What is MiniMax H3 Max?

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.

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
An amber glass perfume bottle with flowing fabric in golden light.

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.

Two views of a paper bird on the same desk, resting and spreading its wings.

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
A moodboard of a raincoat character, garden details and an audio recorder.

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.
