What MiniMax H3 is built for

MiniMax H3 generates clips of 4 to 15 seconds from a prompt, or from a first frame in Image to Video mode. Resolutions are 768P and 2K, and aspect ratios include 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, and 21:9.

Prompting MiniMax H3

Keep prompts focused on movement. Describe the subject, the action, and the camera, and avoid listing many unrelated events. For image to video, upload a sharp frame with a clear subject and write only what should move: "the camera slowly pushes in as steam rises from the cup".
