Create Cinematic AI Video with Minimax

In this tutorial, I will show you how to get the maximum cinematic quality from your AI Videos using Minimax. Minimax is a new AI Video Generator that is impressing everyone with its realistic motion and physics of the generations it regularly creates.

What features I would like to see in Minimax: 1) twice longer clips 2) clip extending 3) character reference/location reference 4) act one copy 5) camera control 6) and yea, overall improvement of the model. Go Minimax!

Minimax gives you everything from slow motion to epic action. The only vid generator to do that right now

Also, I've noticed that in Minimax, if you have something like a photo of a lake (i posted a mock Lochness monster sighting on my X profile as well as a Jaeger mech rising out of the lake from a couple photos I took) and added in my prompt for the water to "interact with the body" as it rises out of the lake. It was amazing how well it responded to that prompt. Also, if you take photos during the golden hour (just before sunrise or right after sunrise) you can get some really nice cinematic looking shots and your subject will tend to be lit correctly to match the lighting of the original image.

Yeah, MiniMax has been the best for me - just praying they introduce advanced features soon.

Fully agree, I used Minimax and some Runways Act One for the short animated Children’s music 🎶 video I made and posted yesterday. Normally I would use image to video but I just used text to video for the animation. It was still pretty consistent as the prompts helped facilitate that.

[legacylee]

I'm hoping they will adopt the char ref feature built into VIdu. Vidu's reference to video feature is awesome for creating character or object consistency. However, the quality isn't quite up to snuff and doesn't quite keep up with the Minimax's and Kling's of the world. I did speak with the devs there and there is some exciting news about their platform that I can't discuss, let's just say they're going to raise the bar for features and functionality with a higher quality model. I want to see who will be able to allow for multi char ref or multi char trained model so we can prompt more than one consistent character which would speed up the process and give us more control of scenes without having to stitch things together. I'm super excited to see what's coming around the corner.

Finally y'all say MINIMAX is number 1 and better than runway because it is true

It's worth adding the phrase "not talking" to Minimax prompts.

For the image to video animation i've been doing (which is not realistic imagery) I found Luma has been giving me the best results. Camera control options are good and strangely it seems to be better when you don't prompt it sometimes. It seems to understand the details of the image and interpret it properly. Often it is confused by the prompt. Comparing the same image animation in Luma vs Minimax the Luma outputs are much better. Luma's extend feature is super useful and creative also.

That's a good one. Congrats refuge

I love AI and Curious Refuge. I'm crazy about doing one of your courses, I hope I can save a little cash and be able to do it in the future because you are fucking incredible, congratulations!

[adarwinterdror]

Refuge, got a question - why did you upscale the videos seperately? Wouldnt it be better to first edit the full video, and then just toss the final video into Topaz and just upscale 1 video instead of the source materials?

Why would i have many heavy files which i might not use all of them, or just use tiny portions of each clip, and waste space and time upscaling them all, instead of finishing the project, and then upscaling the final thing?

Minimax 정말 현실적인 결과물이네요. 다른것들은 자주 슬로우모션만 만드는데. 비교 영상 만들어 주셔서 너무 감사합니다:)

[FilmSpook]

👍🏾👍🏾YES, thanks!!! MiniMax is my go-to for A.I. filmmaking at this time. I recently left Runway, as it's animation capabilities are far behind MiniMax, if we're being honest. Runway's recent updates are cool, but they still are not focusing mostly on what matters the most with A.I. filmmaking, which is proving excellent capabilities for animating humans in real-time speed (not that slo-mo BS that Runway's A.I. often forces, by default). 😅

[ALPHAGENXCORP]

hold on. Based on all stats it used to be: Runway, Kling 1.5, Minimax, Luma. How come it jumped to spot 1 ?

[MeltedCinema]

Also, I noticed Kaiber has a Minimax API. Is it using the same video render model as Hailuo?

[Mooooty]

It would be extremely helpful if you could share the "prompts" used for each of the image that you created using Minimax, thanks.

это просто самая лучшая нейронка из всех какие попробовал. уже роликов 400 наделал)

I do appreciate the effort you put into your research and your ability to coalesce it all into digestible and useful segments/ posts. As someone who has been in the business for close to as long as you have been alive, I just wanted to share this unsolicited constructive criticism. There’s no need to have your face in the entire video. I do like knowing who’s talking though so it’s good to cut back and forth between the reference footage and your talking head. I get that you’re good looking, and well coiffed with a great fashion sense…and I give it up to you for all of those blessings, truly. In fact, that may just be my issue. You’re so good looking that it can be a bit distracting from the mission of the post. You’re welcome to delete this comment after reading. Thanks and keep up the good work.

But Minimax doesn't have lipsync yet? How do you make characters talk?
