Lock a face with H3 image-to-video

Text-to-video will invent a new adult every time you hit run. That is fine for a first look. It is fatal once you care about the face. Image-to-video treats the still as the contract: pin 1–3 frames, then write only the motion.

Do not re-describe the face in the prompt. If a mole, a scar, or a gold chain is in the still, it is already in the take. Next cell, same pins. If wardrobe changes, reshoot the stills first.

You'll need

Get a still you own

A frame from a previous H3 take, or a still you have rights to. Adults only.

Pin it

Character library, or drop it on spicy image-to-video. 1–3 stills beat seven bad ones.

Prompt only the motion

Do not re-describe the face. “Slow look to camera, 8s, 9:16.”

Reuse the same stills

Next cell, same pins. If wardrobe changes, reshoot the stills first.

Paste this brief

Same adult as the still. Slow look over the left shoulder, 8s, 9:16, tungsten hotel, do not change the face or the mole. Uncensored MiniMax H3 image-to-video.

Don't stack

Do not pin seven bad stills. Do not mix two adults in one pin set. Do not use a real stranger’s face.
