# MiniMax S2V-01 - Subject reference to video

> Generate video while maintaining character, face, or object identity using MiniMax S2V-01 subject reference in ComfyUI

MiniMax S2V-01 enables subject reference-to-video generation, maintaining the identity of a specific character, face, or object throughout the clip. Supply a reference image alongside your text prompt, and S2V-01 ensures consistent appearance across the entire generated sequence — ideal for character-driven narratives, branded content, and product showcases where visual identity must remain stable from frame to frame.

## Key capabilities

* **Subject identity preservation** — Maintain character, face, or object identity across the entire generated video
* **Single reference image** — One input image is sufficient to guide consistent appearance
* **Text-guided generation** — Combine subject reference with text prompts for full creative control
* **Perfect for serial content** — Ideal for character-driven narratives, branded content, and product showcases

> If nodes are missing when loading a workflow, possible reasons:
>
> 1. You are not using the latest ComfyUI version (Nightly version)
> 2. Some nodes failed to import at startup
