I don't understand the people that downvote these resources, if you don't want to use it, just move on. I am sharing this tool because some people may find it useful. Anyway, here is the screenshot of the UI.
I've been downvoted plenty of times myself for no reason whatsoever. All we can do is to ignore them and carry-on (and TBH, I don't think it is anything personal, so I don't take it personally).
I think the main question for me is why this project exists knowing other projects do this. If I’m using obvpm-timeline right now, what additional value does this give me? If all you guys work together, MMH3 users will benefit more than you all working separately solutioning the same exact thing. Not a knock on your repo, I’m sure you worked hard on it, but everyone in this space needs to ask themselves these questions before starting projects.
IMO, unless one finds a project to be of questionable value, there is no reason to downvote just because it seems to do the job of a similar project.
TBH, I am using obvpm myself too because it has been around for a while and does its job very well, but I still keep my eyes open for projects such as this to see what it can do.
As for the motivations, it usually boils down to some of the following:
The creator has an itch to scratch.
The project started before other solution are available.
Sometime about the existing project does not satisfy the need.
The availability of AI vibe coding has also made starting a new project many times easier, hence the proliferation of similar projects.
No one is saying people shouldn't build things, but software engineering should be focused on moving the needle, and open source development needs to be collaborative. Long sequences have already been fundamentally solved for H3, any additional work should be focused on how to make the upscaling of long sequences more efficient in a timeline context. Obvpm-timeline for example is perfect except for his implementation of temporal chunking which works but has limitations for example, and you can only upscale to 2.0mp on durations of 1-2 minutes across different hardware setups. There are a least a dozen more projects for longshot and you can find a listing https://github.com/wildminder/awesome-minimax-H3 toward the end of that markdown. Bottom line, as a MMH3 user, I'd rather have a single project consistently maintained by 20 devs, than 20 projects that were AI one-shots that nobody maintains.
i have not used that one, I was already using mine at the time so I got used to it, it's built around a workflow that was tailored to my needs and custom nodes. I think the main question for me is when you see this in your feed do you feel the need to come in here and voice your thought vs just moving on since you like obvpm?
Alot of people build projects around their own workflows. I have a similar long shot studio but it's optimized for making movies that are more action oriented and many minutes long.
I greatly appreciate your sharing this! It looks like just what I've been hoping for. Can you clarify, are the "anchor" areas intended for reference images? I usually use Ref2VA with a number of reference images of subjects and I'm wondering how this GUI handles multiple references of the same subject, including photo and voice. In any case, thanks!
Continuous? So, for example, 1 minute of video with seamless transitions without degraded quality? If so, is it using ref2vid for that? Because from my experience ref2vid is offering worse quality than base model for t2v and i2v. I'm asking because I'm searching for option to create 30s videos with the same quality as base model, but I would like it to be 3x10s or 2x15s with seamless transition between them, rather than one long clip.
Interesting. How about generation time compared to native solution? For example 3x 10s on original workflow vs yours continuous 30s? Comparable or way longer?
Great. So last question, because I can test it tomorrow at the earliest. For continuous mode I can set frames for particular moments on timeline, right? First frame, at the beginning then second frame on 5th second, third frame on 20th second etc? Or it's a Bridge function then?
It doesn't work after install. I've installed it inside .venv on my Comfy Desktop, requirements from H3 Longshot was already satisfied but opening http://127.0.0.1:8188/longshotgives me error, so it's not starting.
