MiniMax-H3 Multishot — chained shots, one master, with audio — v1.0

Both workflows now read left to right : numbered lanes, and you only ever touch lanes 2-4. Everything below the main row is optional.

What you need

ComfyUI + this node pack (Manager: MiniMax-H3 Multishot , or the zip on this version).

A MiniMax-H3 checkpoint (links on this page). 24 GB card? Take a GGUF.

SEAMLESS CHAIN - multi-shot scenes as one take

Lane by lane:

README - the quick start lives on the canvas itself.

1 - MODELS - pick your H3 checkpoint and text encoder. VAEs are preset; LoRA slots are empty until you fill one.

2 - ANCHORS (optional) - a photo to open shot 1 on (enable its gate), and a short voice clip to lock the speaker's voice.

3 - YOUR PROMPTS - type your idea in the box, or point the switch at a prompt file. The writer expands it into shot prompts. Writing your own? Set the writer to passthrough (raw JSON, skip LLM) and paste shots separated by --- lines.

4 - CONTROLS - size, frames per shot, steps, and take_seconds (total length; 30 is a good first run). The switches stay off unless you installed the pack a switch names.

5 - ENGINE - nothing to change. The remote encoder lives here if you want the text encoder on a second PC: enter its address, flip the encoder switch, free ~15 GB.

6 - OUTPUT - your video and its audio save here.

Optional panels below the main row: reference images (your character, ref2va checkpoints - folder per character + AUTO REFS on), V2V reference (a clip whose look guides the render), FFLF plates (flf_chain mode only), audio spine (a soundtrack the take follows).

EXTEND TAKE - one person talking, as long as you want

Same lanes, different job: one premise becomes ONE continuous speech cut across windows.

1 - MODELS - same as above.

2 - ANCHORS - a photo of your speaker (shot 1 opens on them) and a voice clip. More useful here than anywhere: one person carries the whole take.

3 - YOUR PROMPT - ONE premise, one speaker. The writer writes the whole speech. num_shots 0 = it decides. Passthrough works here too.

4 - CONTROLS - take_seconds is the star: 30 ships, 60 clears TikTok's minute. window stays on auto - it sizes itself to your card.

5 - ENGINE / 6 - OUTPUT - same as above.

Keep takes to about 4 windows for now - very long takes slowly sharpen.

Rules of thumb (both workflows)

Spoken lines: 8-12 words per shot. Short lines sync; long lines garble.

Say the sounds you want ("rain on the roof, a fridge hum") or it invents its own.

Keep your character's face in frame - faces carry identity between shots.

If something breaks

Red node? Update the pack in Manager, restart, reload the workflow from disk.

Render crawls at low wattage? Lower resolution or frames per shot, or use the remote encoder.

Only one of the two workflows shows in your sidebar? Fixed in 2.6.5 - re-download both.

Still stuck: comment with your console log. I answer.

Deep dives: the two articles linked on this page. Every lane also has a short note on the canvas.
