Advanced Prompt Guide for Minimax Ai Video! - Pushing the Limits of Lifelike Animation

[@drewstudies]

This guide is a fantastic deep dive into the world of AI prompting with Minimax! The breakdown from beginner to advanced techniques really helps demystify the process, especially when it comes to controlling camera movements and adding lifelike motions. I appreciate how you cover the common pitfalls, like AI struggling with complex interactions-always nice to know I'm not alone when my character suddenly morphs into a horse! Overall, a super helpful video that adds clarity to what can feel like a very abstract toolset. And hey, at least now I know to zoom in on my mistakes, not out!

[@taoprompts]

Thank you so much! Ai still has some common issues, but if you carefully work with the prompts, you can make all sorts of different movements happen. A lot of the time it also depends on the base image you use 👍

[@cinematictrailerstudios]

You're the best by far at explaining prompts!

[@taoprompts]

Thanks I really appreciate that!

Bro your Viking scenes were fire!

[@taoprompts]

Thanks! I miss all the viking shows from a few years back

[@MettameowChannel]

I'm so glad YT suggested your channel for me. I'm so thankful for all your thorough teaching... THANK YOU!!!! Keep up the great work... 1 millions subs soon definitely🎉

[@taoprompts]

Great to have you here! This channel has grown a lot and there's a lot more Ai coming in the next year, so thanks so much for supporting 🙏

[@lucifer9814]

You've probably mastered these video generators way better than the ones who actually programmed these AI platforms. Your videos are absolute gold !!!

[@taoprompts]

Thank you! There's always something new to find when trying out these platforms 👍

[@giri.goyo_yt]

Just subscribed to MiniMax and finished my first short video. This video will help me on my next venture: a music video. MiniMax is my fave so far. Thanks for all your help!

[@taoprompts]

I've found Minimax is one of the best at following your prompt "directions", it can do all the basic motions you can think of. Also, it's cool that you're working on a music video 👍

[@FilmSpook]

Thanks again, Tao!! Just now saw this, and this is what I'm talkin' about, hehe. I really love your work and creativity. I just recently subscribed for MiniMax's Unlimited Plan, and my workflow time has been cut IN HALF because of it. I went for near photorealism in my last film, and I'm doing this again for my current project. I did discover some unusual tricks with MiniMax prompting that I haven't seen anyone else speak about that I will talk about soon enough in a video. Much Love, Brother. Cheers. Carlos

[@taoprompts]

I'm excited to see your prompt video man, I see your always posting new films on your channel 🔥

great hailuoai tutorial.. thanks

[@DavidWinstead]

Thanks for all the great help man, I just started using Minimax AI this week and it's blowing my mind! (Also, New Sub Earned!)

[@taoprompts]

Awesome to hear that man! Now's the right time to start learning Ai video 👍

[@bonsai-effect]

Incredibly valuable tutorial, not only for Minimax, but for any video prompting I think. I really enjoy how you get right to the point and never over complicate things. One question though, and I know the answer will only apply to today, now, this moment (I change my mind 3 times a day haha) ... in your opinion which is the best image to video today, this moment?

[@taoprompts]

Thank you 👍. I'd say either Kling or Minimax is the best. Kling has more features like lip sync, motion brush, start and end frames. Minimax has really good animations, although the resolution isn't as high as in Kling

[@maui_gaming7035]

Appreciate you so much for making these videos!

[@taoprompts]

Thanks! I hope these prompts helped with your videos

[@MoJamal-e8q]

awesome share. I need to get on minimax

[@taoprompts]

It's definitely worth checking out, it's super responsive to different prompts

[@Bahamamos]

Very informative!

[@ezmusicman2671]

The problem I have with MiniMax is that it wants to insert mouth movements/talking in every generation. I've tried "No talking", "No mouth movement", "expressionless" etc... with no luck yet. I can't create a character that just stands there and looks around in silence.

[@Shogun-AI2]

Try typing no facial expression it works sometimes,sometimes not

[@MythMakers-xq3ol]

Use slow motion your character will not uter even a letter😂

[@MythMakers-xq3ol]

Minimax taking it opposite don't use "no talking". It understand it as talking.

[@ThisFrameDoesntExist]

Have you tried with her mouth shut or different ways to get the character not to talk?

[@5timesm]

You should translate your prompt text from english to chinese and try it again

[@YouUsAndAI]

Also, I agree, AI has come such a long way in the past few months. Unbelievable!

[@sobiaali2756]

hello would love it if you could do a video covering how to ensure videos are vertical in minimax , how to make the videos become longer, and if there is any parameter in minimax that works like the -no parameter in midjourney. thanks

[@taoprompts]

Hey Minimax still doesn't have those features. If you want a vertical video, you need to use image-to-video feature and upload a vertical image reference

[@AIdevelopsyou]

your video is very helpful, thank you very much

[@taoprompts]

Glad this helped 👍. Minimax is pretty amazing

[@voyage-digital]

Very informative as always 👍 Haven't tried this one yet. You should make a video of the top 3 AIs.

[@taoprompts]

Thanks for the suggestion, I've thought about making a video like that. I'd say Minimax is one of the most responsive when it comes to different prompts

[@casatechmusic]

Thank you! 👍 I have been trying to get my characters to simply be quiet and not talk/move their mouths. No success uet. Does anyone have any prompting tips?

[@taoprompts]

Minimax does like to animate characters speaking a lot, I haven't seen a great way to stop that yet

[@KamaldeepChandel]

Awesome, Great Stuff

[@taoprompts]

Thanks Kamal!

[@romeofthesouth]

Excellent prompting explanations, will give this a try later. Any tips on keeping the face the same/consistent?

[@taoprompts]

1. the larger the face is compared to the rest of the image, the better & more consistent the animation will be 2. Less motion & movement you ask for also increases consistency 3. Less other faces in the scene, can also help

[@iconimous]

after I have uploaded an image with a person/character, how can I prompt so the camera moves AROUND at 90degrees while keeping the camera/focus on the character? I just want to add some move, not just a static end result. Thanks for your videos.

[@BuiltReport]

Recently, as in yesterday and today, I've found it nearly impossible to prompt Minimax to keep my character's mouth closed. Despite repeated attempts with prompts like "mouth closed," "mouth shut," "silent," "mute," "no talking," and countless variations, the issue persisted. After approximately 14 render attempts, I finally resorted to typing "smile." Although my goal was simply to keep the character from speaking, the smile at least succeeded in keeping the mouth closed.

[@taoprompts]

that is one of their problems right now, minimax always wants to render people talking. I found that prompting for other body motions inside the videos can help reduce the talking animations

Hi Tao thanks for creating this video in your honesty what are the best hours for minimax?

[@taoprompts]

If you mean which subscription plan to buy, I think the unlimited plan gives you the best value. Although you need to use it a lot to get your money's worth

[@bcraigcraig4796]

@@taoprompts I was wondering what is best to genator video since their so many people and for me and need to paid rent I will probably never afford that unlimited plan so I have to stick to the standard plan

[@ibrahimkarakoc]

Thanks for the video. Which AI would you recommend for videos, Kling or Minimax?

[@taoprompts]

Kling has extra features like lip sync, motion brush, also longer videos etc. Minimax seems to respond to prompts a bit better, but they are lacking in features. Personally, I'd still go with Kling if I had to choose, although I use both

[@homesolutions544]

Hi I have been looking EVERWHERE for a prompt to stop the animations from talking but no luck. No matter what I prompt, the animation keeps talking! Any help is greatly appreciated.

[@taoprompts]

try something like this" subtle motion, static camera, cinematic still, motionless"

[@froliknik]

I have characters talking all the time. I don't set that task in the prompt, though. Do you know what kind of prompt is needed to stop characters from talking?

[@taoprompts]

some combination of words like this " subtle motion, static camera, cinematic still, motionless", sometimes it takes a few tries though

[@froliknik]

@taoprompts Thank you, really.

[@RAZR_Channel]

Yo… please help a noob out… when creating characters in MidJourney I am in a bitter struggle to have girls keep their shirts on and Closed. The default seems to be open as wide as possible and cut so low as to hardly have a shirt on and bust size is default is obnoxious triple D size. About one in 50 generations she'll have her shirt on… It's a real struggle I have to resort to turtlenecks. I'm hoping you have a keyword prompt can at least increases my chances… I just want chicks to look classy not trashy … Many Thanks!

I can't create characters that have dancing. Because the minimag created a character with incorrect movement for me.

Minimax is good, however I think people should be aware when purchasing credits, at first you get put to the front of the que for rendering after a few days in you seem to get pushed to the back as if you were using free credits, you can wait up to 4 hours! yes 4 hours for your video to be generated, this is a deal breaker for me.
