How to use MiniMax H3 AI Video Generator
01
Choose a MiniMax H3 mode
Start from text, one or two ordered frames, or the References mode for mixed image, video, and audio guidance.
02
Prepare media and duration
Upload only media you can use, choose 4 to 15 seconds and 768P or 2K, then select a supported aspect ratio outside frame mode.
03
Generate and review
Check the server credit estimate, submit the request, and inspect movement, identity, audio, framing, and fine details.
MiniMax H3 AI Video Generator use cases
Hailuo 03 concept clips
Turn a compact brief into a motion concept without preparing reference media.
Frame controlled transitions
Guide how a scene moves from an opening frame to a defined closing composition.
Multimedia art direction
Combine approved images, motion references, and sound references for a more specific result.
Input requirements and limitations
Prepare your input
Use valid frame order
Image to Video accepts one first frame or two images in first-then-last order.
Keep references within the active limits
References accepts up to nine images, three videos, and three audio files. Audio cannot be used without at least one image or video.
Prepare media for safe validation
Images and videos must remain within documented dimensions and aspect ratios. Reference videos and audio must meet duration and codec checks.
Know the limits
Reference media affects price
The server includes output duration, total reference video duration, and the documented image surcharge when calculating credits.
Frame mode controls composition automatically
Image to Video uses the uploaded frame dimensions and does not expose the general aspect-ratio selector.
Complex identity still needs review
Faces, hands, lettering, fast movement, and several simultaneous actions can drift between frames.
