What MiniMax H3 is built for
MiniMax H3 generates clips of 4 to 15 seconds from a prompt, or from a first frame, a last frame, or both in Image to Video mode. Resolutions are 768P and 2K, and aspect ratios include 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, and 21:9.
Every clip includes a stereo audio track generated with the picture, and audio cannot be turned off. Describe dialogue, music, or sound effects in the prompt to steer it.

2K output

Image to video

Prompting MiniMax H3
Keep prompts focused on movement. Describe the subject, the action, and the camera, and avoid listing many unrelated events. For image to video, upload a sharp frame with a clear subject and write only what should move: "the camera slowly pushes in as steam rises from the cup".
