MiniMax Video Upscaler Tip: Skip the 60-120s 'Quality' Prompt Expansion Mode
altryne · x · 2026-09-04
A developer shares a practical tip on MiniMax's video upscaler: the 'quality' prompt expansion mode uses MiniMax's proprietary expansion model and takes over 60-120 seconds, yet their evals show it performs on par with 'balanced' in 99.9% of cases.
Recommendation: stick with the default balanced option for much faster results. Another creator tested it and retracted earlier criticism, calling the output fast and impressive.
