Zero-dollar local MV: Krea 2 for the singer, MiniMax Music 3 and H3 for music and video
kornerson · reddit · 2026-09-07
A Reddit user spent two weeks testing whether a professional-looking music video could be made entirely on a local rig with open-weight models—at zero dollar cost. Stack: singer generated locally with Krea 2, music with MiniMax Music 3 open weights (then remixed for bass and consistency), video with MiniMax H3 open weights. Key findings: using Reference-to-Video instead of static first frames plus lip-sync is what makes it feel professional; local generation is slow but you can queue 20 videos overnight and curate; H3 is the first local video model that feels professional with excellent prompt adherence and stunning character consistency (a freckle stays put across shots).
