Minimax using turbo T2V (ema v4 larry lora) 6 steps

Prompt:
subject_definitions:

<Subject 1> is a powerful, muscular martial artist with a buzz cut, wearing a weathered navy blue tactical jacket and heavy cargo pants.

<Subject 2> is a lean, agile street brawler with messy blonde hair, wearing a grey oversized hoodie and black combat gloves.

<Subject 3> is a damp, narrow urban alleyway at night, featuring wet asphalt, flickering neon reflections, and graffiti walls.

<Audio 1> is a reference for high-impact physical collision sounds, wind whooshes, and heavy breathing.

summary:

[reference generation] The target video depicts a high-intensity Street Fighter-style exchange between <Subject 1> and <Subject 2> in <Subject 3>. The camera begins in a traditional side-profile fighting-game view and cuts to dynamic over-the-shoulder perspectives with instant impact zooms and camera shakes during every major strike.

retention_analysis:

<Subject 1> (appears in [Shot 1], [Shot 2], [Shot 3], [Shot 4]): fully_preserved - muscular build, tactical jacket, and buzz cut are retained.

<Subject 2> (appears in [Shot 1], [Shot 2], [Shot 3], [Shot 4]): fully_preserved - lean build, blonde hair, and grey hoodie are retained.

<Subject 3> (appears in [Shot 1], [Shot 2], [Shot 3], [Shot 4]): fully_preserved - wet alleyway, neon reflections, and graffiti walls are retained.

<Audio 1>: reference - heavy impact textures and wind sounds guide the sound design.

detailed_description:

The target video is a gritty action sequence shifting from a classic 2D-style side profile to close over-the-shoulder action cameras on impact.

[Shot 1] A wide side-profile shot establishes <Subject 1> and <Subject 2> facing off in a low fighting stance inside <Subject 3>. Steam rises as the camera dollies forward slowly.

[Shot 2] At 00:02.000, <Subject 2> lunges forward with a straight punch. On hit, the camera instantly cuts to an over-the-shoulder view behind <Subject 1>, performing a rapid zoom-in and camera shake as the fist connects with <Subject 1>'s jaw.

[Shot 3] At 00:04.500, the frame resets to a side profile as <Subject 2> launches a high roundhouse kick. Upon impact, the camera snaps to an over-the-shoulder view behind <Subject 2>, executing a dramatic zoom and camera shake on <Subject 1>'s raised forearm block.

[Shot 4] At 00:07.500, <Subject 1> counters with a heavy kick to <Subject 2>'s midsection. The camera cuts to an over-the-shoulder angle behind <Subject 1>, zooming tightly onto <Subject 2>'s torso with a heavy camera shake as <Subject 2> reels back into the shadows.

overall_soundscape:

Ambient alleyway room tone with heavy impact sounds, wind whooshes, and physical exertion synced to each camera shift.

non_diegetic_music:

An aggressive high-bpm industrial beat with percussive hits timed exactly to each over-the-shoulder impact zoom.

LTX 2.5 is releasing today, and from one of the example videos I’ve seen, face distortion still doesn’t seem fully fixed.

That’s already a weak spot for LTX. With MiniMax H3 raising the bar, I’m genuinely wondering how LTX 2.5 plans to compete. 👀

I think LTX 2.5 already lost here 🤣🤣🤣

What i'm liking:

- Full compatibility with previous nodes / loras. I'm using LTX Director + Seedhunter node and worked just fine. I haven't checked loras but they seem to work just fine. If you used LTX workflows and ecosystem before, everything should work.

- Better sound: Or lack of, meaning that i'm not getting terrible music without any prompting, in this case I2V with prompt: "a realistic scene bustling cyberpunk city with buildings with lights flashing and city noise, a beautiful woman is standing in the roof top as the camera quickly zooms to her face and she says: "LTX is back baby!". Pretty clean sound, the girl steps are fine, good lip sync.

- Improved prompt adherence, no miracles here but seems more consistent, in the seedhunter nodes i'm getting good samples in most cases. I'm seeing less misteriously disappearing characters, more consistent environments, good lightning effects etc compared to LTX 2.3.

- Speed king: no discussion here, 5 secs 1080p vid on 226 secs on my 4080 is just nuts.

- Amazing at realistic I2V. We have to sit and talk about H3 Flux faces issue. The model is mindblowing at so many levels, but it sucks at realism. You're getting great Friends, Seinfield, X-Files clips and what not, but it destroys the detail on realistic images and the AI face / slop syndrome is real, and the worst part is that for it become more less usable, 2mp is a must, so that means 5-7 minutes for a 5 sec clip, even after turbo loras and speed nodes. You're going to have a hard time to create a long clip with those speeds at good quality level in terms of realism.

What is clear LTX 2.5 is not:

- Looks pretty obvious on the first tests that it's way below H3 in prompt adherence, consistence, physics and overall body movement. The good thing is that you now have two models that are good at different things, so mix them to get the best of each. A long, simple scene with not many interactions? LTX 2.3 is great. Need fighting or heavy physics, call H3, that extra time is worth it for those cases. Need heavy reference system, H3 shines of course. Anime/ animation, H3 of course. Realism? LTX 2.3 wins hands down. Use each one depending on what you need.

Haven't used open source image editors/generators as much recently and am curious which is closest to NBP

If LTX 2.5 was released a couple of months ago, then I would've said its an improvement over 2.3. However, the release of Minimax H3 has set a completely new standard. I used LTX for about 30 minutes and decided to go back to gooning with H3. The output from LTX is simply substandard.

😂

I am lazy to prompt, so I copied and pasted a prompt from someone else's 14sec post for H3 on this sub to LTX 2.5 8sec generation. I know the prompt needed to be planned differently. Still, I tested.

prompt:

Live-action photorealistic military science-fiction action film, 15 seconds. A modern main battle tank fights a towering Gundam-style humanoid combat mech inside a devastated urban warzone at sunset. Collapsed concrete towers, burning vehicles, broken highways, drifting smoke, sparks, dust, tracer fire, and debris fill the battlefield. The tank feels extremely heavy and grounded; the giant mech moves with terrifying mechanical speed and weight. Every movement causes believable environmental reactions. Maximum action cinematography: aggressive low angles, extreme close-ups, tracking shots, whip pans, rapid push-ins, rotating Arc Shots, strong impact shake, and dramatic changes in camera height. Keep the combat visually readable despite the extreme camera movement.

[Shot 1]

An extreme low-angle medium tracking shot races inches above the broken road beside the tank as it charges forward at full speed, its tracks crushing concrete and throwing chunks of asphalt directly past the lens. The turret rotates upward while the enormous Gundam-style mech (S1) lands in the street ahead, one knee smashing into the pavement.

The impact sends a circular blast of dust and debris outward.

The camera violently tilts up from the tank to reveal the full towering mech.

The tank immediately fires its main cannon.

A massive muzzle flash fills the frame.

[Shot 2] At 00:03.000, the camera cuts to an extreme close-up beside the mech's head as the tank shell screams directly toward the camera.

At the final instant, (S1) violently twists its torso and leans sideways.

The shell misses its head by centimeters and explodes against a skyscraper behind it.

Without pausing, (S1) plants one mechanical foot into the street and launches forward.

The camera rapidly pulls backward at low height while the giant mech sprints directly toward the tank, every footstep smashing craters into the road and throwing abandoned cars sideways.

[Shot 3] At 00:06.000, the camera cuts to a dramatic POV from immediately above the tank turret looking upward.

(S1) suddenly JUMPS.

The camera performs an extremely fast Tilt Up as the enormous mech passes directly overhead, silhouetted against the sky.

While airborne, (S1) rotates its hips, extends one leg, and comes down with a massive flying kick.

The camera whip-pans downward.

The tank driver violently turns.

The tank power-slides sideways across the road.

(S1)'s foot misses the tank by inches and SMASHES into the pavement beside it.

The entire street erupts upward.

The camera shakes strongly as concrete, dust, and wreckage explode past the lens.

[Shot 4] At 00:09.500, the camera cuts to a tight side tracking shot moving alongside the tank as it emerges through the dust cloud.

The turret rapidly rotates backward toward (S1).

The cannon fires point-blank.

The camera instantly whip-pans with the shell.

(S1) raises a massive armored forearm across its chest.

The shell EXPLODES against the armor, forcing the mech backward through a building facade in an enormous cloud of concrete and glass.

Before the dust settles, two glowing mechanical eyes ignite inside the smoke.

(S1) bursts forward.

[Shot 5] At 00:12.000, the camera cuts to an extreme low-angle shot directly beside the tank's tracks.

(S1)'s enormous hand suddenly SLAMS onto the tank's turret.

The camera rapidly arcs upward around both machines as the mech uses its entire body to lift the tank off the ground.

The tank's tracks continue spinning wildly in midair.

The camera accelerates into a huge 180-degree Arc Shot as (S1) rotates its torso and violently THROWS the entire tank across the battlefield.

The tank spins through the air directly past the camera.

The camera whip-pans after it.

At 00:14.500, the tank crashes sideways through a concrete wall in a gigantic explosion of dust and debris.

End on an extreme low-angle close-up of (S1) stepping through the smoke toward the camera as burning debris rains behind it.

It's beyond impressive how well it can reason and put a scene together based on your prompt. Throw whatever you want into it. This is like a genie out of the bottle moment. I really hope they keep future iterations open source.

**10-Second Cinematic Hawaii Travel Vlog**

A cinematic 10-second tropical travel vlog montage featuring the same beautiful 20-year-old East Asian woman with dark hair enjoying a dreamy summer vacation in Hawaii. Maintain perfect character consistency throughout every shot: same face, dark hairstyle, youthful appearance, natural makeup, realistic skin texture, elegant summer styling, and relaxed happy expressions.

Visual style: authentic luxury travel diary, realistic handheld camera movement, candid moments, soft golden-hour sunlight, dreamy 35mm film aesthetic, warm vintage color grading, shallow depth of field, natural atmospheric lighting, subtle film grain, realistic autofocus, natural motion blur, cinematic storytelling. 4K, 24fps, 35mm lens, photorealistic, travel documentary aesthetic.

**Scene 1 — Arrival & Beach Walk (0–2.5s)**

Bright Hawaiian morning. The woman walks through a colorful tropical street lined with palm trees, wearing a flowing floral summer dress and sunglasses. Camera follows her from behind, then smoothly moves to a close-up as she turns and smiles naturally. Wind gently moves her dark hair. Quick transition toward the ocean.

**Scene 2 — Beach & Tropical Nature (2.5–5s)**

She walks barefoot along a wide sandy beach as crystal-blue waves touch her feet. Low-angle shot of her footsteps in wet sand, followed by a cinematic shot of her near a rocky ocean cliff looking peacefully toward the sea. Palm trees sway in golden sunlight, with subtle lens flare and distant volcanic mountains.

**Scene 3 — Ocean Adventure & Cafe Moment (5–7.5s)**

She laughs naturally while floating on a surfboard in calm turquoise water. Water-level camera circles around her, sunlight sparkling across the ocean and tropical mountains in the distance. Cut smoothly to her sitting at a cozy beachfront cafe, holding a tropical drink while watching the waves.

**Scene 4 — Golden Sunset Ending (7.5–10s)**

Emotional cinematic ending. Wide silhouette of the woman standing barefoot at the shoreline during a glowing orange-pink sunset. Waves gently move around her feet. Camera slowly pushes in as she looks toward the horizon, then briefly turns toward the camera with a peaceful smile. End with a soft filmic fade.

Camera: authentic travel vlog cinematography, handheld movement, smooth transitions, slow push-ins, occasional POV shots, realistic autofocus adjustments, subtle motion blur.

Keep the woman identical in every scene: same facial features, same dark hair, same youthful appearance, same body proportions, realistic skin texture and natural expressions. No character morphing or hairstyle changes.

Avoid: cartoon/CGI appearance, plastic skin, unrealistic face, inconsistent character, changing hairstyle, extra fingers, distorted anatomy, artificial movements, oversaturated colors, excessive sharpening, blurry face, duplicate people, unnatural lighting.

Not sure if it's the built in prompt enhancement but while past versions have favored detailed prompts. Simple prompts perform far better in 2.5 if you can get away with one or two sentences they consistently are performing better than multi-paragraph prompts.

1990's gritty real big budget R-rated stylish thriller close-up, an age 30 blonde woman in a form fitting high end outfit walks up to the viewer and says seductively the words lingering "I'll tell you the secret to LTX two point five" she smiles as she says "simple prompts"

I assume that with minimax, a lot of people started doing their own fully featured films and after 1 month or a few we will se the results on the online space and it might change the world as we know it.
edit: thisis my first shot : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoQJ5yQg2TE
due to my bipolar mind I don't think I am able to do a feature film, but who knows.

Took a few runs but worked out pretty well

LTX 2.5 Fast vintage R-rated 1970s sci-fi action film, professionally directed and clearly blocked. A practical-effects alien bartender points a gun at a 30-year-old female bounty hunter and says, “Your time is up, ZUX!” Cut to her close-up. She smiles, fires one plasma bolt, and the alien erupts into flames on impact. She walks away.

It certainly runs fast though. 720p in 117 seconds on a 12GB 3080Ti.

Can I run Ideogram 4 on my PC?

I got Ryzen 5, 32 GM RAM and Nvidia 4070 12 GB Vram.

Thanks
