The model behind it
What Is MiniMax H3?
An omni-modal video model that reads text, images, video, and audio in one context.
MiniMax H3 reads text, images, video, and audio in one context and returns 2K video with native stereo sound.
Instead of handling one input type at a time, H3 can understand nine reference images, three video clips, three audio tracks, and a long prompt together as one instruction.
The model resolves those references against one another, allowing identity, movement, timing, and art direction to stay connected throughout a shot.

Five Ways to Generate a MiniMax H3 Video
Start from a written idea, one still, two frames, a reference pack, or a specialized LoRA.
MODE 02
Animate a Single Image
Upload a still and H3 animates it. The image sets the look, your prompt sets the motion.
MODE 03
Set the First and Last Frame
Give two images and the model fills the motion between them. Use this when the opening and closing frames are already approved.
MODE 04
Attach and Tag Reference Media
Attach images, clips, and audio tracks, then tag each reference in the prompt for identity, motion, style, or sound.
MODE 05
Apply a LoRA Online
Choose a tested adapter for camera movement, fight choreography, object physics, or anime line art.
