+# ComfyUI-Erosdiffusion-LTX2
+
+Custom ComfyUI nodes for extending video scenes with synchronized audio generation using LTXAVModel.
+
+## Nodes
+
+### LTXVSceneExtender
+All-in-one node for extending video with synchronized audio, image guides, and timestamped prompts.
+
+### LTXVTimelineEditor (Coming Soon)
+Visual timeline editor for creating scene scripts.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone or copy this folder to your ComfyUI `custom_nodes` directory
+2. Restart ComfyUI
+
+## Requirements
+
+- ComfyUI (latest)
+- LTXVideo model
+- LTXAVModel (for audio-video generation)
+
+## Usage
+
+See the [analysis document](docs/analysis.md) for detailed usage examples and script format specification.
+
+## Script Format
+
+```
+[MM:SS-MM:SS] Scene description | audio:spec | first:$0 | MM:SS:$1 | end:$2
+
+# Audio specs:
+#   audio:silent              - No speech/sound
+#   audio:"dialogue text"     - Speech to generate
+#   audio:ambient             - Ambient sounds only
+
+# Image refs:
+#   $0, $1, etc.              - Reference to guide_images batch by index
+#   first:                    - Guide at first frame
+#   end:                      - Guide at last frame
+#   MM:SS:                    - Guide at specific timestamp
+```
+
+## Example
+
+```
+# === SHOT 1: WOMAN INTRODUCTION ===
+
+[00:00-00:02] Closeup of woman's face, neutral expression | audio:silent | first:$0 | end:$1
+[00:02-00:04] Cowboy shot of woman speaking | audio:"Hello, welcome" | first:$2 | 00:03:$3 | end:$4
+[00:04-00:06] Side profile, nodding gently | audio:silent | first:$5 | end:$6

+
+## Initial Requirements (2026-01-19)
+
+### REQ-001: LTXV Audio-Video Extension Node
+**Branch:** feature/REQ-001-scene-extender
+**Status:** In Progress
+
+Create a new ComfyUI node that extends video AND audio simultaneously:
+- Extends existing video and audio using LTXAVModel native generation
+- Supports timestamped prompts with image guides at first/end/specific frames
+- Handles memory constraints (10GB VRAM target)
+- Provides smooth audio blending at chunk transitions
+- Uses only seconds for user-facing time inputs (internal frame math abstracted)
+
+### REQ-002: Timeline Editor Node (Secondary)
+**Branch:** feature/REQ-002-timeline-editor
+**Status:** Planned
+
+Visual timeline interface for creating scene scripts:
+- Drag-and-drop timeline with markers
+- Image thumbnail previews
+- Waveform visualization
+- Dialogue text entry
+- Export to script format
+

+# LTXV Scene Extender - Task Progress
+
+## Phase 1: Core Infrastructure [COMPLETE]
+
+- [x] Create package structure
+- [x] `time_manager.py` - TimeManager class for frame/time abstractions
+- [x] `script_parser.py` - Script parsing for timestamped prompts, audio specs, guides
+- [x] `audio_blender.py` - AudioOverlapBlender for smooth transitions
+- [x] Unit tests for TimeManager - ALL PASS (10/10)
+- [x] Unit tests for script_parser - ALL PASS (16/16)
+- [x] `__init__.py` with v3 NODES registration
+
+## Phase 2: Main Node [IN PROGRESS]
+
+- [x] `scene_extender.py` - LTXVSceneExtender node skeleton (full features)
+- [x] `scene_extender_mvp.py` - LTXVSceneExtenderMVP (testable MVP!)
+- [x] Verify package loads in ComfyUI - PASS
+- [x] MVP: Single-chunk video generation with script parsing
+- [x] MVP: Image guide resolution from batch ($0, $1, etc.)
+- [ ] Full: Multi-chunk looping for long videos
+- [ ] Full: Audio generation integration
+- [ ] Manual testing in ComfyUI
+
+## Phase 3: Timeline Editor [PLANNED]
+
+- [ ] `timeline_editor.py` - Backend node
+- [ ] `js/timeline_editor.js` - Lit-based frontend
+- [ ] Drag-and-drop image markers (user requested)
+- [ ] Waveform visualization
+
+## Phase 4: Documentation [PLANNED]
+
+- [x] README.md
+- [x] requirements.md
+- [ ] Usage examples
+- [ ] Walkthrough
+
+## Files Created
+
+| File | Status | Description |
+|------|--------|-------------|
+| `__init__.py` | DONE | Package entry, v3 NODES registration |
+| `time_manager.py` | DONE | TimeManager class |

+
+## Test Results
+
+```
+TimeManager: 10/10 tests PASS
+Script Parser: 16/16 tests PASS
+Package Import: SUCCESS - Both nodes detected
+```
+
+## MVP Ready for Testing
+
+The **LTXVSceneExtenderMVP** node is ready to test in ComfyUI:
+
+1. Restart ComfyUI to load the new nodes
+2. Find "LTXV Scene Extender (MVP)" in the node browser under "ErosDiffusion/ltxv"
+3. Connect standard LTXV inputs (model, vae, sampler, sigmas, noise, guider)
+4. Optionally provide:
+   - `guide_images`: Batch of images referenced as $0, $1, etc.
+   - `scene_script`: Timestamped prompt with guides
+5. Generate!
