MiniMax H3's 17k+5 frame restriction tested: non-standard phases show no major artifacts

hold_my_fish · reddit · 2026-09-09

A Redditor training a MiniMax H3 video LoRA questioned whether the 17k+5 frame-count restriction really matters. With AI help, he modified the code to generate at non-standard phases (17k+0, 17k+1, 17k+9, 17k+13) and observed no severe artifacts—only possible intermittent issues with dialogue timing and the ending frame that need rigorous testing to distinguish from noise.

He also notes that still-image training approaches using 1-frame videos fall into the 17k+1 case, and is soliciting feedback from anyone who has trained off the standard phase.
