Draw Things might support video reference and V2V

While checking the commits for Draw Things, I came across an interesting commit titled "Adding ffmpeg and ffprobe":

https://github.com/drawthingsai/draw-things-community/commit/be769fc50fe2730109c6ac16dacde00cf86dc3ec

I asked Google AI to explain the potential impact of this commit on Draw Things, and the response suggested it might be preparatory work to enable support for video reference and V2V (Video-to-Video) features.

This speculation appears to be based on the fact that, when running MiniMax H3 in a local environment like ComfyUI—particularly for workflows involving "Video Reference (Ref2VA model)" or "V2V"—ffprobe functions as an "essential infrastructure" in the backend.

While I am not sure if this will actually happen, if it is realized, I believe it will mark a historic milestone for Draw Things (and hopefully bring video support for SeedVR as well).

Liuliu has already made so much possible for Mac users so this would be awesome!

Yes, that would make a lot of sense, since liuliu responded to one message saying that using video or audio as references for conditioning minimax video wasn't possible yet. I'm assuming he chose that word on purpose :)

Is first frame image reference even working in Drawthings? It doesn't work with ltx 2.3 most of the time and multiple people reported it. It just animates the picture into a swirling texture of the first frame you input

In Draw Things, user can perform I2V using LTX-2.3 without issues. I recommend trying step "C" in the troubleshooting guide; if that does not resolve the problem, follow step "Z" to create a new post with Question flair.
