It has a LOT of fine tune controls available now. This is NOT a plug-and-play one click setup, requires some tinkering to achieve what you want. MiniMax H3 produces stunning six-second clips, but building longer sequences is notoriously messy—character faces drift, lighting shifts, and audio restarts on every generation. Hand Tie Clips runs your entire sequence in a single queue: it passes final frames forward and locks character consistency from start to finish. Key Features <ul><li>🎙️ Continuous Voiceover: Drop in a single audio file. Every shot automatically lip-syncs to its own slice without audio resets, seam cuts, or manual re-timing.</li><li>🧍 Persistent Character Consistency: Feed it one reference photo. The node carries the identity through every shot, preventing face drift across the chain.</li><li>🎬 Beat-Based Directing: Write simple one-line actions per shot ("She turns to the window," "He walks to the counter"). The node handles prompt generation, camera movements, and cut transitions.</li><li>🔄 SWAP Mode: Combine motion from a video with identity from a photo—the source clip drives movement and scene context, while your reference photo drives the person.</li><li>✍️ Built-in Scripting (WRITE Tab): Connect a local LLM to automatically draft multi-shot sequences directly from a short concept paragraph.</li></ul>Quick Start <ol><li>Drop the <code>ComfyUI-Hand-Tie-Clips</code> folder into your <code>custom_nodes/</code> directory and restart ComfyUI.</li><li>Load the included starter workflow.</li><li>Add a character photo to the REFERENCES tab, write 3 shots, and hit queue.</li></ol>Includes starter and showcase workflows out of the box, with detailed tooltips for every setting.
