MiniMax H3 AI Video Generator
Understand text, image, and video references in one model, then generate controllable 4–15 second videos up to 2K for brand films, e-commerce ads, vertical drama, and visual creative.
What MiniMax H3 Can Do
H3 combines multimodal understanding, reference control, and production-oriented output in one video workflow.
Unified Multimodal Understanding
Interpret prompts, reference images, and reference videos together—including characters, motion, camera work, style, and pacing.
Image and Video References
Use up to 9 images or 3 video clips to guide people, products, movement, cinematography, and visual style.
First and Last Frame Control
Set the opening with a first frame and optionally define the destination with a last frame for animation or a natural transition.
Any Integer from 4 to 15 Seconds
Choose duration by the second, from a quick motion test to a complete ad beat, instead of fixed 6- or 10-second outputs.
Native 2K Output
Choose 768P for lower-cost drafts or 2K for delivery-quality social, campaign, and product visuals.
Production Across Use Cases
Create brand films, product showcases, AI narratives, game visuals, interface motion, and stylized animation.

MiniMax H3 vs Hailuo 2.3
H3 is more than a quality update: it moves from separate video inputs to a unified multimodal generation architecture.
Choose the Right MiniMax H3 Mode
Decide whether you are creating from scratch, controlling exact endpoints, or reusing features from existing assets.
Text to Video
When you only have an idea, define subject, action, environment, camera, light, sound, and aspect ratio in the prompt.
First or First-and-Last Frame
Upload frames when the opening composition or destination must be exact. The first frame sets the scene; the last sets the endpoint.
Reference Image or Video
Use references to preserve a person, product, action, or camera style, and state exactly what each asset should control.
Do not mix frame mode with reference mode. With multiple assets, assign a role to each—for example, “Image 1 controls the character; Video 1 controls camera motion.”
Four MiniMax H3 Prompt Structures
Copy a template, replace the bracketed details, then add frames or references only when they improve control.
Cinematic Single Shot
[Duration], [aspect ratio]. [Subject] [action] in [environment]. [Shot size], [camera movement]. Lighting: [light]. Overall [color/emotion], with [ambience/music]. Keep motion natural; avoid subject deformation and background jumps.
Best for visual concepts, atmosphere, and social clips created from scratch.
Controlled Visual Transition
Open on the first frame and preserve [subject/composition]. The subject gradually [change in action] while the camera [movement]. Transform the environment from [start state] to [end state], arriving precisely at the last frame with continuous motion and no hard cut.
Add a last frame only when the final composition must be fixed.
Character and Product Consistency
Image 1 controls [character/wardrobe], Image 2 controls [product form/material], and Video 1 controls [action/camera rhythm]. Generate a [duration] [content type]: begin with [shot one], then [shot two], and finish with [ending]. Keep people, product proportions, and light direction consistent.
Assign each reference a clear job so the assets do not compete.
9:16 E-commerce Short
A 9:16, [duration] ad for [product]. 0–3s: [opening hook]; 3–8s: [feature or use action]; 8–12s: [product close-up]; final beat: [brand ending]. Sharp pacing, stable product text and silhouette, clean background.
Designed for TikTok, Reels, and product-detail video.
MiniMax H3 FAQ
Direct answers about capabilities, availability, duration, resolution, references, and cost.
What is MiniMax H3?
MiniMax H3 is a general-purpose multimodal video model that understands text, image, video, and audio information for text-to-video, first/last-frame image-to-video, and reference generation. CreatOK currently supports text, frames, reference images, and reference videos.
How long can a MiniMax H3 video be?
H3 supports any integer duration from 4 to 15 seconds. CreatOK updates the credit estimate as you change duration and resolution.
Does MiniMax H3 support 2K?
Yes. Choose 768P or 2K output. 768P costs less and works well for drafts; 2K is better for final delivery and larger displays.
Which reference assets does MiniMax H3 support?
The official H3 API supports image, video, and audio references. CreatOK currently supports up to 9 reference images or 3 reference videos, with no more than 15 seconds of reference video in total.
Can MiniMax H3 use first and last frames?
Yes. Upload a first frame alone or both a first and last frame. A last frame cannot be used by itself, and the input image determines the output aspect ratio in this mode.
Is MiniMax H3 free on CreatOK?
Generation uses CreatOK credits. The exact amount depends on duration, 768P or 2K resolution, and reference-video input. Sign in to see the exact credit cost before submitting.
