn't re-render.

Timelines

Under the prompt: Write the next shot. Every shot on the strip is a whole generation with its own prompt, references, LoRAs and even its own family - a pre-stage on Krea 2 feeding start frames into shots on LTX 2.5 is one strip. Seams carry picture and sound across the cut, or don't, independently. Timelines.

Chat

The other way in. A room where you say what you want - a fox in a snowy wood at dusk, then now a clip of it, she looks up, then bluer - and the refiner model writes the prompt and renders. Every picture and clip gets a handle you can cite in the next line, so a still becomes a shot's first frame by naming it. It is the same node underneath, on the same queue, and everything lands in the same output folder. Chat.

Tools

The wordmark opens a dashboard of tools that work over the piece: presets, a ControlNet bench, a blockout bench for staging a scene out of boxes and walking a camera through it, and an upscale bench. Tools.

The style atlas is 941 looks captioned from real clips, applied as a prefix to the prompt:

Where it is headed

The name is the goal. A single shot from an open video model is a solved problem; a piece made of many shots that still looks like one piece is not. Every continued shot comes out a little brighter and a little harder than the one it continues, and after a handful of seams the strip has drifted somewhere you never asked for. Most of the work now goes there: measuring the drift on real strips rather than guessing, and pushing the number of shots a piece can hold before it shows.

The other direction is getting the graph out of the way. The chat room and the blockout bench are both ways of saying what you want without touching a pill, and the pre-stage plus the timeline are what let one prompt become a scene. There is no cloud in any of that, and there won't be: everything renders on your hardware from weights you downloaded.

Install

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/roadmaus/ComfyUI-Continuity

That leaves one folder, ComfyUI-Continuity, inside custom_nodes/. Restart ComfyUI. Nothing to pip install.
