Create a new five-second character shot using the supplied adult casting picture as an identity reference. Keep his face, dark tailored clothes and composed expression. In a warm formal interior, he looks toward the camera and makes one restrained gesture. The selected film is inspiration for a new shot.

About

Use references when the subject or treatment should guide a new scene without fixing its opening frame. MiniMax H3 Max reference to video supports up to nine images and uses Standard; Turbo does not support this operation. Explain what each image contributes, then write one main action, camera behavior and relevant sounds. Choose 5–15 seconds and output through 1080p. Inspect how the scene used the references, including recognizable features, proportions and lettering, before using the clip.

Questions

Can I use reference-to-video on Turbo?

No. This operation uses Standard. Turbo supports text-to-video, image-to-video and first/last-frame inputs, so choose the operation before deciding on a tier.

How many image references are supported?

The model supports up to nine references. Identify the useful subject, setting or treatment in each one and leave out images that do not serve the scene.

Does a reference become the start frame?

References guide the scene. Use MiniMax H3 Max Image to Video when one picture must supply the opening, or First & Last Frame when both endpoints are required.

Which duration, resolution and sound settings apply?

Choose 5–15 seconds and 480p, 720p or 1080p. Generated audio is always included. Describe the sound and plan editing if the final use needs silence.

How should I judge the reference-led result?

Compare faces, costumes, product shapes and materials with the reference throughout the clip. Review action and sound against the brief too; input support alone does not establish exact preservation.
