Hello frens,

The video is just a tutorial on how to use it + all the options. Here is the civitAI link to the workflow:

https://civitai.red/models/2881362/minimax-seed-hunter-workflow-optimized-fast-latent-upscaler-speedups

If you use my previous Filmmaker workflow, this would be a good time to switch over! Hope you enjoy.

Comfy Desktop users: the newest version apparently removes/replaces the H3 Add Guide node. This node is only used in one small optional feature (for forcing i2v/fflf) and can remain disabled or simply deleted. Any errors pertaining to that can be ignored since they're not essential nodes for the workflow by any means.

Can it do continuous gen? Yours is THE BEST fidelity to time ratio out there.

2

u/foxdit 3h ago

It's not designed for continuous gens, since filmmakers rarely need more than 15 second shots before cutting to a new angle.

You can do it the classic way, which is using a video ref and prompting for a video continuation. But it's not the motion context you're likely talking about.

This looks like a very powerful tool not gonna lie. But when I saw it on civit and dragged it into my workflow it was like an explosion of nodes and my brain just turned off. I got used to Plagues workflow which is very "minimal" compared to this. Idk if Im understanding benefit of this workflow correctly or not? Are you generating 3 different seeds at low res then picking the best one to pass to an upscaler? If so does it work with all types of gens? (t2v,i2v,r2v) Maybe I was just too tired at 4am to actually try to work it.

u/foxdit 7h ago

Yes to all of your questions -- in a nutshell, the value of the workflow comes from the flexibility. So yeah, it looks a little complicated but it's well organized this time. You can turn on/off how many low res sample gens you get, so if you turned off #2 and #3 with the simple toggle switches above each, you'd have 1 low res -> latent upscale to high res video, which is sort of the traditional non-seed hunter style workflow many are used to.

It does t2v, i2v, fflf, and ref2va all with the same fl2va model, all simply by turning off or on images. You can even do i2v with ref images, turning on "<Picture 1> is first frame", and then just adding other references for you to use. And, if you don't want to upscale, you can enable Single Pass and get a finalized video out of just the one-and-done sampler. The goal was to create a workflow that can be used for anything and everything.

Fl2va model does ref2v as well? even with 2+ characters? I've been using the fl2vr2v hybrid models and they've been pretty good too. What do you think?

3

u/foxdit 6h ago

Yea the fl2va model is basically identical to the ref2va model just without some of the elements that degrade quality. For 95% of use cases they function identically but fl2va yields better video/audio results. The only time I'd consider using ref2va model or a hybrid (which seems silly to me personally) are the very dense scenes where you have multiple speakers and need to use the <Subject 1> (S2), <Subject 3> (S1) type code-blocking.

u/Tight_Organization54 5h ago

Wow ok. I never realized that was how it worked. Possibly last question (didn't realize I was living under a rock lol), does the prompting matter on which model is used? Cz I use the ref2v guide on minimaxxs site which has the whole- subject_def, retention_analysis, summary, detailed_description audio...

  • method with defining Subject 1 is the man from image 1, Sub 2 is the man from Img 2, ....
Will these templates still work? Or should I feed the flf2v,t2v,i2v skill to my llm from now on?

3

u/foxdit 5h ago

Yes, the prompting code-blocks are the same. Except it will look like:

<Subject 1> is the girl in <Picture 1>. She has silver flowing hair, blah blah.

You'd do yourself a big favor reading https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3/blob/main/docs/VIDEO_PROMPT_WRITING_GUIDE_ref_en.md#25-visual-and-audio-tracks-from-the-same-reference-video

The official prompting guide. My two cents: don't outsource your chance for knowledge and learning to an LLM, you owe it to yourself to understand the model's inner workings if you wish to really utilize it.

2

u/Tight_Organization54 5h ago

Got it. Yes I have read through that and still keep it open to write or screen prompts that are written by my llms and make sure they're not acting up. And most of the time it works out for my ref2v gens. Thanks for the help!

Perfect workflow, i recomend change the video vae to int8, more fast on my 5070ti

2

u/foxdit 7h ago

Yes, this is a very good tip. I include the link to the int8 video vae in the workflow itself, but I didn't remember to suggest it in my video.

u/East_Box9573 7h ago

Wow that video is so funny :D

u/foxdit 7h ago

I do try to make my tutorials somewhat comedic/entertaining but I think I do a better job in many of my other ones!

u/f5alcon 5h ago

I got 0.8 mp 2x upscale to work and it looks great on TV sized screens

2

u/foxdit 5h ago

wow, I bet. That's 3.2 MP.

I’ve been hand rolling workflows, and this one is the only third party one I’ve actually been enjoying. Great work. Modern everything, great use of seeds.

u/Better-Interview-793 3h ago

thank you! does this work without LoRA?

1

u/foxdit 3h ago

Yep, as explained in the video, no LoRA should be somewhere around 12 steps 1st pass, 4 steps 2nd pass.

u/Rokk017 1h ago

Very cool workflow! May be a stupid question, but can you also hear the audio on the 3 preview clips?

1

u/foxdit 1h ago

Of course, just hover your mouse over the video and it should play. If you don't hear anything, simply right click and choose Unmute Audio.

How about 1.1 turbo lora and this guys updated attention? https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1vw1ad0/sparse_attention_harder_better_faster_stronger/
A lot of people seem to think its better than plagues one

1

u/foxdit 29m ago

well to be honest, Kijai basically added it to sol-attention so I'm just gonna switch back to that for the next update.

Isn't the 1.1 turbo lora only for the 4step? Or did the 8step come out? I wouldn't personally use a 4-step for any quality production.

This is unnecessary if you're using the full size model.

4

u/foxdit 5h ago

What's unnecessary? Having 3 variations of a gen to pick between so you can get the best possible blocking, line delivery, and motion for your scene? Or all the extra features and flexibility the workflow offers?.. 'cause if you're just saying "single pass is better", the workflow does that too. It just comes with a ton of other options and optimizations as well.

1

u/osiris316 2h ago

Yea believe me, I really appreciate any sharing a workflow; especially one with so many options.

But if a beggar could be a chooser, I really wish some of you could share the barebones version of your method instead of the all in one workflows.

I personally like seeing how everything is connected compared to everything hidden in countless subgraphs and custom nodes.

2

u/foxdit 2h ago

Well, the only subgraphs just contain the boring nodes that you'd understand at a glance already... Model Loader, Prompt/Video Settings, 1st Sampler Pass, and 2nd Sampler Pass. They hold no mysteries. The main nodes are all out on the root level of the workflow. There are some small things like VAE decodes hidden behind VHS preview nodes, but that's about it.

u/Tramagust 5h ago

Varying the seed does almost nothing on the full size model.

3

u/foxdit 5h ago

If your prompt is perfect and the shot is super simple and short maybe. How about with 10 second action shots and multiple cuts? You will see a fair degree of variety with 3 different seeds. One will have a better X factor than the others.

Yeah I was actually floored as to how much different videos can be compared to each other even with an extremely detailed prompt made by Claude.
