IV Studio

A free Infinite Variance desktop app for making short films with MiniMax H3 on your own PC. Give a recurring actor a face and a voice, write a shot, hunt a few quick previews and finish the best one at full size. Make pictures, songs and spoken lines, cut it all together and export. IV Studio drives your own ComfyUI; nothing leaves your machine unless you choose the cloud. No strong graphics card? Shots can also render on a GPU in your own RunPod or Modal account, billed by the second, or on Comfy Cloud (see Cloud).

IV Studio 1.1.7 opens on a simpler welcome that asks how much you already know and keeps things short if you're new, shows a picture for every one of the 165 Cinematography setups, lets Hermes write your prompts, and opens Create's examples and staging board as pop-ups. 1.1.6 lets you name your agent (and tell it your name), pick a colour for the whole app (red, blue, purple, orange or a dark grey), and gives the editor's cut tool a red katana.

IV Studio 1.1.4 adds Hermes to the chat beside Claude Code and Codex, and a History tab for earlier conversations. The IV Studio plugin for Hermes works the other way round: Hermes's own video_generate and image_generate render in IV Studio, on your GPU, for free.

IV Studio 1.1.3 lets you talk to the chat (it hears you with IV Studio's own speech recognition, on your PC) and read its replies aloud, shows every agent's work in an Activity log with Undo, gives the chat a cleaner look and its own window, and tells it more about what you're looking at.

IV Studio 1.1 brings your own Claude Code or Codex into the app as a chat that can make, edit and fix things for you, MiniMax H3 Image and Seedance 2.5 beside MiniMax H3, effects for any clip, nearly every feature on your own RunPod or Modal, speed presets for smaller graphics cards, and a new look that fits any window. See what's new in 1.1.

IV Studio is Powered by MiniMax H3. Using H3 through it means agreeing to the IV Studio terms of use, which carry MiniMax's use restrictions: IV Studio asks once, before your first H3 render. To report misuse, email [email protected].
