What ComfyUI-VideoHelperSuite (VHS) does in a ComfyUI graph
Loads video frames into batches and encodes output image sequences into H.264/H.265 MP4s with audio passthrough.
On the canvas, this node accepts `images, frame_rate, loop_count, format, crf` and emits `VHS_FILENAMES (MP4, WebM, ProRes, GIF)`. Every pin is color-coded by data type so you cannot accidentally wire a pixel `IMAGE` tensor into a `LATENT` pin without an intermediate encode step.
