The model behind the generator
What Is MiniMax H3?
MiniMax H3 is a multimodal AI video model that creates short clips from written prompts, frames, and mixed media references.
MiniMax H3 understands text, images, video, and audio together, then generates the moving picture and stereo soundtrack as one result.
Use a written prompt when you want the model to invent the scene. Add a first or last frame when composition matters. Supply reference media when a subject, product, movement, camera rhythm, visual style, or sound needs clearer direction.
A single request can combine up to 12 reference materials: as many as nine images, three video clips, or three audio files, plus a prompt of up to 7,000 characters. Results still depend on input quality and the complexity of the requested action.
For practical prompt structures and reference instructions, read the MiniMax H3 prompt guide.

How to Use MiniMax H3 Online
Choose the right generation mode, describe the shot and sound, add only the references you need, then select the output settings.
01
Choose a Mode and Describe the Shot
Start with text-to-video, first-and-last-frame control, or multimodal reference video. Describe the subject, action, camera, lighting, pacing, and sound.
02
Add References and Select the Output
Attach only the images, clips, or audio that have a clear role, then choose an aspect ratio, 768P or 2K resolution, and a 5–15 second duration.
03
Generate, Review, and Refine
Watch the complete clip with sound. If one element misses the brief, request a specific change instead of replacing every successful detail.
