Small video clipping tool for trimming/compressing clips for MiniMax H3 Ref2V

Small video trimmer software was very popular 15-20 years ago but now it has become very rare to find a good one which has all the features I wanted.

I got Claude to vibe code me a tool that I have been using to snip bits off from long videos for using it as Ref2V input for MiniMax H3. People have been saying its good so just sharing if others may find this tool useful! I wanted to create a free tool that runs locally without all the bloatware.

It is a single ~100kb HTML file which can:

  • Trim clips
  • Crop video
  • Compress resolution and fps
  • Take 1 single frame image
  • Manual or Automatic Storyboarding (still playing around with how to best use this in H3)
  • Export gif.

Why Compress?

I find that when working with R2V, resizing and compressing the video increases the speed as there is less information that needs to be worked on. You do lose some quality in your output though so don't compress too far.

The latest version can be found here (select the HTML and download):

or click for current version (v2.9)

https://huggingface.co/PoopMan333/Video_Tools/blob/main/Nugget%20Video%20Trimmer%20v2.9.html

If you're concerned please run it through antivirus or get a LLM to check if it is safe.

I still need to add AVI support and support for some older formats, but I also don't want to add too much bloat to something so compact.

Using H3 as a Character Reference Sheet Generator

Like some of ya'll I have been having fun using the H3 model to mess around with so I have been experimenting with using H3 model to be a consistent character generator which leverages multi image reference (up to 9), so I made a workflow which you can use 'less than ideal' images from google to build a consistent character and output a 360 character sheet to use as a reference sheet for future H3 generations.

The goal is to achieve high character consistency across future generations. I have tried my best to keep the workflow simple without too many custom nodes.

How it works:

  • You input your images and describe them in the Input text section (A Prompt)
  • The text is combined with a fixed prompt which spins the character (B Prompt)
  • The video is generated at a slow speed with no hard cuts (only camera spin and pan) to maintain character consistency
  • Image is assembled with optional character video and full individual frame output (if you want to use for future)

I have included a 6 panel WF and a 4 panel WF. The 4 panel works faster by generating 40% less frames.

Current Caveats:

  • The model is quite slooooow. You are also generating 124 frames only to use 6. I have partly solved this by also uploading a 4 panel version.
  • Speed ups (like Turbo LORAs) help with speed, but it hurts prompt adherence and quality slightly.
  • Quality is limited, since it is a video model it is better at generating video than images. You can solve this by generating at a higher resolution at the tradeoff of longer gen times. You can also use the individually split frames as future references too.
  • Details when using this character sheet as output for future generations on H3 may also be limited due to resolution also, I recommend you use this character sheet (for consistency) + other images close up angles (i.e clothing details/face) if doing close ups. If you are just doing a one off video you may possibly be better off not using this character sheet.

I have also included a modified B prompt to do Anime2Real since someone asked for it. Working on tidying it up a bit more.

Link to the 4 and 6 panel workflow can be found here: https://huggingface.co/PoopMan333/H3_Character_Sheet_Generator

Some notes I just remembered:

  • You can increase the steps and it may improve your quality slightly.
  • With the Turbo Loras enabled, prompt adherence sometimes suffers, but you may be able to get a good seed with another roll of the dice.
  • Currently the B prompt specifies a "neutral A pose", please remove this if you want your character in a particular pose.
  • You can use a few different shots of the same character to reinforce the 360 and get more accurate details right.
  • Can be used for objects / props also, may require some changes to the B prompt.

How do I get my user filament profile to go to CFS?

From another post, people have said that you can custom set the filament profiles which I can set in the top right for the 4 colors, however when I go to the CFS settings these parameters are not carried over.

If you go through the brands and filaments you can't even select any of the user presets. I am also not able to overwrite any of the system presets. Is there any way to fix this?? Can I edit the system files?

Looking for more elegant ideas for PTFE routing.

Hello All, I am just interest in seeing if anyone has any creative ideas for how I may be able to route my PTFE tubes into the extruder head.

I have a Creality K1 Max with a CFS-C unit. I also have a 3d printed riser so I can put the original glass top on to keep some of the warmth in as it is currently winter in the southern hemisphere.

I have the tube situation working, but it is not elegant. The tube currently moves in and out of the riser as the head moves, the CFS-C unit also extends the tube side ways as it pulls filament out of the CFS-C cutter unit. The connector is in the middle to allow me to switch between spool feeding and CFS feeding but I plan on replacing this with a Y splitter soon.

Does anyone have any pictures of how they have their tube setup, I might look to redesign a riser so I would want it to look somewhat nicer. Thanks
