Semi-transparent Canny trick reduces reference bleeding in Ref2V MM-H3 video generation

Vortexneonlight · reddit · 2026-11-02

A user shares a technique for controlling reference-image "bleeding" in Ref2V MM-H3 video generation: raw pose references tend to leak their environment, clothing, and colors into the video, while pure Canny edges cause H3 to ignore or hallucinate elements on complex poses.

The fix: overlay the original reference at low opacity — a semi-transparent Canny — so the model both reads it as edge structure and understands the elements inside. Benefits: less bleeding, more output variety when changing the prompt, and better handling of complex/unusual poses H3 doesn't know.

The post includes a full working recipe: 6 steps, the Dmad-Larry dareties mix LoRA, MP 0.7, and a complete prompt structured as [Visual Style] / [Asset Mapping] / [Chronological Actions] with multiple reference images and per-shot action timing.
