Pick One Video Out of a Video List — By Index

Given a list of videos (typically from Video Trim or any other clip-producing node), grab the single video you want by its 0-based index. Slide to the position, extract, done. Perfect for picking a specific clip from a Video Trim batch, isolating one video for individual processing (like Narration Mux which needs a single clip), or bridging batch pipelines to single-clip tools.

What it does

Video List Extract takes a video list as input and returns a single video at the position you specify. Indexing is 0-based — so 0 is the first video, 1 is the second, and so on. Use the slider (or type the value) to pick which one. The rest of the list is discarded; only the selected video passes through to downstream nodes.

Problem it solves

• Pick one video from a batch – Grab the specific clip you want from a Video Trim / Remove Dead Zone / Video Reframe list without processing the whole batch
• Bridge list → single-video tools – Downstream nodes that expect a single video (like Narration Mux, viewers, exporters) can't consume a list — Video List Extract adapts the shape
• Isolate a specific highlight – Extract a particular highlight from Video Analysis-driven cuts for one-off editing
• Iterate deterministically – Same index = same video every run, so results are reproducible
• Combine with parallel extraction – Use multiple Video List Extract nodes at different indices to fan out a single batch into individual per-clip processing branches
• Preview / QA a single clip – Pull one clip out of a big list to inspect before committing downstream steps

Input/Output

<aside>

• Input: Video list
  • Format: A collection of video clips produced by any list-emitting upstream node (Video Trim, Remove Dead Zone, Video Reframe, Video Subtitle, Video Caption, Video Narrate, etc.)
  • Size: Any number of videos (list length must be ≥ 1) </aside>

<aside>

• Output: Single video
  • Format: Same format as the original list items (standard video format)
  • Content: Exactly the video at the requested 0-based index
  • Metadata: Any carried metadata (Title, Hook, etc.) travels with the extracted video, unchanged </aside>

Configuration Options

• 0-based index of the video to extract: Which item to pull out of the list.
  • Range: 0 – 299 (supports lists of up to 300 videos)
  • 0 – First video in the list
  • N – The (N+1)th video
  • Behavior: Requesting an index past the end of the list will either return an error or nothing, depending on upstream behavior — safest to stay within the list's range

How to Use

<aside>

1. Connect a video-list source → Wire an upstream node that produces a list of videos (Video Trim, or any downstream Video Editing tool) into Video List Extract
2. Set the index → Drag the slider (or type a value) to select which video you want. 0 = first video.
3. Run Flow → The selected video is emitted; downstream nodes receive that single video </aside>
