What it does
`MiniMax-H3 Drama` is a Codex plugin for video production with native audio, not just a prompt collection. Codex plans the work, creates reusable visual sources of truth (characters, scenes), builds a storyboard and keyframes, routes each shot to the right MiniMax H3 workflow (text to video, frame to video, reference to video, audio only), monitors local ComfyUI and delivers a result with picture, sound, captions and quality control. Ten skills cover the producer, an adviser, style profiles distilled from your references, editing, sound and ComfyUI handling. Every prompt, input hash, workflow, take and output is kept in the project ledger so work can resume. The `h3style`, `privacy` and `canvas` plugins ship alongside.
Who it is for. Video producers and creators of short drama and commercials who have a local ComfyUI with MiniMax H3 models and need a controlled production process.
Good fit when
- A 45-second vertical drama with characters and captions is needed from a script
- A commercial is built from a brief with a consistent product and scene look
- The manner of your own videos is distilled into a profile and new clips follow it
- Production is interrupted and work resumes from the project ledger
Not a fit when
- You have no local ComfyUI or MiniMax H3 models, and the plugin does not download them
- You need footage of real people, since the plugin builds synthetic scenes
- You need a quick single clip with no plan and checks
Example request
Create a 45-second vertical drama from my story, design the characters and scene, build an 8-shot storyboard and show the plan before generation.Limitations
It needs Node.js (the plugin launches the pinned `comfyui-mcp@0.49.3` through `npx`), ComfyUI at `http://localhost:8188` with compatible MiniMax H3 models and nodes, plus FFmpeg and FFprobe. Turbo (a 6-step LoRA) is on by default and is installed separately through ComfyUI-Manager. The plugin checks the environment but does not download models, install nodes or restart ComfyUI itself. A new Codex task is needed after install. A skills-only install does not wire the ComfyUI MCP connection.
How to disable. Run `codex plugin remove` for the installed plugins of the set and remove the MCP setting. Projects and finished videos stay on disk and are removed separately.
FAQ
How do I install it?
Run `codex plugin marketplace add chiphoton/MiniMax-H3-Codex-Drama`, then `codex plugin add minimax-h3-drama@chiphoton`. Start a new Codex task so skills and MCP load.
What should I prepare?
ComfyUI at `http://localhost:8188` with MiniMax H3 models and nodes, Node.js and FFmpeg with FFprobe. The plugin checks the environment but downloads nothing.
How do fast and guided modes differ?
In guided mode the plugin pauses after the plan and the visual sources of truth for approval. `[mode=fast]` records conservative assumptions and continues automatically.
How do I install only the skills?
With `npx skills add chiphoton/MiniMax-H3-Codex-Drama --all -g -a codex -y`. The ComfyUI connection is not wired this way.
What is Turbo?
The default mode: text, frame and reference to video and audio-only generation run on a 6-step LoRA. `[turbo=false]` brings back the original 20-step graphs.
