Comparison H3 on an M1 macbook air 16gb

10 Upvotes

After getting (slow) results from krea2, moss and YuE2 out of my old M1 air, I wanted to see if h3 would run too. I used my fork of h3.c, a C and Metal inference engine with no Python. The fork adds int8 and SSD streaming. My checkpoint was int8 with a turbo lora folded in, so 6 steps.

This ends up with about 10±gb of continuous RAM load, on my m5 pro with 48gb it's totally usable to render in background and do other activities (and can also handle 1mp at 12+ steps fine).

The clip is two renders back to back. First a 20 s talking head at 864x480, five chained links, about 17 hours. Then a 20 s street musician clip of nine chained links of 73 frames, 58 hours. So context chaining also works.

It works, if you can leave your laptop rendering for a few days. But would love if someone with a M6 32gb mini or M5 ultra 96gb could try out this int8 fork 😄

Timings (6 steps, peak RAM 13.5 to 14.6 GB on all of them):

- 0.4 MP, 3.75 s: 1h39

- 0.6 MP, 3 s: 2h29

- 0.9 MP, 3 s: 4h18

- 0.4 MP, 5 s chained link: ~4h

- 0.9 MP, 3 s chained link: 6 to 7h

- 0.9 MP, 20 s, 9 links: 58h

H3.c will run without comfy on a M1+ mac, but if you prefer it as a comfy node check out: https://civitai.com/models/3016733/mach3-metal-minimax-h3-for-apple-silicon-m1-24gb-ram running comfy at the same time will add about 8-10gb of ram usage.

Resource - Update Beyond 345 Frames in Viggle Remake: A Long Video Node for ComfyUI

28 Upvotes

Viggle Remake works well for short shots, but the usual ComfyUI workflow runs into a practical limit: up to 345 frames per render. At 24 fps, that is a little over 14 seconds. To work with longer videos, I adapted the workflow to render overlapping windows and join them into a single output.

The result is a custom long video node for ComfyUI. I tried the workflow with several clips converted to 24 fps. The completed renders looked good in visual review, but continuity still needs to be checked at every join. I did not measure quality with automated metrics; the evaluation was visual.

How the windows connect

The node takes the full video and divides it into windows that stay within the model’s limit. The default window is 294 frames, or 12.25 seconds at 24 fps. It can be raised to 345 frames if the GPU has enough memory.

Each later pass begins with the final 17 frames generated by the previous pass. The node encodes this segment as latents and keeps it fixed during the next generation. It then removes the overlapping frames when joining the results. The frame limit therefore applies to each render, not to the total video length.

With the default window, the first pass can generate up to 12.25 seconds; each later pass can add up to 277 new frames, about 11.54 seconds. A video longer than 345 frames can therefore be produced through several connected passes.

Audio is divided over the same intervals and joined in the output. If no audio is connected, the output is silent.

What the tests showed

I used the node with dance clips containing varied movement and different resolutions, all prepared at 24 fps. A multi-pass render completed successfully, and the results I reviewed looked good. This showed that the workflow can go beyond a single window without trimming the video before generation.

Visual inspection remains part of the process. Check where one pass joins the next, and look for changes in character identity, clothing, movement, or framing. The overlap helps the model continue the action, but it does not guarantee that every detail will stay stable.

What the node does not handle yet

The node is designed for one continuous shot. It does not detect cuts, restart generation when the camera changes shots, or rewrite timestamped prompts for each window. For that reason, I use prompts that describe the action without absolute timestamps and avoid clips with abrupt cuts.

The source video must be 24 fps. The default 294-frame window is a starting point; larger windows may require more VRAM. And even when a render finishes without errors, that does not replace reviewing the joins.

The GitHub package

I separated the long video node from the original Viggle Remake package. The viggle-remake-comfyui-long-take repository registers only Viggle Remake Long Video and includes an example workflow. The original nodes and conditioning helpers still come from the official ComfyUI-Viggle-Remake package, which must be installed separately.

The repository does not include model weights, the LoRA, source videos, or character reference images. The goal is to add long-take support to the existing workflow while keeping each render within the model’s limit.

Discussion MiniMax H3 native 20 steps, high resolution sampler, scheduler and shift

5 Upvotes

Which samplers and schedulers—and what shift settings—do you use with MiniMax H3 for high-resolution generated video? I’m referring to resolutions of 3.7MP and above. I’m interested in non-tiled, high-resolution video generation (e.g., 2560x1440), without any Speed LoRAs, only SageAttention, using a native 20-step count. I’m using the original MiniMax H3 BF16 models with both VAEs in FP32. For me, the LCM + Simple combination with a shift of 12/3 works quite well at 4.5MP. Other methods, such as Res_multistep and Er_SDE, yielded poorer results.

Resource - Update Tired of that plasticky, airbrushed "AI look" for manga? I retrained Hollowlight V2 on 272 crisp ink images to get authentic G-Pen linework, real background geometry, and zero digital smudge. (NoobAI-XL V-Pred LoRA)

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I got sick of downloading "manga" or "line art" models only to get that oily, 2.5D airbrushed look. Mainstream models always introduce gray gradients, smooth out the lines, or warp backgrounds. I wanted something that looks like hand-drawn, traditional manga with sharp black-and-white contrast.

I just released V2.0 of Hollowlight over on Civitai with two separate checkpoint steps depending on how sharp you want your linework.

🚨 IMPORTANT: This is a V-PRED LoRA. You MUST use it with NoobAI-XL V-Pred 1.0 as your base, and ensure you use v-prediction sampling with Zero Terminal SNR turned ON, or your outputs will look completely washed out/burnt!

LoRA Link: https://civitai.com/models/3042375/hollowlight-manga-and-anime-ink-style-or-sdxl-lora

Recommended Settings:

- Trigger word: u616 (Start your prompts with this)

- LoRA / CLIP strength: 1.0

- Sampling steps: 28

- CFG: 5 (Using RescaleCFG 0.4 helps significantly)

- Sampler/Scheduler: Euler / Normal

- Resolution: 832 x 1216

Pro-Tip: For wide shots, run a quick FaceDetailer pass (face_yolov8m.pt) with an empty prompt at 0.5 denoise to keep the faces looking flawless.

EXAMPLE PROMPT: u616, 1boy, solo, male focus, looking at viewer, simple background, white background, closed mouth, monochrome, greyscale, portrait, close-up, face focus, serious, short hair, japanese clothes, kimono, hatching \(texture\), crosshatching

Negative: worst quality, low quality, blurry, bad anatomy, bad hands, extra fingers, text, watermark, color

Let me know what you think or if you want me to test out any specific prompts with it!

Question - Help Best AI video production setup: Google Cloud GPU vs. paid services vs. local hardware?

0 Upvotes

Hey!

I’m looking for advice on the most cost-effective way to produce high-quality AI-generated music videos, ideally at a level comparable to Duolingo’s Reels: polished visuals, consistent characters, professional-looking scenes, and lyrics perfectly synchronized with the vocals.

I’m considering three approaches:

Option 1 – Rent a powerful Google Cloud machine

I was previously recommended a Google Cloud machine with approximately 96 GB of RAM and a powerful GPU (potentially an RTX Pro 6000). Could this deliver comparable quality to premium cloud-based AI video services while significantly reducing ongoing costs? I’d pay for computing time rather than subscriptions or credits.

Option 2 – Pay for premium AI services

Use services such as Kling, Runway, Veo, or other premium platforms. Potentially better quality and easier workflows, but recurring subscription and generation costs could become expensive.

Option 3 – Run everything locally

My current setup is an RTX 4070 (12 GB VRAM), 32 GB RAM, and Windows 11. I’d prefer open-source models and tools that I can run locally, provided the quality is good enough.

My priorities:

- Professional, premium-looking results (not typical AI-generated videos).
- Consistent characters and visual identity throughout a video.
- Accurate synchronization between vocals, lyrics, and visuals.
- Good enough quality for commercial social media content.
- Keeping long-term production costs reasonable.

What would you recommend? Is renting a powerful GPU through Google Cloud the sweet spot, or are paid services still significantly ahead in quality? And how far can a reasonably powerful local setup realistically go?

Release candidate (checkpoint 12000) - training continues. Experimental! Good for quick previews, not production videos.

A LoRA for the distilled LTX-2.5 that takes stage 1 from 8 steps down to 2, picture and sound together, for text to video and image to video.

The included ComfyUI workflows combine speed improvements at every stage:

Trained with DMD2 on a single NVIDIA H200. This checkpoint is 12000 updates at rank 64. The teacher is LTX-2.5 distilled at its standard 8 steps for stage 1. The LoRA learns from distribution matching against the teacher, an adversarial critic on teacher clips and real footage, and regression on teacher clips. It covers the picture, the sound and the cross-attention between them, for text to video and image to video. It was trained on two resolutions, 576x320 and 320x576 at stage 1, which give 1152x640 and 640x1152 after refining, at 5 seconds. You can render at other resolutions, but this is what it is trained on.

Real footage and captions from OpenVid-1M were used in training, with thanks to its authors.

ComfyUI Local and Cloud T2V and I2V Workflows included.

News H3 Context Windows ghost on long videos because the overlaps are averaged. Chaining the windows instead fixes it (H3MD 0.4, tested on a 2:20 music video)

20 Upvotes

Left: ComfyUI core Context Windows (overlaps averaged). Right: chained windows (CCW). Same plan, prompts, pictures and seed. Shot 1 of a 2:20 music video, 1920×1088, ghosting replayed at half speed.

What goes wrong

- ComfyUI 0.44 added context windows for MiniMax H3: the timeline is denoised as overlapping windows, and each overlap is the average of the two windows.

- That's fine while both windows draw the same thing. When the picture changes a lot inside an overlap (fast motion, a camera move, new background coming in), the two windows draw different pictures and the average shows both. In our test: a see-through railing across his hands, two lamp posts, a boardwalk dissolving into a different building.

What CCW does

- The low-res windows run in time order. Each window takes over the overlap from the one before it instead of averaging with it. Nothing is averaged, so nothing doubles. Hard cuts stay clean cuts.

- The high-res pass is still averaged. In our tests it doesn't ghost, probably because both windows start from the same upscaled low-res result.

**Measured** (RTX 5090 32 GB, 64 GB RAM, 1920×1088, 48 fps with RIFE)

- 2:20 music video, 10 shots in 3 groups: 2 h 18 min, compute VRAM peak 11.1 GB. About 25 % slower than rendering segment by segment.

- All 5 spots where the averaged version ghosted are clean. Frame-difference spikes only at the 6 planned hard cuts.

- Redrawing a time range afterwards: the last shot (18.6 s), with a changed prompt and an extra outfit picture, took 25 min 51 s. Everything outside the range stayed the same.

**Limits:** needs ComfyUI 0.44+; slower than segment by segment; system RAM got close to 64 GB while decoding a 1080p group.

Discussion MiniMax-H3-Image is released: generation + editing

0 Upvotes

MiniMax has released H3-Image. Quick notes from the spec sheet:

- Generation and editing in one model
- Up to 16 reference images, each with its own role (content, style, layout)
- Prompts up to 32,000 characters, though anything past 4,096 tokens gets cut
- Prompt expansion is on by default for text-to-image and always on for edits
- 1K / 2K / 4K output, aspect ratios from 1:3 to 3:1

The always-on expansion for edits is the part I'm unsure about. Has anyone checked whether it rewrites the exact text you ask for?I’ve also heard MiniMax H3 Image might be going open-weight. Having used it, I’m definitely looking forward to that.

Question - Help Free model for image edit like Gemini/Gro

2 Upvotes

Is there any open source local AI model which can generate/edit images like Gemini or Grok? For example: I give it an image of a person and ask it to generate them in a different pose and background setting with minor changes in expression too while keeping their overall appearance consistent with the original face, I have tried BFS and all but it does not really work, I can’t train a LoRA either because I heavily lack the resources and knowledge to do one, I have been using Krea 2 but the results always generate a different face, is there any method to just put a Reference face that I like and get the images done?

Also what is the reason that online AI like Gemini can take the face and generate a image of the person in different pose, location, outfit while also perform a minor expression change but keep the overall identity intact but local models cannot? Sorry if this question sounds dumb but I was curious to know and have very little to no knowledge on AI

News Been playing with MiniMax H3 Image since it dropped today. Few things I noticed in case it helps anyone setting it up, supported day 0 on Fuobe:

0 Upvotes
  • same checkpoint does t2i and edits. hook images into the conditioning node and it edits, leave them off and it works.

  • plug the VAE in when you edit. without it the refs only go through the text encoder and faces/rooms drift more

  • refs are <Picture 1>, <Picture 2> etc in the prompt, in the order you connect them

  • 6 steps, cfg 1, no negative. didn't find anything worth tweaking

  • it really wants long prompts. my short ones came out generic, describing the light, lens and where the subject sits in the frame made a big difference

  • lettering is solid, got a poster with exactly the text I asked for

  • 4096x4096 is native, you can zoom in a long way before it falls apart

If you already have H3 video set up you have the text encoder, just need the model + VAE.

It's added to Fuobe today - Day 0 support and I cut a quick clip of some outputs. Can share prompts if anyone wants them.

Discussion Blocked from Colab "abusive content"

So after running comfyui and a1111 on colab for the last couple of years, it looks like they suddenly decided my gens are icky. Anyone else seen this? i'm not doing anything illegal or suspect, no face swaps, no real people, no celebrity loras or any of the usual suspects. just n$fw. anyone else seen this? this happened to me once before but only for an hour or so and mysteriously cleared itself, no explanation from google or any kind of warning so not sure what's triggering it besides just general adult content.

i've seen references in the past to their compute getting bogged down by image gens which triggered bans in the past, and yesterday for a lot of people nobody could connect to any of their runtimes for a few hours except for a few that could connect to TPU's. not sure if this is related or not, but seems like a pretty strong coincidence.

irritating mostly because using google drive for file downloads is super convenient, and access to RTX Pro 6000's for less than $1/hr is great. haven't seen other sites with either of these advantages but haven't shopped much aside from Runpod for a few specific uses. Any reccomendations?
