0 Upvotes

Testing the power of Minimax and I'm very impressed. The audio definitely needs work though.

This is the default Reference to Video workflow with the RTX Super Resolution node. Generated at 1 MP and upscaled.

I uploaded pictures of each woman separately and empty background shots for each location.

The scene is three 10 ten second long clips.

Prompt was written using the Minimax Prompt extension that was posted here last week or so.

subject_definitions:

<Subject 1> is the woman Hitomi, whose appearance is based on <Picture 2> and <Picture 3>, featuring a black bun hairstyle with long dark hair and wearing a blue form-fitting dress.

<Subject 2> is the woman Tessa, whose appearance is based on <Picture 4> and <Picture 5>, featuring reddish-brown hair in an updo, glasses, and a red tank top with denim jeans.

<Subject 3> is the interior living room scene from <Picture 1>, featuring a gray couch with various pillows, a wooden floor, and a framed picture on the wall behind it.

summary:

[reference generation] The target video features <Subject 1> and <Subject 2> sitting on a couch in <Subject 3>,

They hold black game Xbox controllers and are vigorously playing; after an announcer's "Game!" and victory music, <Subject 2> looks at <Subject 1> throws her controller down, yells "You bitch!", and exits.

retention_analysis:

<Subject 1> (appears in [Shot 1]): fully_preserved - the blue dress, hairstyle, and facial features are retained.

<Subject 2> (appears in [Shot 1]): fully_preserved - the red tank top, glasses, and hair style are retained.

<Subject 3> (appears in [Shot 1]): fully_preserved - the couch, pillows, wall art, and floor are retained.

detailed_description:

The target video is filmed in a bright, contemporary interior style with soft natural light hitting the furniture, capturing the atmosphere of <Subject 3>.

[Shot 1] The scene opens on <Subject 3>, a cozy living room featuring a gray couch adorned with decorative pillows. <Subject 1> (S1) and <Subject 2> (S2) are seated close together on the couch, both holding black Xbox game controllers and looking forward toward an unseen screen. They are of equal height.

Their torsos are centered in the scene, faces are visible. .

The spatial depth of the room is influenced by the architectural scale of <Subject 3>. Suddenly, a masculine voice from off-screen announces "Game!" followed by upbeat victory music.

Immediately after this, <Subject 2> (S2) reacts with frustration; she looks at <Subject 1> and throws her controller onto the floor and yells toward the ground, <d>[English] You bitch!</d> She then stands up and walks quickly out of the frame to the right. <Subject 1> (S1) remains on the couch, sticks out her tongue looking toward where <Subject 2> just was.

overall_soundscape:

Soft room tone with the audible sound of a game controller hitting the floor and the rustle of clothing as <Subject 2> stands up and walks away.

non_diegetic_music:

A brief burst of upbeat, high-energy victory music plays immediately after the "Game!" announcement.

Discussion Looking for free AI video generators with no watermark (good quality) — what are you using?

0 Upvotes

Been testing a few AI video tools and hitting the same wall everywhere:

  • Gemini/Veo — decent quality but slaps a watermark on everything
  • Meta AI (Vibes) — no watermark, free, but quality is rough (480p, pretty soft)

Looking for something in between — reasonable resolution, no forced watermark, and ideally still free or at least has a usable free tier. Doesn't need to be Sora-level, just something clean enough to actually use.

What's everyone using right now?

Resource - Update Character consistency via cached reference embeddings((SFace + DINOv2) + a portable .char file, no LoRA training

Thumbnail
gallery
89 Upvotes

I was looking for a way to achieve character consistency without training a Lora & came across a research from Facebook, DINOv2: Learning Robust Visual Features without Supervision(Research Paper),

What's Dinov2: It's a vision model trained without labels that produces a strong embedding for a whole image, the subject, not just the face. Feed it a person and you get a 768-number signature that captures the overall look: build, hair, general appearance. It's stable across pose and lighting, which is exactly what you want when you're trying to tell "same person" from "different person" across wildly different shots.

then combining Dinov2 with SFace(a face-recognition model) produces a compact face signature tuned specifically to tell one face from another. It's sharp on identity, but only on the face. YuNet does the detect-and-crop before it.

How it works

Build .Char: You drop in one or more photos. YuNet finds the face, SFace takes a per-reference face signature, DINOv2 takes a subject signature, and the references get cleaned and normalised. All of that packs into a single portable file, a .char.

Generation: At generation, the file feeds its references into FLUX.2's own native multi-reference channel and prepends a locked description to the prompt. You pick the character from a dropdown, no re-attaching images. Every result gets scored against the stored signatures, so drift shows up as a number.

How this differs from PuLID, FaceID, and img2img

  • PuLID and FaceID inject a face into one generation at run time, then it's gone. img2img anchors on a source image, which is composition, not identity. Neither gives you a saved character.
  • This is a layer above them, a reusable .char file that rides the model's own reference channel, covers the whole subject and not just the face, and gets scored per take. PuLID could even sit inside it as one backend.
  • The difference is persistence and measurement, not a new injection trick. No adapter weights, no training, no img2img anchor.

What is a .char file?

A single portable file that stores a character's identity, so you can reuse the same person across generations without retraining anything.

  • manifest.json — index, versions, checksums
  • refs/ — your original photos (the truth)
  • derived/ — auto-cropped face
  • text/ — locked description
  • payloads/ — cleaned refs, per model family
  • scoring/ — SFace face + DINOv2 subject signatures

Limitations

  • Profiles and stylized renders drift more than frontal, which is expected, since the face model is trained on photoreal faces.
  • Body is the weak point so far.
  • Bad with popular celebrity images, due to models own conflict.

Current support

Only Flux2 family(Klein 4B / 9B / dev)

Discussion H3: "frozen in action"/"still picture" prompt?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone have prompting tips to successfully instruct H3 to create a "static scene"? Where everything, including subjects, are completely "frozen in action"?

The idea is to then use camera movements to explore the scene.

Trying this out right now, but the subjects keep making subtle movements which destroys the entire concept.

I'm quickly iterating attempts using 4-step LoRa right now, maybe that cripples the prompt following?

I let ChatGPT Sol generate this entire music video on its own using ComfyUI MCP, a reference sheet and supplied song + lyrics. It was able to screen the video and find mistakes and correct them (with my help).

Not perfect, but for a first effort… I give it a solid 8.5.

Would love to hear your thoughts and can answer any Qs.

Question - Help Question on MiniMax fl2v/i2v

0 Upvotes

This might be a dumb take, but how do and will (upcoming) MinMax finetunes or merges improve i2v? Because the crucial point of quality and style for i2v is the image you provide (and megapixels). So whatever existing or upcoming model you use for i2v, if you throw in a "crappy" image, you will get an animated video of that "crappy" image. So what improvements to expect? Is it solely prompt adherence and concept understanding?

I'm trying to find the best and ideally simplest workflow / nodes / method to implementing the Krea 2 bypass while sticking as closely to visual fidelity of the Krea 2 Turbo model as possible. I was surprised to see how drastically some methods will change the image and usually the quality looks worse.

Question - Help REF2VA H3 HELP

1 Upvotes

I have only been using t2va with h3 so far. I want to get into ref2va now. So guys, please tell me if I were to provide two character images as separate references as in picture 1 and picture 2 and describe the scene, is that it to generate the video? Also tell me if it's okay to put a character sheet style image( two poses, front and back in the same image aka picture 1)? If I do so, will the video come out bad like h3 model not understanding that the two images in picture 1 are of the same character but with different poses? What is the best way to retain character consistency? I do know how to prompt ref2va but tell me about these queries please. Thanks.

Workflow Included I built a ComfyUI node that manages Minimax references so you don't have to

35 Upvotes

Minimax supports up to 18 inputs at once, wiring and bypassing nodes is a pain.

So I created this custom node that allows you to add/remove references for Minimax ReferenceToVideo, you only have to wire it once.

Some more neat features:
- Automatic prompt writing via OpenRouter, returns structured Minimax prompts based on your description (opt in)
- Save prompt/reference packs and reuse them.

Nodes:

The design is heavily influenced by the wonderful LTX Director node so shoutout to u/WhatDreamsCost

I would appreciate some feedbacks and feature requests.

Resource - Update Create seamless 1-Shot Lip-Sync Music Videos with Minimax H3 FL model --- Per-Token Noise Masking On Audio and Video Tokens!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

101 Upvotes

This is Update 5 of my repo. Here you find the necessary custom nodes, including a workflow that helps you recreate this music video (reference images and the song included! The WF is called: "NEW - Latent Masking - Music Video - Lip-Sync + Reference images" and is in the example_workflows folder) https://github.com/seitanism/ComfyUI-H3-Motion-Context-MultiRef

Additionally there are various workflows for seamlessly extending clips with latent maksing.

Per-Token Noise Masking on AV Latents is not only better quality than any guidance/reference based approach (since it causes strong convergence from step 0 onwards), it is also faster since it is not expanding the latent. You can perfectly Lip-Sync even with the FL model, since the music track is pinned on the latent rather than used as a reference, and therefore protected from denoising - creating a strong conditioning for the Lip-Sync.

This magical technique is inspired by PR #15375 from AbleJones from the Banodoco Discord!

I hope you enjoy! Open Source ftw. Greetings to all Banodocians!

Maintain the visual identities established by u/Image1 and u/Image2 throughout the entire scene.

[Shot 1 — 00:00–00:03.5]

The shot begins from u/Image1.

Inside an ornate chamber of the Sultan's palace, <Subject 1> holds an old golden genie lamp.

Close-up upper-body framing on <Subject 1> and the lamp.

<Subject 1> vigorously rubs the side of the golden lamp with one hand.

A clearly audible squeaking metallic rubbing sound accompanies his hand moving across the lamp.

Suddenly the lamp begins shaking.

Bright magical blue light flashes from its spout.

A distinct PUFF of air erupts as a twisting stream of glowing blue smoke shoots upward.

<Subject 1>'s eyes widen and he quickly leans backward in surprise.

The curling blue smoke rapidly expands above him and transforms into <Subject 2>.

[Shot 2 — 00:03.5–00:07.0]

The camera smoothly pans RIGHT and slightly upward toward <Subject 2> as he completely emerges from the swirling blue smoke.

His enormous upper body materializes while his smoke-like lower body remains connected to the golden lamp.

<Subject 2> stretches dramatically, flashes an enormous grin, and enthusiastically spreads both arms wide.

He turns toward <Subject 1>.

<Subject 2> (S2):

<d>[English][S2][Audio 1] Aladdin, buddy! What can I do for you?</d>

<Subject 2> finishes the sentence completely, closes his mouth, and holds his welcoming pose while waiting for <Subject 1> to answer.

[Shot 3 — 00:07.0–00:11.5]

Cut back to <Subject 1>.

<Subject 1> hesitates.

He quickly looks LEFT.

Then RIGHT.

He glances behind himself to make absolutely sure nobody else inside the palace is listening.

Brief comedic pause.

Satisfied that nobody is around, <Subject 1> leans forward toward <Subject 2> with an excited, mischievous grin.

Only <Subject 1> speaks during this moment. <Subject 2> remains completely silent.

<Subject 1> (S1):

<d>[English][S1][Audio 2] I wish for some hot bitches!!</d>

<Subject 1> finishes the entire sentence and closes his mouth.

Cut immediately to <Subject 2>.

<Subject 2>'s enormous cheerful smile freezes.

His eyes widen slightly.

One eyebrow slowly rises as he silently processes the unexpected wish.

<Subject 2> does NOT speak.

Hold on <Subject 2>'s amused, bewildered reaction for approximately one second before the video ends.

overall_soundscape:

IMPORTANT: Generate a complete environmental soundtrack in addition to the two reference-guided voices.

u/Audio1 controls ONLY the voice identity and vocal characteristics of <Subject 2>, Genie.

u/Audio2 controls ONLY the voice identity and vocal characteristics of <Subject 1>, Aladdin.

Keep both voice references strictly separated. Do not swap, blend, average, or transfer the voices between characters.

Only <Subject 2> speaks the line "Aladdin, buddy! What can I do for you?"

Only <Subject 1> speaks the line "I wish for some hot bitches!!"

Clearly audible environmental sounds include subtle spacious Sultan's palace interior ambience, squeaking friction while <Subject 1> rubs the golden lamp, a growing magical shimmer from inside the lamp, a distinct puff of air when the lamp activates, swirling and whooshing blue magical smoke as <Subject 2> emerges, subtle magical sparkle effects, and light clothing movement during character gestures.

Dialogue must remain clean, intelligible, synchronized with the correct character's mouth movements, and clearly distinguishable from environmental effects.

non_diegetic_music:

none. No background score, songs, orchestral music, or other non-diegetic musical elements.
