## Summary
Best-current `MiniMax H3` reference-first generation master for Chris's actual
priority: `reference-to-video` first, not generic `t2v`. This workflow is the
maintained start-of-chain lane: begin from still references, establish the
look, and generate the first connected clips in the safest current local
shape: `480p`, `3 x 10s`, lighter `Ref2VA` stack, and reusable
subject-definition prompts for continuity across the chain.
priority: `reference-to-video` first, not generic `t2v`. This maintained
version now promotes the quality features from the Chris working graph:
second-pass enhancement enabled, `RTXVideoSuperResolution` enabled, and the
non-Heretic `AWQ` text-encoder path.
## Status

## This pass
- Tightened the clip prompts so `<Picture 1>` carries the master scene and `<Picture 2>` carries the primary full-body identity, matching the current Ref2VA prompt hierarchy.
- Kept the `clip_by_clip` validation flow and the `480p` / `3 x 10s` budget intact.
- Promoted the Chris working quality lane into the maintained master.
- Enabled the built-in `2 Pass` path.
- Enabled the built-in `HIGH QUALITY` path so `RTXVideoSuperResolution` runs.
- Swapped away from the Heretic text encoder to the `AWQ` MiniMax encoder path.
- Kept the prompt structure generic and reusable for the single-clip `ref2v` lane.

## Main changes
- keeps `clip_by_clip` validation instead of `full_batch`
- keeps the safer `864x480` working canvas
- keeps `5` steps rather than the source graph's more brittle `4`
- expands the starter plan to `3 x 10s` clips so the default chain matches the
safer continuation cadence already established by the compact local MiniMax
masters
- uses neutral reusable `R2V` prompts instead of a source-specific demo scene
- keeps `context_length=22` and `ref_image_size=match`
- keeps the safer `864x480` working canvas for the main `ref2v` lane
- uses the `AWQ` MiniMax text encoder instead of the Heretic path
- enables the graph's `2 Pass` lane
- enables the graph's `HIGH QUALITY` lane so `RTXVideoSuperResolution` runs
- sets the RTX upscale multiplier to `2x`
- keeps `Sol Attn` enabled in the promoted working graph
- keeps generic reusable prompt text in the single-clip lane
- replaces the old Chris-specific continuation plan with a generic three-shot starter
## Why this is the kept reference-first master
## Current working settings
- Chris's standing preference is `reference-to-video` first, so this workflow
is optimized around `Ref2VA` continuation instead of plain `t2v`
- it is still the cleanest workflow for starting from reference images before
any imported-video continuation takes over
- it inherits the safe local budget lessons from the earlier MiniMax loop and
extender experiments instead of pretending the source defaults are free
- the newer same-day `javawock7618` `INT8 R2V` import is the strongest current
donor for tighter subject retention, so the maintained master now spells out
the scene/subject authority order more explicitly
- this is the cleanest current merge of:
- better continuation workflow UX
- safer `3070 / 8 GB` assumptions
- `R2V`-first control
- main `ref2v` resolution: `864x480`
- source timeline basis: `24 fps`
- main scheduler lane: `simple`
- standard sampler option present: `euler_ancestral`
- high-quality sampler option present: `euler_ancestral_cfg_pp`
- second-pass denoise in the promoted working graph: `0.4`
- starter continuation plan defaults: `10s` clips, `8` plan steps
- RTX upscale: `2x`, `ULTRA`
## When to use this
- use this first when the goal is: keep one or more reference images stable and
extend the action across several connected clips
generate a higher-quality `MiniMax H3` `ref2v` clip with the current quality
passes enabled
- use `optimized/image-to-video/minimax-h3-extension-master/`
instead when the main job is extending an already existing source video
rather than generating a new reference-driven chain
## Notes
- Start with one strong main reference and short clips.
- Validate each clip before moving on.
- Add extra image references only when they solve a real identity or scene
problem, because more references also increase fragility.
- This master is now heavier than the older lightweight `w4a8` / Heretic lane.
- It is the quality-biased `ref2v` path, not the cheapest local-safe path.
- The graph still carries extra continuation machinery from the promoted Chris
working workflow, but the maintained `ref2v` lane is the generic single-clip
starter built around the reusable prompt block and quality passes.
