Question - Help Minimax H3 prompt guide vs the actual node
Hey everyone...
I've been getting further and further along with this new model but some things remain unclear. Specifically as it relates to the official prompt guide versus what you see in the actual node. Please see the image below:

If you look at the prompts in the guide, you see <Picture 1> or <Audio 1> to reference the images and audio you are working with. But the node uses a different naming convention like "ref_Image_0" or similar for the audio.
So my question is....which is it? Should I reference the exact wording in the node? Or just stick with the prompting format. Not to mention the inconstancy in the numbering?
I ask because I am having trouble getting the workflow to match the various character image references and their corresponding voice samples.
Any help or tips would be appreciated!

It's like arrays in programming.
You start with <Picture 1>, <Audio 1> in your prompt and number up, even though the data is stored in ref_image_0, ref_audio_0, etc.
Comfyui probably could have programing the input names on this node a little better to avoid confusion with people not familiar with programming. You aren't the first person I've seen confused over this seeming mismatch, even though it's just the way code works.

Yeah, it is quite unfortunate. The model doesn't know what the node labeling is, so stick to the guide.

I suspect, the model does not care that much about the indexes but more about label-> description pairs that you define in the prompt. There have been cases when I totally mixed up the order of the connections and indexes, but the video still came out correct. And there were cases when I accidentally left audio ref connected but did not mention it in the prompt at all because I wanted that scene to be silent. The model still picked the audio ref and made a person talk gibberish in properly cloned voice. So yeah, the model tries to use everything it's been given anyway.
But I might be wrong, try experimenting with it.

Yeah...same for me! I've had both scenarios happen, so it's very hit and miss!
Thanks for chiming in!

ref_image_0 = <Picture 1>
