Director v1.2 with 3 ref
Hi, I need help with a character-replacement / dubbing setup on Muse Minimax Director (v1.2) using 3 references at once: - Ref 1 (Picture): person A identity image - Ref 2 (Picture): person B identity image - Ref Video: source video containing two people whose performance I want to copy What I want: A shot-for-shot dubbing of the reference video — the two persons from the pictures must reproduce the video's exact body movement, hand gestures, head motion and lip/mouth movements (frame by frame), while camera, framing, wardrobe, props, location, lighting and audio are all copied from the reference video. The pictures should contribute identity only. My setup: - Mode: Reference (Omni) - Total Duration 15s / Chunk Size 15s (single chunk) - use_prompt_override: ON (custom text pasted into the Prompt Override socket) - Ref Video: Role = Reference, Subject description left blank (pure motion/camera reference), "Include this clip's audio" = ON - Retention: fully preserved on all references - Ref Image Size: max - Dialogue language: Arabic Result so far: - ✅ Face/identity replacement works — the two new faces appear and stay stable - ❌ Motion is NOT copied from the reference video — the generated video invents its own movement instead of reproducing the source performance (body, hands, and mouth movements don't match the reference video) What I tried: - My override text originally referenced only <Picture 1>/<Picture 2> and described the video in plain words ("the reference video") without a <Video N> tag. - I was told the issue might be that the prompt never contains an explicit <Video 1> tag, so the model receives the video but isn't instructed to follow its motion. My questions: 1. In Prompt Override mode, how exactly should a wired Ref Video be referenced in the text? Is <Video 1> the correct tag, and how is it numbered when only some ref slots are filled (dense numbering like <Subject N>, or fixed to the slot number)? 2. Does the compiled prompt normally inject the <Video N> tag automatically, and is it expected that Prompt Override bypasses that injection — meaning I must write it myself?

Thanks for the honest answer — that actually explains a lot! The faces transfer perfectly, but the motion comes out as "inspired by" rather than copied, so I suspected a limitation rather than a wiring mistake on my side. Two quick follow-ups if you don't mind: 1. Is there any way to maximize motion fidelity within H3 itself — e.g. shorter clips (5s chunks), leaving the Ref Video subject description blank vs. filled, or tweaking the prompt-override wording to weight <Video 1> more heavily? 2. For true 1-1 performance cloning with identity swap, would you recommend a hybrid pipeline — e.g. Wan Animate / Scail2 for the motion + identity transfer, and H3 only for quality/refinement? Or is that overkill? Appreciate the work on the Director either way — the timeline UI and prompt compilation are excellent. 🙏
