After 400+ generations: a working MiniMax H3 prompt for character replacement video editing
Darqsat · reddit · 2026-08-20
The author spent 6 hours and 400+ generations reverse-engineering MiniMax H3's reference mode for SCAIL-style character replacement, sharing a full working prompt and key findings:
- retentionanalysis is the main driver: trigger words like fullypreserved and attributetransfer determine quality
- The [video editing] keyword in summary enables frame-by-frame editing; [audio reuse] works but audio gets rewritten
- Action descriptions in detaileddescription barely matter; stronger visual anchoring of subjects (hair, clothing, position) stabilizes identity
- Edits fail most when the original character is barely recognizable
Tested with prunedint8 quantization + 4-step turbo LoRA, mostly at 5s duration.
