Raccoon Studio Update 1.3
Hello everybody,
again a big thank you to everyone on the Discord and here on Patreon, who reported bugs and requested features. A lot of what is in this update came directly from you.
If you are not on our Discord yet — this is your chance to join and influence the future development of the Raccoon Studio.

What is new?
The big theme of 1.3 is simple: stop leaving the Studio to get things. Models, references, longer videos — all of it happens inside now.
Import any model file
The importer is no longer restricted to files from me. Drop in any model file and the Studio reads its header to work out what it is and where it belongs — checkpoint, LoRA, VAE — and puts it in the right folder by itself.
10Eros Max — uncensored video model
A new checkpoint for MiniMax H3, fully uncensored. It is a simple pick in the video menu, no separate mode to learn, and every H3 feature works with it exactly as before. The Model is available in the "Models" menu.
Continue your clips
Your video does not have to end after a few seconds any more. Continue a generated clip and the Studio chains the next part onto it, then joins the whole chain into one finished file. Ask for several takes and pick the one you like best.
Civitai Browser (Patreon Exclusive)
No more downloading files by hand and guessing which folder they belong in. Search Civitai directly inside the Studio, browse with previews, filter by type, base model and sort order, and download straight into ComfyUI with one click. You sign in with your own Civitai account, so your downloads are yours.
Adult models are included in the search — no hidden filter quietly removing half of the results.
More control over video references
Send any picture from your gallery straight into a video as a start frame or as a reference — and now choose which model and which slot it goes to. Every image upload in the Studio also lets you pick from your gallery instead of hunting through folders.
Live preview for video
You can now watch a video generation take shape while it renders, instead of staring at a progress bar.
Faster and more stable
MiniMax H3 got a faster speed tier, and NVIDIA cards now use an optimised INT8 path. ComfyUI was updated to a newer version, with a full video and audio test before it shipped.
Important for existing Patreon supporters
You have to unlock your key again in the "Patreon" Menu, otherwise the Civitai Browser stays locked after updating.
Your existing key was created before this add-on existed, and a key can only unlock what it knew about at the time. Just visit the unlock page, log in with Patreon exactly as you did the first time, and paste the new key into the Add-ons page. It takes a minute, and your other add-ons keep working the whole time.
RunPod
The RunPod template is already updated to 1.3.0, so new pods get everything above with no action from you.
You can find a Runpod Guide here
Upgrade Instructions for Desktop Users
Simply click in the Raccoon Launcher the Update Button and wait until all steps are done. Simple as possible.
With these words I wish you a sunny weekend!
Next Steps
A little secret for now, but it has something to do with Prompting ;)
