    Minimax H3 ref2va + fl2va Workflow

    • Simple toggle between ref2va and fl2va

    • Uses stock Minimax H3 sampler settings with Spectrum for a ~30-40% speed boost

      • I have yet to find a single other combination that doesn't have some kind of worse downside - The turbo LoRAs suck.

    • Motion Context video extension using save and load latents

      • How to use in workflow

      • Can lead to gamma shift after extending - may need to manually adjust brightness/contrast

    • FaceRefine for fixing distant garbled faces

      • required custom_nodes that aren't on the ComfyUI Manager included in archive

    • Simple postproduction settings

    • Postproduction looping tools for fl2va using the same first and last frame

      • clip still end or starting frames + audio

      • Smoothen out the loop with rife generated frames using Seamless Loop

    • Generation Preview

    • Batch or single video upscale using GIMM VFI+Tensorrt as toggle below the main workflow

      • throw your videos into any folder inside ComfyUI/input/... and toggle the batch upscale to get everything running

    No workflow will help, if your prompt doesn't follow the guidelines. I recommend looking through the following prompting guides if you have no idea about Minimax H3 prompt and then use other's or my prompts as help to get started.

    I added the full workflows, including prompt and resources I used in the example videos, to the workflow archive.

    Description

    I'll use this as my resource upload for my H3 videos - this is the easiest way to share it. I'll update the file every now and then with the resources of some of my videos on request or whenever I feel like it.

    I have two issues or one, with either comfyui_fearnworksnodes

    or

    MiniMax-H3-NativeAudio-MusicVideo-Workflow

    they appear as missing nodepacks, I hgave them both, try update and\or later versions.

    You don't need to install Fearnworks nodes (I don't have them installed either), I don't know which but one of the nodes says it needs it but it doesn't.

    For the "MiniMax-H3-NativeAudio-MusicVideo" you need to add the folder from the workflow archive inside the custom_nodes folder to your own custom_nodes folder. It's part of the FaceRefine but the author didn't include the nodes since they are part of another git but they are hidden inside another folder inside that git... so I added it to the wf archive to make it easier.

    Thank for the reply! Somehow I managed to make it work. I just have another question, the final video was saved to xxx.safetensor, how can I make it save to video? I'm afraid to mess further things xD

    The workflow saves it as latent under the "output/h3_context" (to use later as MotionContext video extensions) but also as mp4 in the "output/MiniMax_H3/current_date" folder.

    usernew87Sep 29, 2026

    @LastAssignment I know that was strange. I'm not getting the mp4 videos saved. Sorry I'm just too new to minimax. I've checked all the folders and even change the default path. But also noticed despite the model runs I'm getting these errors at the command line:

    @usernew87 It fails running the FaceRefine because it's missing the models, either disable FaceRefine or download the models (face_yolov8m.pt and sam_vit_b_01ec64.pth) using the ComfyUI Manager Model Manager.

    Can you export the current workflow you're trying to run under File -> Export and upload it somewhere so I can see if you disconnected anything else by mistake?

    usernew87Sep 30, 2026

    @LastAssignment I keep getting these errors:

    [INFO] got prompt

    I deleted my old workflow but even loading the default one I can't get the video to be saved, but I see the preview.

    here's the failing workflow.

    @usernew87 It's still related to the FaceRefine not working, I honestly have no idea at this point. Does it work when you disable FaceRefine in the subgraph? What ComfyUI version are you running?

    usernew87Sep 30, 2026

    @LastAssignment Yes, I try disabling the FaceRefine and everything else. I always get errors at 'Conditioning + EMPTY AV latent', 'DENOISE - the key dial' and 'Guider'. The workflow worked perfectly fine, the preview show nice generations just that strange bug that didn't save the video. I messed a few nodes and managed to make it to generate and save the video. I'm not sure but it indeed seems a FaceRefine and maybe H3 Per-Frame Denoise bug. I removed also the preview , Idid a mess on the nodes xD

    I made it work. I deleted all custom nodes and re-installed just the one needed for the workflow again, maybe there was a conflict or something. Thanks a lot for the help and your time, works like a charm now!
