anex.sh video

anex.sh video for ComfyUI

Nodes that make video with sound on anex.sh from inside ComfyUI, billed to your anex.sh credits. Nothing runs on your GPU: each node sends a request to anex.sh, waits for the clip and hands it on as a ComfyUI VIDEO, audio included.

| node | model | does | |---|---|---| | anex.sh Text to Video | MiniMax H3 (50 steps) or FastH3-8-Step-V2 (8 steps) | a clip from a prompt | | anex.sh First/Last Frame to Video | MiniMax H3 | a clip that starts on one image, ends on another, or both | | anex.sh Reference to Video / Edit Video | MiniMax H3 Ref2VA (4-step) | people, products or places from up to 9 images in a new clip, or up to 3 videos edited as the prompt describes | | anex.sh Upscale Video to 2K | | a finished 768P clip at 2K | | anex.sh Get Task | | the clip of a task made earlier, at no charge |

Clips are 768P (768 pixels on the short side) or 2K, 24 frames per second, 4 to 15 seconds. Every node also outputs the anex.sh task_id: connect it to Upscale Video to 2K to upscale that clip without sending it back.

Install

Search for "anex.sh video" in ComfyUI-Manager, or run comfy node install comfyui-anex. To install by hand, put this folder in ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ (for example git clone https://github.com/Mitoncz/comfyui-anex ComfyUI/custom_nodes/comfyui-anex) and restart ComfyUI. It needs nothing beyond ComfyUI's own packages.

The nodes are under "anex.sh/video" in the node library. Three ready workflows open from the Templates panel under "comfyui-anex", or by dragging a file from example_workflows/ onto the canvas:

• anex_text_to_video: a 4 s FastH3 clip, then the same clip upscaled to 2K.
• anex_first_last_frame: a clip that starts on an image you load.
• anex_edit_video: a video you load, edited with an image as a reference.

Your API key

Create a key on the Keys page of the console and start ComfyUI with it in the environment:

export ANEX_API_KEY=<your key>
python main.py

The api_key field under each node's advanced inputs stays empty: its label reads "api_key (empty: ANEX_API_KEY is set)" when ComfyUI was started with the key, and the status line under the node names where a run took its key from. If the label reads "api_key (ANEX_API_KEY not set)", ComfyUI did not get the variable. ComfyUI Desktop, started from the Dock or the Start menu, does not see a variable exported in a terminal: on macOS run launchctl setenv ANEX_API_KEY <your key>, on Windows setx ANEX_API_KEY <your key>, then quit and reopen ComfyUI Desktop.

You can also paste the key into a node's api_key field. A key typed there is saved inside the workflow and in the metadata of the files ComfyUI writes, so anyone you share either with can use it. The environment variable keeps it out of both.

Organizations that keep their data in the EEA (European Economic Area) set region to eu on each node: the clip is then made and stored in the EU.

Prices

The node's status line shows the clip's list price before it starts:

| | per second of video | per reference image | per second of reference video | |---|---|---|---| | MiniMax H3 | $0.08 | first 5 free, then $0.04 | | | MiniMax H3 Ref2VA (4-step) | $0.08 | first 5 free, then $0.04 | $0.08 | | FastH3-8-Step-V2 | $0.04 | | | | 2K | $0.05 on top of the rate above | | $0.05 on top | | Upscale Video to 2K | $0.05 | | |

A reference video bills the part the model reads: its length or the clip's, whichever is shorter. Failed, refused and cancelled-while-queued requests cost nothing. Full details: anex.sh/docs/video.

Cancelling

Cancel the run in ComfyUI and the node cancels its anex.sh task. A task that is still queued is dropped at no charge. One that has started rendering finishes and is billed, because the render cannot be stopped part way.

Closing ComfyUI mid-run

The clip keeps rendering on anex.sh. If ComfyUI is still running when you come back, the node carries on and picks the clip up. If ComfyUI was closed or restarted, put the task id (shown under the node and in its error message) into an anex.sh Get Task node: it waits for the task if it has not finished and loads its clip, at no charge. Clips are kept 30 days.

Inputs you supply

Images and videos are uploaded to anex.sh storage (never to a third party) and kept for 24 hours.

• Images: 256 to 5,760 pixels a side, width / height from 0.4 to 2.5.
• Reference videos: 2 to 15 seconds each, 15 seconds in total, 50 MB each. A video that is not H.264 MP4 is re-encoded before upload.

Every request is checked against the use rules of the MiniMax H3 licence before anything is generated; a refused request fails the node with the reason and is not billed. See the terms.

Environment variables

| variable | for | |---|---| | ANEX_API_KEY | your API key |

The nodes send your key only to anex.sh: tasks.anex.sh and api.anex.sh, or tasks-eu.anex.sh and api-eu.anex.sh with region set to eu. Nothing in the environment can point them at another host.

Licence

MIT. The models' own licences apply to the video you make with them; see anex.sh/docs/video.
