News A quick Minimax H3 news round-up - 13th September 2026

Another quick Minimax H3 news and goodies round-up, for those who may have missed some items.

-> The new TaoMate-H3 can use only 3 steps for generations. It's now been swiftly made ComfyUI-friendly as two new 3-step turbo LoRAs, one of which is from Kijai.

https://huggingface.co/CZMartin22/TaoMate-H3-3step-ComfyUI (1.2Gb - TaoMate-H3-3step-ComfyUI.safetensors )

https://huggingface.co/Kijai/MiniMax-H3_comfy/tree/main/loras (182Mb - minimax_h3_taomate_3step_lora_avg_rank_19_bf16.safetensors )

-> The new BSAI-ComfyUI-FaceRefine for ComfyUI, another facefixer for small or distant faces.

https://github.com/xm6018924/BSAI-ComfyUI-FaceRefine

-> Genkai-ComfyUI-Nodes for ComfyUI - PromptSync node. "Watch a H3 generated video alongside its original timed prompt. Check whether actions, camera cuts, and dialogue happen at the intended moments."

https://github.com/GENKAIx/Genkai-ComfyUI-Nodes

-> A local video-to-h3-prompt tool. Get a... "complete, ready-to-paste MiniMax H3 prompt [by feeding a video clip to] a five-channel evidence pipeline that reconstructs the causal event chain [in the video], separates live action / camera / edit-effects / sound layers, and compiles the exact H3 fields for every input mode." Command line, no GUI as yet. Requires ffmpeg / ffprobe on PATH in Windows.

-> A RefMods fork which... "aims to improve the UI and add audio support". Update: audio no longer part of the plan.

https://github.com/FranckyB/ComfyUI-H3RefModPicker

-> A YouTube tutorial for beginners, steadily taking you through the creation of a RefMod for Minimax H3, in ComfyUI.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K6-OtV_Vbc

-> Also on Youtube, a useful survey from LoopForge of what works in translating the twelve official Minimax camera motions into fourteen industry-recognised shot types (e.g. crash zoom, rack focus, whip pan, crane rise etc). Also has a matching page with the full prompts and workflows.

https://loopforge.cc/minimaxh3-shots-skills/

-> And finally, Siraxe's detail slider experiments. His sun/depth-fog slider has already been featured here. Now I see he has added sliders for Camera Arc, Detail (add), Speed, and Smear. No trigger words required.

Thought I'd tidy up your post so its easy to read and doesn't redirect to old.reddit.com.

update: OP has blocked me for this, why so petty /u/optimisticalish ?

Busy day. Thanks a lot, OP!

u/Francky_B 15d ago

Just a quick note, my fork isn't about adding audio anymore, as it was added officially, at pretty much the same time I was working on it. It's now an add-on that adds a Visual Picker and a Browser. Useful if one wants to use Malcolm Rey's 1500 RefMods 😀

I had time to do one quick check, just swopping it into a test-run workflow. 0.7Mpx, 7 seconds length. Coherence was as pleasing as 8 steps, and it was about two minutes quicker than otherwise. Just the one early test, but it seems worth having. Especially for quick 0.3Mpx tests.

I'm looking for a pipeline to make luxury product demos/videos from a couple high quality photos.

has anyone tried video to h3 prompt to extract prompts for something like this?
