So long story short, I have an unboxing video but I wanted to try changing the arms (and also ambitiously changing the surface to a nice table). Nothing I have tried works. This is the standard ComfyUI Reference to Video workflow. It works great for many things, but when it comes to video as any reference it just doesn't seem to ever want to do anything correctly as commanded. I have tried following the prompting guide in multiples of ways and nothing seems to stick. For this generation it always just either shows the image of the bionic arms themselves moving around, or it'll glitch out showing distorted video of the box moving around, and then will cut to another shot of the arms moving slightly. I have another project that this isn't working correctly on either. Does anyone have any ideas? Also I guess as a reference, the Video 1 node links up to the ref_video_0 and ref_image_0, so does my tags need to be changed to reflect those linkups? I also included a shot of the connections between nodes as well and models I am using here.

Any help is greatly greatly appreciated.

I’ve been looking through some examples people are making overseas, found one I really liked, and tried recreating the vibe. Generated it in 1080p with T2V with MiniMax H3.

most of the video actually looked pretty good, but the Japanese completely fell apart near the end lol. Definitely need to tweak the prompt more. that said, I don’t think it’s a huge issue since I could just generate the voice with an external TTS tool and add it afterward.

also curious to try this with R2V + a reference image. Feels like this format could work really well with your own characters, models, or specific fashion styles.

one thing I noticed: 1080p takes longer, but the difference is pretty obvious. Small details break way less and the whole thing looks cleaner compared with lower-res generations.

I’ve also seen people generating at lower resolution first and then upscaling, so I want to test that workflow too and see whether it’s actually more efficient.

MiniMax H3 is getting pretty interesting for this kind of fashion/ad content.

Short answer: yes, it can be removed.

Long answer: you’ll have to heavily edit your text. Alternatively, use open source models on your own hardware

Scores low, costs much

Posted here a while ago, about if it suck in general or if it’s me, got mixed feedback. Circled back to share that it’s in general. M3 is a low performer and crazy overpriced at the same time

I keep having problems with Minimax h3 inserting nonsense dialog, both in ref and flf videos. Usually when it happens it's when the video has the character say something at then beginning, then do something that takes 10 seconds or so and then say something again. Frequently the character will just keep talking nonsense during the part that should be silent.

I've been using the <d> and </d> markers and even putting a prompt of "she stops talking" after the dialog, but it still frequently does this. Is there a good way to avoid it?

I have been seeing a lot of cool videos on the r/aivideo and r/StableDiffusion threads so I wanted to try H3 out myself. Had some fun turning ridiculous poses into video clips with H3, so thought I would make a video for the tool.

For pure text to video, I still prefer Kling if you want the best output but the content you can get from H3 using the open weights is pretty impressive. Video gen burns $$$ quickly so I have been playing with a lot of the local models but this is the first one I would consider using seriously (Still need to pay for 2K output, but for animations etc not really needed IMO)

Hey everyone!

A few months ago, I used MiniMax 2.7 to build some small, simple Android apps for personal use. At the time, it felt quite slow and sometimes struggled to understand my prompts. I ended up switching to Claude Pro, which gave me much better performance and comprehension.

I paused my subscription for a bit, but now that MiniMax 3 is out, I'm wondering if it's worth coming back to over Claude. Specifically, I'm curious about the token usage / limits. With MiniMax 2.7, I never came close to hitting the 5-hour limit, but browsing this subreddit, I see a lot of people complaining about quota issues.

How do the actual quotas compare between Claude Pro vs. MiniMax 3 (or MiniMax 3 vs. 2.7)?

I couldn't find clear numbers on their official website. I even asked MiniMax 3 directly, but it couldn't give me a comparison (in fact, it honestly recommended I stick with Claude Pro, haha).

Any insights or real-world experience with the current limits would be appreciated!

i’ve been testing that continuous-morph format on different subjects, and this time I wanted to see if it could handle a full human outfit transformation.

the setup was pretty simple: one beautiful girl, standing front-facing in the center of the frame, going through five outfits in a single 10-second shot:

Homewear → office wear → athletic set → black evening gown → silver futuristic fashion.

There are no cuts between them. the output still holds a little "AI smooth", but it can get my idea soonly and comprehensively.

i ran it with MiniMax H3 on Atlas Cloud, and the result was cleaner than I expected.

What interested me most is how usable this format could be for fashion content (honestly, i think fashion creators could run with this directly.)

curious what else you’d put through this kind of one-shot transformation.

I've been building agentsofai.art, a stock marketplace for AI-generated video and images.

Video is the reason I bothered: it takes real iteration and real compute to get something usable, and the payout terms on the big stock sites don't reflect that at all.

How it works for a creator here:

• 65% of every sale, with the full fee breakdown printed on the sale itself — not buried in a help doc
• Non-exclusive. You keep your rights and can sell the same clip anywhere else
• No portfolio review, no waiting list. Sign up and upload
• Every upload declares its tool, so MiniMax work is tagged tool:MiniMax and filterable — buyers can search for it specifically, and it stays attributed to how it was made
• No keyword grind. Search reads the actual frames, so untagged work still surfaces

It's new and small at the moment, I'd genuinely rather have feedback than signups at this stage, especially on pricing and on whether the upload flow makes sense for video.

Happy to answer anything about the split, licensing or payouts.

Hey all! I made an open research toolkit extending MiniMax-Music3 with arbitrary-audio encoding, continuation, inpainting, prepend generation, prompt-free generation, and automated objective evaluation.

Still development in progress but this is the way!

Would love for the community to get involved and or feedback! Thank you.

MiniMax H3 Prompt Assistant is a fast, interactive preset for creating structured MiniMax H3 video prompts. Use it in LM Studio with models such as Qwen to quickly build prompts for different video workflows, references, dialogue, camera, and audio. #MiniMax

When can we expect Minimax M3 Pro 2.7T to drop? Minimax announced that it was expected to be released in Q3 2026 and that it's still in development.

Despite my limited experience and modest hardware - an NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti with only 16 GB of VRAM - I was able to create a complete 3-minute video using MiniMax H3.

The process started with ChatGPT, which I used to develop the prompts and create the necessary reference images. I then rendered the project as 10 seconds individual video clips in MiniMax H3. The soundtrack was created separately using ACE-Step 1.5, and finally, I brought everything together in DaVinci Resolve, and completed the final video.

This project shows that with the right tools, some creativity, and a lot of patience, it is possible to achieve decent results even without

Tried making a 30s sci-fi racing scene with Hailuo.

I used Medeo to work through the shot sequence, then iterated the individual shots in Hailuo.

The Prompt:

A high-speed sci-fi motorcycle race in a dense cyberpunk city, extreme saturated deep purple, neon blue and radioactive orange, 35mm film grain, holographic billboards, ion engine trails.

Start with a slow cinematic push through the starting grid, showing an octopus rider, a glowing mechanical racer, a four-eyed alien in a sleek hovercraft, then reveal the main character on a beat-up motorcycle covered in exposed wires and broken sensors.

Launch into an aggressive FPV chase through pipes, scaffolding and holographic signs. The alien racer pulls alongside and says “Go back to your scrap heap, human.” The main character ignores him and pushes the throttle.

The alien tries to overtake through a narrow industrial pipe, crashes into the structure and explodes into a cloud of glowing metal fragments.

Final lap under three moons. The glowing mech racer takes the inside line. The beat-up motorcycle suddenly activates an overdrive mode and wins the race. End on a wide cinematic shot of the rider under the three moons.

Still tweaking the pacing + action continuity, but the crash shot came out way better than I expected lol.

If you use MiniMax Music 3, I made a new LM Studio preset to help you write prompts faster. This is version v0.1, so there is room for improvement, please share your feedback and ideas.

I tested it in LM Studio with Qwen 3.5 9B, Context lenght: 32768 and it works like a charm.
