# CLIPTextEncodeSD3 - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> CLIPTextEncodeSD3 processes text inputs for Stable Diffusion 3 models by encoding multiple text prompts using different CLIP models.

CLIPTextEncodeSD3 processes text inputs for Stable Diffusion 3 models by encoding multiple text prompts using different CLIP models. It handles three separate text inputs (`clip_g`, `clip_l`, and `t5xxl`) and provides options for managing empty text padding. The node ensures proper token alignment between different text inputs and returns conditioning data suitable for SD3 generation pipelines.

## Inputs

| Parameter | Description | Data Type | Required | Range |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| `clip` | The CLIP model used for text encoding | CLIP | Yes | - |
| `clip_l` | Text input for the local CLIP model. Supports multiline text and dynamic prompts. | STRING | Yes | - |
| `clip_g` | Text input for the global CLIP model. Supports multiline text and dynamic prompts. | STRING | Yes | - |
| `t5xxl` | Text input for the T5-XXL model. Supports multiline text and dynamic prompts. | STRING | Yes | - |
| `empty_padding` | Controls how empty text inputs are handled. When set to "none", empty text inputs for `clip_g`, `clip_l`, or `t5xxl` result in empty token lists instead of padding. When set to "empty\_prompt", empty inputs are tokenized as empty prompts (standard padding behavior). This is an advanced parameter (default: "none"). | COMBO | Yes | `"none"`<br />`"empty_prompt"` |

**Parameter Constraints:**

* When `empty_padding` is set to "none", empty text inputs for `clip_g`, `clip_l`, or `t5xxl` result in empty token lists instead of padding
* The node automatically balances token lengths between `clip_l` and `clip_g` inputs by padding the shorter one with empty tokens when lengths differ
* All text inputs support dynamic prompts and multiline text entry

## Outputs

| Output Name | Description | Data Type |
| - | - | - |
| `CONDITIONING` | The encoded text conditioning data ready for use in SD3 generation pipelines | CONDITIONING |
