MiniMax H3 Video Guide
Turn mixed creative inputs into one finished video
Use MiniMax H3 inside the generator above to move from a written idea, a pair of keyframes, or a collection of references to a controlled audiovisual result. Choose the workflow that matches the material you already have.
Up to 2K output4–15 second clipsNative stereo soundThree generation workflows
Basic Steps
1
Choose Mode
Pick text-to-video, image-to-video with first and last frames, or reference-to-video with mixed references.
2
Write Prompt
Describe the scene, motion, and style you want in the video.
3
Set Parameters & Generate
Select duration (4-15s), resolution and aspect ratio, then click generate.
Three Generation Modes
Text to Video
Describe the scene, characters, actions, camera and sound in one prompt to create a complete clip with native stereo audio — no media needed.
Image to Video
Animate a single image, or upload first and last frames to control exactly how the sequence starts and ends. Great for posters, product showcases and UI demos.
Reference to Video
Combine up to 9 images, 3 videos and 3 audio clips. Use images for identity, video for motion and camera language, audio for voice and sound.
Prompt Tips
Give every reference a roleState what each asset controls — character identity, product look, motion, style or voice — to avoid conflicts between inputs.
Structure longer sequencesBreak multi-shot ideas into an ordered progression (e.g. [0-3s]… [3-7s]…) so pacing holds across the full 4-15 seconds.
Direct audio with visualsDescribe dialogue, music, ambience and sound effects alongside the action; H3 generates native stereo sound in the same pass.
Define camera languageSpecify framing, movement, focus and lens behavior to get intentional cinematography instead of generic motion.
Preserve and restrictList faces, props, text and brand details that must stay consistent, and state what to avoid (hard cuts, morphing, extra text).
More control without splitting the workflow
H3 is useful when a video idea depends on relationships between several kinds of input, not just a single prompt.
Sound designed with the picture
Generate native stereo audio alongside the visuals, including speech, ambience, effects, or music described by the creative direction.
Detailed instruction following
Specify subjects, staging, timing, camera behavior, visual style, and audio cues in natural language instead of chaining separate tools.
Flexible delivery settings
Choose a duration from 4 to 15 seconds, the required aspect ratio, and a resolution up to 2K for the intended channel.
Put H3 to work in everyday production
The same three workflows can support quick concepts, polished campaign assets, and product-focused motion content.
Advertising and social campaigns
Prototype attention-grabbing scenes, short campaign variations, and audiovisual posts from a concise creative brief.
E-commerce and product stories
Animate product stills, connect planned keyframes, or carry a consistent product appearance across a short showcase.
Brand and interface presentation
Use reference-led generation for branded visual language, dynamic posters, interface concepts, and launch presentations.
Games and creative previsualization
Explore character motion, camera ideas, mood, and sound before committing to a longer production pipeline.
MiniMax H3 generator questions
Practical answers for choosing a mode and preparing inputs before you generate.
Which MiniMax H3 mode should I choose?
Choose text to video when you only have a written concept. Use image to video when a still image or first/last frames should define the shot. Choose reference to video when identity, movement, style, or sound must come from several media assets.
Can I control both the opening and ending frame?
Yes. In image-to-video mode you can provide a first frame and a last frame, then describe the motion and transition that should connect them.
Does H3 create audio with the video?
MiniMax H3 can generate native stereo sound together with the visuals. Mention dialogue, ambience, sound effects, or music in the prompt when they matter to the result.
How long and how large can an H3 video be?
The generator offers durations from 4 to 15 seconds and resolution options up to 2K. Available combinations can vary by the selected mode and settings shown in the form.
How should I describe several reference files?
Assign a clear job to each reference—for example, character identity, product appearance, motion, camera style, voice, or ambience. Explicit roles reduce conflicts between inputs.
What kinds of projects suit MiniMax H3?
It is well suited to short advertising concepts, brand and social content, e-commerce showcases, product or UI presentations, game concepts, and other work that benefits from coordinated visuals and sound.
