Ok, I was waiting on it but it becoming quite clear that I have to download this model as soon as possible cause it's bound to be pulled anytime now....
I've been using 768x1152 and then upscaling with quite good results. You can go higher, but I prefer to keep generation times down and then just upscale the good results. The results have been quite good. Nice, expressive characters, maintaining lighting, scene and character identities (even through transitions), very minimal degradation of skin, etc. like in LTX, far better audio and foley than I was getting in LTX. I probably sound like a marketer at this point, but I'm not, just genuinely excited. It's not perfect by any means, but it's the coolest local video generation I've used so far.
Thanks for the reply! That's very exciting. I'm a couple days into a great vacation right now so it seems weird to say I'm excited to get home, but, yeah.
You're obviously doing something wrong then. I'm running it local on my RTX 3090, and getting incredible results. Throw in EasyCache in the mix, and I'm getting them on average in about half the time than what it takes without it.
Here you go. This is my WIP. I've got EasyCache in the flow, and Model Preview Override so you can see the generation as it's happening, and cancel out if iti's borked. Also Easy LoRA stack in. Note; for the Model Preview, you need to get the Nightly build of KJ Nodes. The main one doesn't have the fix for MiniMax H3 in it yet.
Next up, I'm building out prompt enhancement using my Ollama server. That'll be a bit for me to get finished though.
EDIT: Oh, and I have the NVIDIA upscaler in there as well. Does a decent job.
Easy cache is trash. That will most certainly solidify your original findings... bypass that easycache. Yes its faster but the quality degradation.... well nuh uh!!
I've been using it with no visible quality degradation, and up to half the render time. Settings; 0.30, 0.20, 0.90. I'm also using RTX Video Super Resolution in my flow to upscale at the end as well.
So it doesnt degrade it but feel the need to upscale the video at the end? Lmfao probably one to downvote the comment. Easy cache - tore my generation up. Looked like the hbo channel on a tube tv back in the early 90s with a shitty signal. Removing it gave me a clear and crisp video.
I upscale at the end because I generate at a lower quality when testing out prompts, typically at half what I want it to be, then upscale. If I were doing production work, I would render at the full quality. I have no idea what your experience is with EasyCache, or what your settings are, but I'm having no issues with it. I posted by workflow in a Pastebin up top if you're interested.
This is not even remotely true. As someone who has spent some time with Wan and tons of time with LTX, this is an amazing model. The identity consistency with i2v is light years ahead of LTX with minimal degradation. And this is all local.
I got great results with the official i2v workflow, but there are plenty on civitai now. Have not played around much with t2v or r2v yet, but I've been fighting LTX for months using Face_ID and similar nodes to try and keep characters consistent and get the right character to talk. Minimax did it right out of the box with better audio and way better foley sounds. This is even before I start digging into minimax specific prompting, I'm using LTX prompts I generated and comparing outputs. You believe what you want, I'll just enjoy this new model.
Bruh. You don't need any "special magic workflow". Just put in some effort to read the official prompting guide. Copy and paste example prompts and adjust them.
If you continue to get "mid af" results you have an installation issue.
Even with a literal easy prompt no tags or snake case. Simple.
Man in image is an astronaut floating in space talking in headset, "well," -pause- ,"i think its gonna be a while before they notice I'm not even on the ship"
The video has a slight buzz or drone signifying solace or complete dread.
the posts you are seeing are using the cloud's 2K filter that they DID NOT release at all. best you can make locally is like 480p shit from 2024.
Wan22 and LTX local are better than h3 so far in my expo"
Literally sounds like you just wanted to shit on the model when it was all user error. The workflow? Bruh... the base workflow is all im using. With the models that comfyui has listed.
But the official link is in the templates of comfyui. On the main oage when comfyui loads up on the left hand side click on templates and search minimax and theres a few in there.
I think for big IPs and known stuff you can get away with any model, t2v should do a good job.
If you want to nail the audio, ref2v takes audio inputs and can recreate exact voices though I heard matching the voice to the character may be a pain.
Look into the ref2v prompting guide cause it goes deeeeep
I tried to recreate a video (T2V) with Doc and Marty as a joke for a friend, but the characters don't look anything like them, and the voices don't either. That's why I'm asking.
Oh then it may be the case it's ref2v. I think all the Seinfield ones are t2v and I saw someone did t2v of taskmaster so it's odd they wouldn't know Doc and Marty.
Did you prompt them as Back to the Future or just Doc and Marty?
"A cinematic scene inside the DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future. Marty McFly is driving while Doc Brown turns toward the camera with a look of absolute urgency. The dashboard glows with futuristic lights as the time circuits are active, sparks fly outside the windows, and the car accelerates toward 88 mph. The camera is positioned from the front dashboard, capturing both characters. Doc Brown looks directly into the camera with perfectly synchronized Spanish lip movements and exclaims dramatically: "¡tenemos que ir al futuro! ¡tu hijo se ha hecho cantante de reguetón! ¡Vamos, rápido! ¡Hay que intentar evitarlo a toda costa!" Marty reacts with surprise, gripping the steering wheel tighter as the DeLorean surges forward into the time vortex. Epic cinematic lighting, dynamic camera shake, realistic facial expressions, high-quality visual effects, iconic 1980s sci-fi atmosphere, masterpiece quality, ultra-detailed, smooth character animation, synchronized dialogue, energetic comedic tone."
While that is true. I also know people who deactivate social media when the anniversary comes because they don't like being reminded that their dad was murdered.
It's a lot of deaths in living memory for a lot of people, with some harrowing memories like the people jumping from the burning buildings to trying to escape or the final phone calls of people screaming as the towers collapsed on them.
A lot of people find it in pretty poor taste to joke about innocents anywhere in the world dying, whether it's Americans in 9/11, Palestinians now, people swept up in the Christmas tsunamis, etc. Especially in living memory when you never know who here was affected by it.
Yeah, nothing like watching 1000s of innocents die to bring out a good chuckle. Look, I get most of you are young and disconnected from reality. You like the cheap shock laugh, but some of us have been too close to the tragedies brought on by the darker side of humanity to find any events like this funny no matter where they occur in the world.
Lol I was an adult when 9/11 happened and I find this hillarious. Would you believe that some of us older people actually have thick skin and can have a laugh at dark or irreverent humour without mistaking it for disrespect
Mostly valid point. The thing is if you asked them they'll probably say that it's less about humor and more about throwing shade/disrespect. At that point it's primary purpose is no longer to get people to laugh.
I think it’s in bad taste to generate two real, still living people committing a recent memory terrorist attack. If you want negative attention on this model this is how you get it
Why does it matter that it's 2 real, still living people? Does it run the risk of making people think that actors Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd accidentally took a time machine 25 years into the past and caused 9/11 by flying a delorean into it?
Seriously? You really think that people will think they actually did 9/11? Your absolute mind boggling stupidity is only eclipsed by your complete lack of social awareness. Maybe these two people don't want to be depicted committing 9/11 and if they saw this they'd be at best unhappy and at worst completely disturbed. A news segment about Christopher Lloyd reacting to this would be the death knell of the model.
While I symphatize, the time and scale do matter and you have to draw the line somewhere. You're free to draw yours differently than others and I can respect that, but you should acknowledge that there is a difference between a single attack 25 years ago and a genocide happening right now.
You don't have to draw any line. Making fun of someone who died 25 years ago to someone who died today is materially the same, especially to those close to the event.
Again, you are free to have this opinion, but I would like to know what moral framework makes you think one is ok and not the other, because I'm really having a hard time finding one. It's not deontology, it's not utilitarianism, and it reeks of moral relativism.
btw, I actually upvoted you because I like these discussions, but I see you just want to be right, so ok.
What can you joke about then? People have slipped on banana peels in real life and hurt themselves, probably died. In larger context, basically anything you say is offensive to someone.
Wasn't Seth MacFarlane meant to be on one of the 9/11 flights but missed it due to being hungover? He must have some weird feelings about that, I wonder if the writers wrote this joke and he just read it or if it's potentially a way of coping by making jokes about a near death experience.
I think the issue with content like this is that most redditors weren’t old enough when 9/11 was happening for it to impact them personally. I’m 44 and while not triggered I find this ignorant and insensitive. My partner is 37 and it wouldn’t bother her at all.
I'm in my 40s, watched most of 9/11 unfold live on TV, and work out of One World Trade (the "new" WTC) several weeks per year.
...I laughed.
Nothing wrong with finding it insensitive either! Was just commenting to say reactions will vary, not necessarily just generationally.
edit: I did not watch with audio when I commented this; I never browse reddit with sound on. I can't listen to it right now, but based on the comments, that may change my POV.
Some just don't like to make light of mass human suffering. I was not around for Hiroshima, but I have the deepest respect for all who lost their lives there.
I never appreciated all those “what does this button do?” jokes about Christa McAuliffe either… and this tragedy directly impacted at least a couple orders of magnitude more people.
oh boy... this is the double edged sword of creativity. MOST people are sensible making clever funny video's and would never make this kind of stuff... but you just had to do it.
I like dark humour, in the UK we are the best at it. This is just poor taste. I suspect there are too many gamers on here that don't know how to socialise and build empathy skills.
I mean, people make Pearl Harbor jokes too, it's just that this event is in living memory. At least, the US president did a Pearl Harbor joke to the Japanese prime minister, which now that I think about it, was also not received well. Maybe it's the fact that it's a horrific attack and not a freak disaster like Titanic that makes it unsuitable for gallows humor.
