MiniMax H3 Video Generator

MiniMax H3 is the video model to reach for when a character has to stay the same person from the first frame to the last. It works three ways: text to video from a written shot, image to video from a photo you want to bring to life, and reference to video, where you hand it pictures of a character or a product and it holds them steady through the whole clip, with the first five reference images included in the price. Movement is natural and faces hold up in close-up, which is why it is a favourite for short ads, product clips and story shots with a recurring lead. MiniMax H3 Max sits beside it with the professional tools: Camera Controls, where you move the camera around one picture with keyframes, presets and a 3D view; Reference to Video from up to twelve pictures, videos and sound clips; Extend Video, which carries on a clip of up to a minute at up to 2K; and 3D to Video, which turns a Blender render into realistic footage. H3 Max Turbo is the fast, low-cost tier for drafting an idea. Every clip is priced on the Generate button before you spend, with no subscription and no watermark.

Questions

How much does MiniMax H3 cost?

19 credits for 5 seconds at 2K, from text or from an image. The price is on the Generate button before you spend.

What is reference-to-video?

You give it images of a character or product and it keeps them consistent across the clip - the first five reference images are included in the price.

Can it animate my photo?

Yes: pick MiniMax H3 from image, upload your photo and describe the motion.

What is MiniMax H3 best at?

Keeping a character the same across a clip. Reference to video takes pictures of a person or a product and holds them steady, which suits ads, product clips and short stories with a recurring lead.

What is H3 Max Turbo?

The fast, low-cost MiniMax tier for text or image to video. Use it to draft an idea cheaply, then render the final with MiniMax H3.

MiniMax H3 or Kling: which should I use?

MiniMax H3 when a character or product has to stay consistent from reference images; Kling when you want the cheapest good clip or native 4K. Both are on the same account and the same balance, so you can try each on the same prompt.

Is there a watermark?

No. The clip is yours to download and use, including commercially.

What is MiniMax H3 Max?

Can I control the camera move?

Yes. MiniMax H3 Max Camera Controls has presets such as orbit, push in, crane up and top-down reveal, and a 3D view where you set the camera's orbit, height and distance with keyframes on a timeline, then play the move back before you generate.

Can I turn a Blender render into a real video?

Yes. MiniMax H3 Max 3D to Video takes a render or previs of up to 15 seconds and re-renders it as realistic footage, following its layout, camera and timing.
