MiniMax H3 Camera Control ComfyUI | Orbit, Dolly, Elevation - v1.0 Showcase
MiniMax H3 makes precise camera moves from one image.
Who it's for: creators who want this pipeline in ComfyUI without assembling nodes from scratch. Not for: one-click results with zero tuning - you still choose inputs, prompts, and settings.

Why RunComfy first
- Fewer missing-node surprises - run the graph in a managed environment before you mirror it locally.
- Quick GPU tryout - useful if your local VRAM or install time is the bottleneck.
- Matches the published JSON - the zip follows the same runnable workflow you can open on RunComfy.
When downloading for local ComfyUI makes sense - you want full control over models on disk, batch scripting, or offline runs.
How to use (local ComfyUI)
1. Load inputs (images/video/audio) in the marked loader nodes.
2. Set prompts, resolution, and seeds; start with a short test run.
3. Export from the Save / Write nodes shown in the graph.
Expectations - First run may pull large weights; cloud runs may require a free RunComfy account.
Overview
Turn one image into a controlled video shot. Set azimuth, elevation, distance, and timing. Create smooth orbit, dolly, and lift moves. Keep your subject and scene consistent. The MiniMax H3 workflow builds prompt guidance for you. Control camera paths without reconstructing a 3D scene.

Key nodes in Comfyui MiniMax H3 Camera Control ComfyUI workflow
H3LocalCameraEditor - Natural Language (#127)
Defines the camera trajectory as a compact set of time‑normalized keyframes and compiles it into a MiniMax natural‑language plan. Tune the trajectory by adjusting azimuth for orbit direction and span, elevation for tilt, and distance for push‑in or pull‑back. Use smooth interpolation for beauty moves; switch to linear for mechanical timing. Keep the subject constraints strict if identity and pose must remain unchanged.
MiniMaxH3ImageToVideo (#104)
Consumes the compiled prompt plus your reference frame to create conditioning and an initial latent sequence for denoising. Width, height and length control spatial and temporal canvas; match these to the editor’s fps and your delivery spec. Set a fixed noise seed for reproducible results, or randomize while exploring looks. Leave the optional last_frame detached unless you are experimenting with two‑frame transitions.
LoraLoaderModelOnly (#156) Camera Motion
Loads the MiniMax H3 Camera Motion LoRA that enforces the orbit, dolly and elevation semantics implied by your camera plan. Increase strength_model when the camera move needs more authority over ambiguous prompts; reduce it if you notice artifacts or over‑constraint. Strong camera moves combined with small distances can squeeze composition, so balance strength with framing.
ComfySwitchNode (#122) If/Else Switch (Model)
Toggles between the base model path and a Turbo LoRA path for fast previews. When enabled, the switch pairs the Turbo LoRA with a reduced denoise step count via the companion steps switch, trading some detail for speed. Use this to lock the camera move and framing first, then turn it off for final‑quality renders.
ResolutionSelector (#157)
Provides aspect‑aware sizing that snaps to multiples friendly to the model while honoring a megapixel target. Start low for block‑in animation and bump up for delivery. If you change resolution mid‑project, keep the seed, fps and trajectory the same to preserve the shot’s motion.
