Explore product films, music videos, short dramas, and game interfaces made with references. Open a clip to see its prompt and available input materials, then reuse its settings above.
A way to show the model what you mean, alongside your written instructions.
A reference can explain the subject, visual style, motion, or sound more clearly than words alone.
Choose assets that each contribute something specific. An image might guide a product or character, a clip might guide movement, and audio might help communicate the intended sound. Your prompt connects those materials into one shot.
For more examples of asset roles and shot instructions, read the MiniMax H3 prompt guide. For other workflows, visit the MiniMax H3 video generator.
Guide appearance, motion, and sound with references, then choose your output settings. The clips below illustrate creative possibilities; they are not verified tests of individual reference controls.
Image references can guide character appearance, clothing, product shape, materials, and settings. Assign each image a clear role: one for the subject, another for the environment or visual style. Review faces, text, and logos in the finished clip, as fine details may vary.
Video references can guide actions, camera movement, and editing rhythm. Specify which motion to borrow while using your image references for the new subject and setting. This helps separate how the shot moves from what appears in it, without requiring a frame-for-frame copy.
Audio references give the model sound context alongside your instructions for dialogue, music, and ambience. Describe how each sound should relate to the on-screen action, then review timing and clarity in the generated clip. An audio reference does not guarantee an exact copy of a voice or soundtrack.
Choose standard H3 output at 768P or 2K, with a duration from 5 to 15 seconds. Available aspect ratios are 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1, and 21:9. Output duration controls the length of the new video; uploaded video and audio references have separate duration limits.
Start with the materials you already have and build a focused video brief for your next project.
Turn product photos into a short reveal or feature demonstration. Reference close-up details and describe the camera move, lighting, and setting you want.
Bring together wardrobe, model, and location references for a campaign concept. Specify which details each image should guide, then describe the performance and edit rhythm.
Use character portraits and a setting reference to plan a short scene. Write the action, dialogue, and expressions, then review how well the result preserves each character.
Combine visual references with a musical direction to explore a short music-video concept. Describe the texture, typography, movement, and timing of cuts in your prompt.
Use character artwork and interface references to visualize an equipment change, menu interaction, or scene transition before committing to production.
Give a static poster or campaign image subtle movement. Describe what should animate and what should stay fixed, and choose a vertical or landscape format for your intended placement.
From your first upload to a clip you can review.
Upload the images, video clips, or audio you want to use. Choose clear materials with a specific purpose.
Mention the uploaded assets in your prompt. Explain which controls the subject, setting, movement, or sound.
Set the aspect ratio, resolution, and duration. Standard H3 supports 768P or 2K in this generator.
Check identity, movement, composition, and audio. Refine one instruction at a time when you need another version.
Inputs, output settings, and what to expect from your references.
It is a workflow that combines a written prompt with reference images, video, or audio to guide a new video. References provide context; they do not guarantee an exact copy.
The generator accepts image, video, and audio references. You can add up to nine images, three videos, or three audio files, with a combined limit of twelve assets.
Give each uploaded asset a clear role, then describe the subject, action, camera, lighting, and sound. Use the asset mentions in the prompt field to identify the relevant references.
Standard H3 offers 768P and 2K here. Available resolutions depend on the selected model; check the generator before submitting.
Yes. Open a reference example and choose the recreate action to copy its prompt, available input images, aspect ratio, resolution, and duration into the generator above.
Not necessarily. Results can vary in faces, proportions, logos, text, and continuity. Review the output and simplify conflicting references or instructions when needed.
