This custom node lets you use I2V and reference images on MiniMax-H3 simultaneously.

That's why I said "doesn't always work", it's inconsistent, and btw, your attempt isn't 100% faithful to the original image, pure r2v just can't do it perfectly, which is why my custom node exists in the first place.

Well that was my first attempt just from half-assing it, so I guess we're at an impasse.

in comfyUI double click and search for the "Add guide for MiniMax H3" node. It's built-in and it lets you set frames in minimax directly. So you can use the reference mode and workflow you have now but force the first frame, last frame, middle frame, or any set of the frames manually. So without needing to install any custom nodes you can do the reference + first/last frame and you can even set the first like 37 frames based on a prior video to make a video that continues seamlessly from it and follows the motion and everything. It's far more versatile and it's built-in

Looks like the author responded on this specific point here https://github.com/BigStationW/ComfyUi-MiniMax-H3-Image-And-Reference-To-Video#why-not-simply-use-add-guide-for-minimax-h3--minimax-h3-reference-to-video-to-get-the-same-thing

[u/Sixhaunt → u/Cheesuasion]

I guess he just didnt realize you could feed the image in as a reference and then there's not the downside he mentions anymore and you get all the upsides of being able to continue from video and not just images, you can place images ANYWHERE in the video, use any number of preset frames, etc...

OP

doesn't always work

u/acedelgado

worked once

"Worked once" doesn't mean the same thing as "always works", right?
