MiniMax H3 Max is an AI video model for turning ideas and visual materials into short films. Describe a scene, animate a product photo or bring a character into motion. Text-to-video, image-to-video and Omni Reference give you different ways to build the shot, from its subject and setting to the movement of the camera.
MiniMax H3 Max prompt examples
Explore three ideas for your next clip: a quiet product close-up, a character in motion and a landscape at sunrise. Use the prompts to describe the scene and the movement you want.

Product motion
An unbranded ceramic cup sits on a wooden table beside a window. Steam rises gently. The camera moves slowly closer while the cup stays still. Soft morning light, one continuous shot.

Character study
A person in a raincoat walks along a quiet garden path. The camera tracks from the side at walking speed. Keep the same outfit and soft overcast lighting throughout the short scene.

Landscape movement
A wide view of a mountain lake at sunrise. Small ripples cross the water and thin mist drifts above it. Keep the camera still and the movement gentle. No scene cuts.
How to use MiniMax H3 Max
From your first idea to a finished clip in three steps.

Choose your model
Open the video generator with MiniMax H3 Max selected. Choose text-to-video, image-to-video or Omni Reference to match the material you want to start with.

Describe the scene
Write what happens, how the camera moves and what the light looks like. Add your starting image or reference files, then choose the video length and resolution.

Generate and download
Check the credit total and create your video. Open the finished clip in the workspace or My Creations to preview it and download it.
Key features of MiniMax H3 Max
Build the scene around your idea. Use words to direct a shot, images to set its look and references to bring the details together.

Create a scene from words
Turn a written idea into a video with text-to-video. Describe the subject, action, setting and lighting, then direct the camera with a close-up, a slow push-in or a tracking shot. Build a product moment, a character scene or an atmospheric landscape from a single prompt.
Create with MiniMax H3 Max
Bring still images to life
Start with a photo, illustration or product shot. Image-to-video uses it as the opening frame while your prompt describes what moves next: fabric catching the breeze, a person turning toward the camera or a gentle reveal around an object. Give an existing visual a new sense of time and movement.
Create with MiniMax H3 Max
Shape the opening and ending
Give your video a clear beginning and destination. Add a starting image and an optional ending frame in image-to-video, then describe the action between them. Plan a product reveal, a change of pose or a visual transition with both ends of the shot in mind.
Create with MiniMax H3 Max
Bring your references together
Use Omni Reference to combine images, video and audio in one request. Set the subject and visual style with images, show a movement with video, and add sound as an audio reference. Explain the role of each file in your prompt to give the scene a shared creative direction.
