This workflow performs multi-person human pose detection on video using the SDPose-OOD whole-body model. It ingests a video with LoadVideo, extracts frame size and FPS via GetVideoComponents, and feeds each frame into an SDPose subgraph (node ID 01b6a731-fb78-4070-9a38-c87146da9604). Inside the subgraph, an object detector proposes person bounding boxes per frame and the SDPose whole-body checkpoint (sdpose_wholebody_fp16.safetensors) estimates keypoints for body, hands, and face. The PrimitiveInt node controls max_detections, letting you cap how many people are processed per frame in crowded scenes.
The workflow outputs two visualizations: bounding boxes via DrawBBoxes and a pose map overlay blended onto the original frames with ImageBlend. ResizeImageMaskNode ensures the pose map matches the source frame dimensions, and PreviewImage offers a quick sanity check before exporting. Finally, CreateVideo reassembles the annotated frames at the original FPS, and SaveVideo writes the result. The SDPose logic is packaged as a subgraph, so you can right-click to Unpack Subgraph and tweak internal thresholds or routing if you want finer control.
API
Use this workflow from code
Every Comfy workflow is a JSON graph. The payload below is this workflow, exactly as ComfyUI runs it — fetch it from the URL, keep it in version control, or load it in ComfyUI and run it node by node.
Run it from TypeScript or Python with the Comfy SDK. The same code targets Comfy Cloud or a ComfyUI you host yourself — only the base URL changes.
// Install (beta)
npm i @comfyorg/sdk
// Run "SDPose: Video Multi-Person Detection" (TypeScript)
import { Comfy } from "@comfyorg/sdk";
const client = new Comfy({ apiKey: "comfyui-..." });
// This workflow, exported in API format (see note below)
const wf = await client.workflows.fromFile("utility_sdpose_multi_person_video_api.json");
const job = await client.run(wf);
await job.getOutputs("697")[0].toFile("output.png"); // SaveVideoThe SDK takes a workflow in API format: open this workflow in ComfyUI and use File → Export Workflow (API).
Comfy Cloud API access requires a plan with an API key.
