Style Transfer — MiniMax-H3

Restyles an entire video while keeping its motion, framing and timing intact. The source video enters as an aligned guide, so every frame of the output corresponds to the same frame of the input — only the look changes. Trigger: style_transfer:

Most video restyling is driven by words: you name a style and hope the model knows it. That breaks down for anything specific — a particular illustrator, a look you found on a moodboard, the palette of one film. This LoRA takes the style from an image instead, so what you can restyle to is whatever you can show it.

The instruction deliberately never names the style. It points at the reference and describes only what a painter would copy: linework, brushwork, palette, shading, texture, finish. Naming the artist would let the model solve the task from text alone and ignore the image entirely.

There are two ways to use it.

The first, and the main one, is with a style reference image. The reference goes in as an image reference, which H3 labels <Picture 1>. Refer to it by that tag and describe the look in three to five attributes:

style_transfer: Re-render this video with the style of <Picture 1>: bold graphic style, vibrant colours, clean lines, flat shading, halftone pattern.

Or drop the attributes when you want the image to do all the work:

style_transfer: Transfer the visual style of <Picture 1> onto this video.

The second is text only, with no reference image, for styles the base model already knows:

style_transfer: Make it cinematic style.

style_transfer: Change this video to studio ghibli style.

style_transfer: Transform it into art deco.

Do not mix the two. A style name and <Picture 1> in the same sentence makes the model follow the text and ignore the image.

Works at any H3-valid frame count (17n+5: 73, 107, 141, and so on). Rank 64.

One limitation worth knowing: a reference showing a person or character can bleed identity into the result, because the base model's prior treats an image reference as a subject to insert. Describing the style attributes in the prompt pushes against this, and a reference with no prominent figure avoids it entirely.
