A cinematic MiniMax H3 generation

Watch a finished 2K-style fantasy scene together with its creative direction and current vid2vid cost estimate.

Fantasy sword awakening

A blue-lit warrior draws power from a luminous sword while fog, fabric, and subtle camera movement build a cinematic reveal.

Create a cinematic fantasy scene in cool blue light. A warrior kneels and grips a luminous sword as energy builds through the blade. Add drifting fog, natural fabric movement, dramatic contrast, and a slow controlled camera push-in with synchronized atmospheric sound.

What MiniMax H3 is built for

H3 combines high-resolution output with directable motion, synchronized sound, and several ways to provide visual context.

2K output by default

H3 produces 2K video without a separate resolution selector, making it suitable for polished campaign and cinematic work.

Native stereo audio

Generate dialogue, ambience, effects, and music together with the visual result instead of treating sound as a separate pass.

First and last frame control

Guide an image-to-video shot with a starting frame and an optional ending frame when the transition matters.

Multimodal references

Use reference images, clips, and audio to control characters, motion, styling, wardrobe, backgrounds, or product presentation.

Current vid2vid integration

The model picker and API route use separate official KIE identifiers for each H3 workflow.

01

Text uses minimax-h3/text-to-video, frames use minimax-h3/image-to-video, and clips use minimax-h3/reference-to-video.

02

The duration control exposes every supported value from 4 through 15 seconds, while output remains fixed at 2K.

03

A 5-second text or image generation currently starts at 500 vid2vid credits; reference-video billing also includes source duration.

Best MiniMax H3 use cases

Choose H3 when the result needs more direction than a short prompt alone can provide.

01

Video restyling and targeted edits

Preserve source motion while changing a character, environment, material, lighting direction, or complete visual style.

02

Product and brand films

Build polished product reveals, campaign variations, or social ads with controlled camera movement and synchronized sound.

03

Narrative and animated scenes

Direct dialogue, character action, cinematic camera work, and atmosphere for short stories or animated sequences.

Three ways to use MiniMax H3

The selected H3 endpoint changes automatically when you switch the input mode.

01

Start from text

Describe the subject, action, camera, lighting, dialogue, sound, and aspect ratio to create a new 4-15 second scene.

02

Animate one or two frames

Upload a first frame and optionally a last frame, then describe the motion and transition between them.

03

Transform a reference clip

Upload source footage and describe what to preserve and what to replace. H3 keeps the reference workflow in one request.
