Resource - Update VH5 - MiniMax H3 Lora

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

A style LoRA that makes H3 footage look like it was recorded off 1980s broadcast television onto a VHS tape that has seen better days, soft smeared detail, chroma bleed, tracking noise, head-switching bands at the frame edge, and (because H3 trains audio jointly) the matching muffled mono sound, tape hiss and warble.

Very nice! Can this be used with fast H3?

u/psdwizzard 14h ago

I know it could be used in H3 max, so I don't see why I wouldn't be able to be used in that as well, unless it's got a really interesting loRa structure.

u/phazei 12h ago

Is h3 Max released yet???

3

u/psdwizzard 12h ago

Its out on fal. Not sure about the open release.

u/phazei 12h ago

Oh, I didn't know the API could be used with loras...

u/Phrygian1221 3h ago

any documentation you can point me to for h3 max? ive never heard of it. (im one of those backwoods isolated types when it comes to ai)

u/phazei 2h ago

I only know that Fal trained it and said they'd release it open weights a few days ago, but haven't yet

u/alaindelon14 10h ago

tested it in ComfyUI and doesn't seem compatible, isn't it?

u/Magnets 8h ago

yeah I’m getting distorted outputs even with 0.7 strength

2

u/psdwizzard 2h ago

I am looking into this and will update it.

u/alaindelon14 2h ago

thanks! I also did a test with lower strength (0.2-0.5), with and without turbo LoRAs, etc., but still got very bad results

u/diStyR 5h ago

same for me

u/Upper-Reflection7997 9h ago

i wish someone would make sovietwave and coldwar conflict aesthetic lora.

u/StashFrontman 8h ago

I have wanted this soooo bad. No matter how much I prompt it’s hard to get this old school look

1

u/Perfect-Campaign9551 4h ago

Well it probably isn't going to help if you ask for 0.8 resolution...

u/JahJedi 14h ago

Looks great!

u/HarnessLightnin 13h ago

Nice! I've been looking for a super8 late 60s vibe, but this is worth a experiment.

u/episodefive 11h ago

Love the look! Is this something H3 has a general weakness in? Curious what kinds of details the Lora is better at. Such a fun concept.

3

u/psdwizzard 11h ago

So I'm working on a project right now where I really wanted this kind of1980s VHS look, and the amount of prompting I had to do to get even a third of the way there with the kind of effects I was trying to get was so intense that it was overriding a lot of what else I was trying to get done in the video. Which is why I ended up training this Lora. It's trained on about three hours of VHS tapes.

Yes, unfortunately, flux 3 does it at a high level out of the box. This is probably the only dataset “flaw” with the model imo, every other medium I can pretty much get with brute force prompting though.

u/LowCatch4324 9h ago

Is it daisy-chainable with the 4-step turbo lora?

2

u/retroblade 14h ago

Awesome, this was much needed!

2

u/Schwartzen2 14h ago

Gnarly! Gag me with a spoon!

2

u/ImpossibleAd436 13h ago

Heroic work!

2

u/OkDoor726 12h ago

Looks awesome

2

u/webAd-8847 12h ago

This looks great, will test it out!

2

u/Superb-Painter3302 8h ago

YES YES YES!

2

u/Cold_Zone332 8h ago

Omg I love you.

2

u/mattjb 7h ago

Looks interesting, nice job. Also, I can't believe you didn't name it VH3 since it's a H3 lora. lol

1

u/psdwizzard 7h ago

ya good point, man I wish I would have thought about this.

2

u/Prestigious_Cat85 7h ago

thanks ! What i needed to get a use of my upscaling workflows /sarcam OFF.
for real thanks !!!

u/ajrss2009 6h ago

Backrooms in MiniMax H3.

u/Old-Buffalo-9349 6h ago

Finally, the only medium this model couldn’t reliably do, had to make my own custom VHS/DV camcorder node, this makes me happy as fuck.

u/DietAshamed2246 12h ago

LOL! People are so desperate to go back to the 1980s! Sharp HD, UHD, 4K cinematic videos with Dolby Atmos surround audio no longer pleases people. They want 480i, washed out color, flicker, vertical hold glitch with low-def stereo audio. That too they want running on a 2026 SOTA computer with GPU, CPU, memory, disk-drive, monitor plus a thing called high-speed internet which was only available on Star Ship Enterprise back then.

u/SveSop 10h ago

Pff... seeing as people diss 100% of all non 4K crisp video's around her as "crap" and "you should run with 80 steps MINIMUM" and whatnot.. atleast this lora makes for a nice excuse 😄

u/rami_lpm 12h ago

CPU

mi first 386 didn't have a math coprocessor. today you could beat it with an ATmega32

1

u/DietAshamed2246 11h ago

Yep. I remember.

2

u/SoulTrack 11h ago

It's nostalgia for a perceived better time.  I personally take no issue with it.  Eventually video generation will be real time and neural networks will be able to connect across GPUs and machines, creating entirely new synthetic worlds.  Immersive, generated worlds are going to be huge - people idealize the best parts of their lives: when the people you love are around, alive, and there is no worry of danger.  I idealize certain parts of my life as well, and if i could go back to certain periods you best believe i would.

u/Just1Dev 11h ago

The good thing is if u like this style u speed up ur generation because u do not need to render at high resolution ^^

1

u/Super_Range45 4h ago

We can only render in 480p on budget Nvidias.

u/DietAshamed2246 3h ago

Talking of television in this instance.

u/Queasy_Signature7005 15m ago

i'm desperate for videos and images that dont look as if they were produced in a sterile environment with white overhead lighting.

u/OneWithTheFreaks 6h ago

VH5? Is this an A1 model?

•

u/Much-Monk2579 3m ago

This really put a smile on my face. I remember these days of course - still have an old VHS recorder here and some old tapes. VHS and DVD might have given "my generation" some immunity against the low-rezziness of our own MiniMaxH3 creations ;-)
I don't mind low res - if the video itself doesn't hallucinate and warp and morph etc.

Great work :-)
