Key Features of MiniMax H3
Reference gallery examples from Zanta illustrate visual directions. They are not results verified on this site.
Short Visual Stories
Write a readable sequence of actions that can fit into one clip, using deliberate scene and timing cues.
- Reduce the number of beats when selecting a shorter duration.
- Watch the full clip for shape, continuity, pacing, and sound.
- Use a focused brief and change one visible variable when refining the result.
Image-to-Video Direction
Guide motion with up to four ordered reference images while naming the shape, material, or identity that should stay stable.
- Use a clean opening source and explain the movement you want.
- Watch the full clip for shape, continuity, pacing, and sound.
- Use a focused brief and change one visible variable when refining the result.
Transitions Between Visual States
Use compatible references and a short brief to plan a change in light, atmosphere, pose, or environment.
- Avoid asking for several large transformations in the same short clip.
- Watch the full clip for shape, continuity, pacing, and sound.
- Use a focused brief and change one visible variable when refining the result.
Dialogue and Audio Guidance
Describe a concise performance and, when useful, add up to three WAV audio references in the generator.
- Review speech, timing, physical sounds, and visual continuity together.
- Watch the full clip for shape, continuity, pacing, and sound.
- Use a focused brief and change one visible variable when refining the result.
MiniMax H3 Prompt Tips
Write a production brief that makes the result easy to inspect, compare, and refine.
Choose one physical beat
Describe a short action that can finish naturally inside one clip instead of stacking a full story.
Specify framing and path
Pick a wide, medium, or macro view and one move such as dolly-in, orbit, lateral track, or crane reveal.
Connect light and motion
Set the time, weather, materials, foreground movement, lighting direction, pace, and final mood.
Define a visible failure check
Review identity drift, deformation, camera wobble, broken physics, audio mismatch, and the final frame.
MiniMax H3 Use Cases
Choose the model by the job and review the visible failure mode before you publish.
Premium product motion
- Good fit
- Glass, liquid, fabric, light sweeps, macro details, and commercial reveals with controlled pacing.
- Watch for
- Protect geometry, reflections, and labels; watch the complete clip before exporting.
Reference-frame animation
- Good fit
- Animate an approved composition while keeping the subject, camera intent, and visual world recognizable.
- Watch for
- Large changes in scale, lens, pose, or scene layout make the transition less predictable.
Cinematic concept tests
- Good fit
- Prototype a campaign shot, atmospheric loop, character moment, or environment transition before production.
- Watch for
- Change one variable at a time so retries reveal whether motion, camera, or subject direction is failing.
Vertical social clips
- Good fit
- Plan short-form motion for portrait placement with a clear subject path and crop-safe composition.
- Watch for
- Inspect edge crops, subject continuity, text artifacts, compression, and the final frame.

MiniMax H3 FAQ
Practical answers about access, settings, references, review, and output use.
How do I start a video?
Sign in, describe one short scene, choose the available duration and format, and check the displayed credit estimate. Watch the full completed clip in Assets before downloading it.
Is generation unlimited or free?
Generation uses the credits shown before submission. You can use any eligible free credits in your balance, but this page does not promise unlimited free videos.
Can I use visual references?
Add up to 9 JPG, PNG, or WebP images. Describe what each image should guide and what needs to remain recognizable. Review the output rather than assuming exact preservation.
Which duration and output format are available?
The generator offers 480P, 768P, 1080P output and 16:9, 9:16 framing. Available durations: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 seconds. Choose from the controls shown and check the updated credit estimate.
Can I add or edit audio?
You can add up to three WAV audio references. There is no separate audio timeline or post-generation soundtrack editor; review the sound in the completed clip.
How should I write a motion prompt?
Name the subject, one physical action, one camera path, the light, and a clean final state. Keep the action count small enough to fit into the selected clip length.
Are the displayed clips verified results from this site?
The clips are reference-website examples for visual comparison. They are not a claim that this site generated the same result, audio, duration, or every capability shown in the reference.
What should I review before using a clip?
Watch the whole clip for identity drift, object deformation, camera wobble, awkward cuts, audio mismatch, and the final crop. Review the current site terms and your permission to use any references.
What changes between Original, Fast, and Quality?
Original can start from a prompt alone or references and offers up to 1080p. Fast and Quality require at least one visual reference and offer 480p or 768p. Check the estimate for the selected variant.
How many audio clips can I add?
You can add up to three WAV clips of 10 MB or less. Put them in the intended order and describe how their sound should relate to the scene.
Can I precisely edit a multi-shot timeline?
There is no timeline editor on this page. You can describe several brief visual beats, but the generated shot transitions and timing still need a complete playback review.
When is 1080p available?
Choose the Original variant for 1080p. Fast and Quality expose 480p and 768p. All three variants offer whole-second durations from 1 to 15 and 1:1, 16:9, or 9:16 framing.
