MiniMax H3 Max: Reference to Video

Generate video from an image reference using MiniMax H3 Max, which animates your still frame while preserving its composition, visual identity, and aspect ratio. The model generates faster than real time with strong prompt adherence and polished cinematic motion. Ideal for bringing character art to life, animating product shots, and creating video from concept images.

About

This ComfyUI tutorial template shows how to turn a single image into an animated video using MiniMax H3 Max via the MinimaxHailuo03ReferenceNode. The core path is simple: you load a still frame with LoadImage, describe the motion in PrimitiveStringMultiline, and the MinimaxHailuo03ReferenceNode generates a video while preserving the source composition and aspect ratio. SaveVideo writes the final clip to disk, and SaveText can archive the exact prompt and response metadata for reproducibility.
