A user turned a nightmare from 2024—which GPT-4o had written into a short story they kept—into a 72-second short: this week they split the story into scenes, generated them with MiniMax H3 on Atlas Cloud, and edited the clips to keep that broken, jumpy dream feel.
Cost: 100 seconds of generated video at H3's listed $0.038/second came to about $3.80. The author also notes GPT-4o was still a much better fiction writer than Astra. The last 15 seconds of the video show the original GPT-4o chat screenshots.
