I have produced a new experiment video. This video consists of 13 separate 5-second 1088p videos. The production time (for each video) averaged 35 minutes on my system. Without Spectrum installed, this time averaged 1 hour and 5 minutes (for each video). I look forward to your results and feedback. You can watch the produced video from the link.

Continuum Update (v2026‑10‑14)
Continuum now supports two ways to build longer videos: Single Prompt: Repeat one prompt across the selected number of sections. Per Section: Write a separate prompt for each section. What’s improved Fixed an issue that could regenerate earlier sections when extending a video. Added shared character and setting text for every new section. Added Balanced (22 frames) and experimental Strong (39 frames) transition context. Continuations preserve the original seed, model settings, shared context and transition preset. The interface now shows existing duration + added duration = total duration. Val
Spectrum acceleration is now available in H3 Studio!
Enable it under Settings → Video engine → Spectrum. It’s optional, experimental, and requires no additional LoRA. In our matched 608p test, total render time dropped from 26:15 to 16:06 — 38.65% less time. Recent 1088p clips rendered in around 35 minutes. Compared with my previously observed roughly one-hour renders, that suggests about 42% less time, although this 1088p comparison is approximate. My system: RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB, Ryzen 5 5600X, 32 GB RAM, Windows. Results vary by workload. Spectrum can affect motion and speech, so test a short clip first. H3 Studio now offers three video engines:

MiniMax H3 Studio — Git Issues Update (v2026‑09‑19) Continue Video now preserves the source video’s aspect ratio. Continuing a vertical 9:16 video will no longer incorrectly produce a 16:9 result. Post-pass controls were added to the Director panel. You can now select 1.5× upscale, and the setting is correctly passed to Director queue jobs. Added a Cancel queue button to the production list. It cancels the running job and all pending queued jobs in one action. Added Duplicate, Disable, and Enable controls for Cinema Studio scenes. Disabled scenes remain saved. They are skipped by both regular
MiniMax H3 Studio — Big update
H3 Studio is no longer just a one-clip box. Director → Cinema Studio is a short-film desk: you import a text package, the cards fill, then Produce builds reference stills first and scene clips after.

MiniMax H3 Studio
MiniMax H3 Studio — not another Comfy graph. A real editor in front of H3. This is a new app, not a reskin of the last MiniMax H3 + ComfyUI launcher. The old one was: install Comfy, open a workflow, hunt nodes, wire models, fight templates. Fine if you already live in Comfy. Brutal if you just want a trailer, a music video, or a short film. H3 Studio is built for people who get lost in ComfyUI and spaghetti workflows. Comfy still runs in the background — that’s the engine. The product is a simple front end: Director, Plan, cinema studio, queue, gallery. You don’t assemble a pipeline. You make
