MiniMax H3 is MiniMax's multimodal model family for generating and editing images, video, and audio through natural-language instructions. This page provides MiniMax H3 Text-to-Video: turn one written prompt into a 4–15-second video at 24 FPS, at either 768p or 2K, with native stereo audio generated with the picture. It accepts text only; use the linked H3 workflows when you need image, video, or audio references.
| MiniMax H3 advantage | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Selectable 768p or 2K with native stereo audio | Draft faster at 768p, or generate detailed visuals, dialogue, effects, ambience, and music in one pass at 2K—reducing separate upscaling, sound-design, and synchronization stages. |
| Language-directed Omni-Reference | Across MiniMax H3 workflows, assign images, video, and audio different roles—such as identity, product appearance, motion, camera style, voice, or music—so several sources can guide one coherent result. |
| V2V transfer and targeted editing | MiniMax H3 can carry over motion or camera language and revise selected visual or audio elements while preserving the rest, giving production teams a path beyond regenerating a shot from scratch. |
| Delivery-ready timing and framing | Generate 4–15 seconds at 24 FPS in six aspect ratios, so hooks, product reveals, and multi-beat scenes fit cinematic, web, feed, portrait, or vertical placements with less recutting and recropping. |
9:16 Shorts, Reels, and Stories or 1:1 feed assets with a clear opening hook and platform-ready framing.768p or 2k resolution.The first table lists the controls exposed by the MiniMax H3 Text-to-Video tool on this page.
| Parameter | Required | Type | Default | Range / Options | How to choose |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
prompt* | Yes (*) | String | Example prompt | 1–7,000 characters | Give MiniMax H3 a structured brief covering the subject, one main action, camera, setting and lighting, visual style, audio, and intended ending. Clear structure matters more than using the full limit. |
aspect_ratio | No | String | 16:9 | 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 | Match MiniMax H3 output to the destination: 21:9 for ultra-wide cinematic shots, 16:9 for general video and ads, 4:3 for editorial or retro framing, 1:1 for feeds, 3:4 for portrait products, and 9:16 for vertical social video. |
resolution | No | String | 768p | 768p, 2k | Use 768p for cheaper drafts and faster iteration; use 2k when the shot needs higher detail for large placements or crops. |
duration | No | Integer | 5 | 4–15 seconds, in 1-second steps | Use 4–7-second MiniMax H3 clips for one action or fast iteration, 8–10 seconds for a simple change, and 11–15 seconds only when the prompt defines a clear beginning, development, and ending. |
The following table summarizes the wider MiniMax H3 model family. Inputs described for first/last-frame and Omni-Reference modes are available through separate workflows, not as controls on this Text-to-Video page.
| Core dimension | MiniMax H3 |
|---|---|
| Model | MiniMax-H3 |
| Output duration | MiniMax H3 outputs 4–15 seconds. |
| Output aspect ratio | First/last-frame mode: follows the original aspect ratio of the input image.<br>Text-to-Video mode: follows the user-selected 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, or 9:16 ratio.<br>Omni-Reference mode: uses one of those six ratios or Auto, which lets MiniMax H3 choose the output ratio. |
| Resolution | MiniMax H3 supports two tiers. 768p: for aspect ratios from 16:9 through 9:16, the short side is 768 pixels; for wider output, total resolution is about 1 MP—for example, 21:9 is 1536×672.<br>1440p / 2K: for aspect ratios from 16:9 through 9:16, the short side is 1440 pixels; for wider output, total resolution is about 3.7 MP—for example, 21:9 is 2976×1248. |
| Output frame rate | MiniMax H3 outputs at 24 FPS. |
| Output audio | Every MiniMax H3 result includes native stereo audio. |
| First/last-frame input | Images: 0, 1, or 2; width and height each 256–5760 pixels; aspect ratio from 5:2 to 2:5 (0.4–2.5). With no image input, MiniMax H3 runs in Text-to-Video mode—the tool provided on this page. |
| Omni-Reference input | Images: up to 9; width and height each 256–5760 pixels.<br>Videos: up to 3; each 2–15 seconds; combined video duration up to 15 seconds; width and height each 256–5760 pixels; aspect ratio from 5:2 to 2:5 (0.4–2.5).<br>Audio: up to 3 clips; each 2–15 seconds; combined audio duration up to 15 seconds. Audio must accompany an image or video and cannot be the only reference.<br>Mixed input: up to 12 files total. With no image, video, or audio input, the workflow becomes Text-to-Video. |
| Supported input formats | MiniMax H3 accepts video: H.264/AVC or H.265/HEVC; embedded audio: AAC or MP3.<br>Image: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC, or HEIF.<br>Audio: WAV or MP3. |
| Input size limits | Each video: 50 MB; each image: 30 MB; each audio file: 15 MB. There is no separate combined-media limit beyond the per-file limits, but the API request body is limited to 64 MB; URL-based media input is recommended. |
| Prompt limit | The MiniMax H3 product guide allows up to 7,000 characters. This Text-to-Video deployment currently accepts 1–7,000 characters, as shown in the page-control table above. |
MiniMax H3 Text-to-Video pricing depends on resolution and duration:
| Resolution | Price per second | 5s | 10s | 15s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 768p | $0.09 | $0.45 | $0.90 | $1.35 |
| 2K | $0.145 | $0.725 | $1.45 | $2.175 |
For batches of 1–4 outputs, calculate the total as duration × per-second rate × output count.
Use this reusable MiniMax H3 prompt structure:
[subject + defining details] + [one action over time] + [camera framing and movement] + [setting + lighting] + [visual treatment] + [dialogue / effects / ambience / music] + [ending frame or constraint]
Weak prompt
> A luxury watch ad, cinematic and dynamic, with music.
Improved MiniMax H3 prompt
> A brushed-steel automatic watch rests on black volcanic stone. A narrow studio light sweeps across the sapphire crystal as the second hand moves and condensation beads on the case. Begin with an extreme macro, then make a slow 30-degree orbit, ending on the watch face. High-contrast luxury commercial, deep black background. Audio: soft mechanical ticking and one low cinematic pulse; no dialogue.
The improved version gives MiniMax H3 an identifiable subject, timed action, separate camera direction, lighting, finish, sound sources, and a final frame that can be reviewed.
Use this MiniMax H3 comparison as a model-family guide; maximum resolution and duration may not be available together, and RunComfy workflows can expose different inputs, resolution tiers, and audio controls.
| Model | Resolution | Max duration | Audio | Standout |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MiniMax H3 | 768p or 2K | 15s | Native stereo (voice, SFX, music) | Relates text, image, video, and audio references through language for V2V motion transfer and production editing; public weights are planned but have not yet been released. |
| Hailuo 02 | 1080p | ~10s | None | Strong prompt adherence and physics-focused motion suit gymnastics, dance, product movement, and other silent action shots that will receive audio later in production. |
| Kling 3.0 | Up to 4K | 15s | Native audio with lip-sync | Coordinates multi-shot camera changes with multilingual, speaker-assigned dialogue and lip-sync—useful for scripted ads, storyboards, and character-led scenes. |

MiniMax H3 is MiniMax's general-purpose multimodal generation and editing model family. Its broader task design covers text, image, video, and audio, while individual workflows expose different inputs. This page provides the prompt-only Text-to-Video workflow.
MiniMax positions H3 for advertising, branding, e-commerce, film, title design, animated posters, short-form storytelling, product and UI concepts, games, virtual characters, and stylized animation. The current Text-to-Video workflow is best for short concepts that can be directed from a written prompt.
On this page, MiniMax H3 supports 768p and 2k resolution. Choose any whole-second duration from 4 through 15 seconds; the default is 5 seconds. Use 768p for cheaper drafts and 2K when you need higher detail.
Yes. This Text-to-Video workflow generates native stereo audio with the video. Describe dialogue, ambience, sound effects, or music in the prompt; there is no separate audio toggle. Results can vary, so review lip synchronization and audio timing.
No. This page is the prompt-only MiniMax H3 Text-to-Video workflow, and its API accepts only prompt, aspect_ratio, resolution, and duration. For source media, use a separate H3 Image-to-Video or Reference-to-Video workflow.
In reference-enabled H3 workflows, natural language can assign different roles to text, images, video, and audio. For example, one source might define camera movement, another the character, and another the voice. This is a model-family capability, not a media-upload feature on the current page.
No. RunComfy provides MiniMax H3 through the browser and an HTTP API, so you do not need to host or scale the model yourself. MiniMax's July 31 launch post described a conditional plan to release model weights; verify current availability and license terms before planning self-hosting.
MiniMax H3 Text-to-Video costs $0.09 per generated second at 768p and $0.145 per generated second at 2K. At 768p, a 5-second video costs $0.45, a 10-second video costs $0.90, and a 15-second video costs $1.35. At 2K, those lengths cost $0.725, $1.45, and $2.175. Batch generation multiplies the duration-based cost by the number of outputs.
MiniMax describes Hailuo 02 as focusing on architecture, data, and scale, while MiniMax H3 focuses on generalizing tasks and modalities. H3 also adds native stereo audio and selectable 768p or 2K output to its Text-to-Video workflow.
