Fixing Quality Loss in MiniMax Image-to-Video: 16:9 Aspect Ratio Preserves Face Details
WearNatural5992 · reddit · 2026-08-05
When using MiniMax for image-to-video generation, users often experience a severe drop in quality in the first frame compared to the input reference image, particularly regarding facial details.
Through testing, a developer discovered an effective workaround: setting the aspect ratio of both the input image and the generated video to 16:9. While maintaining the shortest side at 768 pixels, the 16:9 ratio significantly reduces quality loss in faces. However, it's noted that if the camera pulls away or makes significant movements, quality degradation will still occur.
