MiniMax's MiniMax H3 Max turns text or a still into short clips with matching sound at 480p, 768p, or 1080p, often delivering a 10-second video in roughly a dozen seconds.
Trading long waits and late audio sync for one brief that covers camera, action, and sound, MiniMax H3 Max helps marketers, previz artists, and social teams iterate faster.
For developers, MiniMax H3 Max on RunComfy can be used both in the browser and via an HTTP API, so you don't need to host or scale the model yourself.
Ideal for: Ad Storyboards | Product Motion | Social Hooks
MiniMax H3 Max is MiniMax's post-trained H3 video line for short clips with picture and sound rendered together—and it is built for speed. A 10-second clip often comes back in roughly a dozen seconds, so you can draft, revise, and lock shots in a tight loop.
On RunComfy you can start from a written shot list (text-to-video) or lock the opening frame from a still (image-to-video), then optionally steer the ending with a last frame.
This page runs the image-to-video path. The sibling text-to-video page shares the same MiniMax H3 Max family when you prefer to invent the first frame from words alone. Either way, MiniMax H3 Max aims for strong prompt following without a separate audio pass.

Yes. MiniMax H3 Max covers text-to-video when you invent the first frame from words, and image-to-video when you lock an opening still. This page focuses on image-to-video; use the sibling text-to-video page for the text-only path.
On the image-to-video route, MiniMax H3 Max accepts an optional end image so the clip travels from your start frame toward a chosen closing frame. Keep subject identity, wardrobe, and palette consistent between the two stills for cleaner transitions.
MiniMax H3 Max generates clips at 480p, 768p, or 1080p with duration from 5 to 15 seconds. Choose 480p for cheaper drafts, 768p for the default balance, and 1080p when you need sharper delivery; check the RunComfy parameter panel for the live controls.
