Text to video
Create a video directly from a written prompt that describes the subject, action, scene, and motion.
About the MiniMax H3 AI Video Generator
MiniMax H3 is an open, general-purpose multimodal AI video model that understands text, images, video, and audio within one creative context. It can generate 2K video from a written prompt, animate a first or last frame, or use reference media to guide the subject, movement, camera, style, voice, and editing rhythm.
Instead of treating picture, motion, and sound as separate tasks, MiniMax H3 connects them as parts of the same direction. Combine a scene description with visual or audio references to create a more coherent result, then refine the video with focused instructions rather than rebuilding the concept from scratch.
Creators can produce 4-15 second MiniMax H3 videos for product ads, social content, cinematic concepts, character-driven scenes, and other short-form production workflows.
MiniMax H3 AI Video Generator Features
Explore connected creative inputs, precise control, consistent references, and production-focused video tools.
Image to video
Use a first-frame image as the opening frame, then describe how the scene should evolve into motion.
Native Multimodal Understanding and Generation
Work with text, images, audio, and video in one creative flow. MiniMax H3 can use these inputs together, so a visual reference, written direction, and sound idea can support the same scene rather than becoming separate projects.
Precise Multimodal Editing and Control
Refine visual details, sound, and story choices with direct instructions. This precise video editing control helps you focus on the part that needs attention while keeping the broader creative direction in view.
Sound as Part of the Video Concept
Treat audio as a creative input, not an afterthought. The MiniMax H3 video generator can consider sound alongside motion and imagery, making it well suited to scenes where atmosphere, timing, and storytelling depend on both.
One Model for Different Production Needs
MiniMax H3 is built for film, advertising, branding, ecommerce, gaming, and other content workflows. That range gives individuals and teams one model for concept exploration, visual development, and production-focused creation.
