Write a story. H3 picks the shots.
Turn a short story into one 5-second clip without writing camera angles.
Shows a cheap LLM keeping prose free of camera jargon, then MiniMax H3 inventing the framing — the same story-mode trick people are testing in ComfyUI.
Saved result
A cream paper fox folds a yellow boat on a rainy windowsill, launches it into a curb puddle, and watches under a leaf umbrella as it drifts past a red bicycle. GLM 5.3 Flash keeps the prose free of shot-list jargon; MiniMax H3 invents the framing. Flaws: the umbrella is a green leaf, and the blue mailbox reads as a blue door/box. Checked frames are SFW.
Make it yours
- Open the graph — save first if the canvas already has your work. Undo brings yours back.
- Rewrite Story with a new short, family-friendly scene (one hero, one clear action). Keep Story-mode rules and the Keep it a story LLM so the model stays SFW and invents its own camera. Change duration on the video node if you want a longer take (cost scales).
- Check the editor estimate, then run with your NanoGPT key. One GLM 5.3 Flash call plus one MiniMax H3 text-to-video call. The saved run was about $0.36 for 5 seconds of H3 (LLM was a fraction of a cent). Longer durations raise the price.
- Watch whether H3 invents sensible cuts for the beats you wrote. Check that the hero and prop stay consistent across the clip. Look for missing story beats (mailbox vs door) and any unrequested props.
