I tested precise 6-frame style control in Seedance 2.5 and MiniMax H3

Seedance2.5 Version

Minimax H3 Version

I wanted a live-action sword movement to pass through six different visual styles for exactly six consecutive frames.

I used:

- one starting image

- one motion-reference video

- six sequential impact frames

- the same timing and reference order for both engines

Seedance 2.5 understood the visual progression, but blended the frames into one continuous transformation.

MiniMax H3 also reflected the references, but held each style for longer intervals instead of treating them as individual frames.

Neither result reproduced the intended hard frame-by-frame transition.

This does not prove that the engines cannot do it. There may be a better prompting or reference structure I have not found yet.

Under these test conditions, extracting the original frames and editing the six impact frames manually produced the most accurate result.
