# ← ComfyTV Video

> **Out-bridge**: **COMFYTV_VIDEO** URL → native **VIDEO** object. **No ▶ Run** — loads mp4 on Queue.

## What this node does

ComfyTV edit chain outputs **`COMFYTV_VIDEO`** (`/view?` → mp4 on disk). Native nodes — VHS, Wan Video, Save Video — need ComfyUI **`VIDEO`**. **← ComfyTV Video** wraps the file with `VideoFromFile`.

Opposite of **→ ComfyTV Video** (mesh2motion into ComfyTV).

```
[Video Clip] ──COMFYTV_VIDEO──→ [← ComfyTV Video] ──VIDEO──→ [Save Video / native VHS…]
```

## When to use it

* ComfyTV clip/demux → native video tools
* ComfyTV gen + clip → external plugin
* Final **Save Video** export

## How it works

* Not a Stage, no Run.
* URL → annotated path → `VideoFromFile`.

## Types

| ComfyTV         | Native  |
