<h1 id="what-this-does">What this does</h1>A 2-stage ComfyUI pipeline that pairs MiniMax H3's ref2va generation (strong subject/identity fidelity from reference images, native synced audio) with LTX-2.5's fast distilled sampler as a refine/upscale pass. Built using quantized (int8) models with dynamic VRAM loading — runs comfortably on lower-VRAM cards (3060 / 4070 / 5060 class), not just high-end GPUs.Stage 1 — MiniMax H3 ref2va: generates your base clip from reference images (face/identity, outfit, environment) with native audio, exactly like MiniMax's own reference workflow.Stage 2 — LTX-2.5 refine: MiniMax's decoded frames are re-encoded into LTX-2.5's own latent space (the two models don't share a latent space, so this bridges through pixel space) and run through LTX's fast distilled sampler for detail/sharpness — either:- Native 2x upscale using LTX's own latent upscaler model, or- Custom target resolution (1920x1080, 1280x720, 1080x1920, or any arbitrary size) via a pixel-space resize before re-encodingMiniMax's original native audio is passed straight through to the final output — LTX's audio path isn't used at all.<h2 id="what's-tunable">What's tunable</h2>- Sigma schedule + video_cfg on the refine pass — trade off sharpness vs. staying faithful to MiniMax's exact output- Resolution mode toggle — native 2x model upscale vs. exact custom resolution- Full prompt/negative-prompt control on the refine pass separately from your MiniMax generation promptNot included in this version (coming later)- RIFE motion pre-interpolation — reduces motion artifacts (ghosting/warping) on fast-action shots by halving the per-frame motion delta the video VAE sees.- ReActor face-lock — locks final output identity to a reference photo, for cases where the base generation is too low-res for the refine pass to reliably hold facial identity on its own.Want early access to the upgraded version with RIFE + ReActor before public release?

MiniMax H3 → LTX-2.5 Fast Refine/Upscale (2-Stage AV Pipeline)

v1.0 — Initial ReleaseCore 2-stage pipeline: MiniMax H3 ref2va → LTX-2.5 refine/upscale.- Sigma + cfg tuned for a balance of sharpness vs. faithfulness (see in-workflow notes)- Resolution mode: native 2x upscale, or set any custom target size- MiniMax's native audio passed straight throughNot in this version: RIFE motion interpolation + ReActor face-lock — coming in a future update (Patreon early access above).---Feedback wantedFirst release, built on my own test footage — if you hit artifacts, identity drift, or errors on load, drop a comment (screenshot the node if it errors). Actively updating based on what people run into.
