This node will detect models located in the `ComfyUI/models/checkpoints` folder, and it will also read models from additional paths configured in the extra_model_paths.yaml file. Sometimes, you may need to **refresh the ComfyUI interface** to allow it to read the model files from the corresponding folder.

This node specializes in loading checkpoints specifically for image-based models within video generation workflows. It efficiently retrieves and configures the necessary components from a given checkpoint, focusing on image-related aspects of the model.

## Inputs

| Field | Description | Data Type |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `ckpt_name` | Specifies the name of the checkpoint to load, crucial for identifying and retrieving the correct checkpoint file from a predefined list. | COMBO[STRING] |

## Outputs

| Field | Description | Data Type |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `model` | Returns the main model loaded from the checkpoint, configured for image processing within video generation contexts. | MODEL |
| `clip_vision` | Provides the CLIP vision component from the checkpoint, tailored for image understanding and feature extraction. | `CLIP_VISION` |
| `vae` | Delivers the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) component, essential for image manipulation and generation tasks. | VAE |
