Connecting Nodes
Connections define how data flows between nodes. You create connections by dragging from an output handle to an input handle.Handle types
Handles are color-coded by data type:| Color | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gold (hsl 45°) | Text | Scripts, prompts, analysis results |
| Teal (hsl 174°) | Image | Generated or uploaded images |
| Purple (hsl 280°) | Video | Generated or uploaded videos |
Creating connections
- Hover over an output handle (right side of a node) — it highlights when ready
- Click and drag to an input handle (left side of another node)
- Release to create the connection
- You can only connect handles of the same data type (e.g., image → image)
- Output handles can have multiple connections (fan out to several nodes)
- Input handles accept only one connection — dragging a new connection replaces the existing one
- Invalid connections (mismatched types) are rejected automatically
Connection validation
Hyperclip validates connections in real-time. The connection line turns green when hovering over a valid target handle, and red when the types don’t match.Special cases
Some nodes have dynamic handles:- Mixed Media Analysis — Accepts dynamic image and video inputs in addition to its base text input
- Video Editor — Accepts multiple video inputs for combining clips
- Image Generation — Can accept an optional image input for reference-based generation
