MiniMax H3

MiniMax H3 is an independent third-party AI video studio at minimaxh3.art for generating native 2K video with synchronized audio from text prompts or still images. It targets short cinematic clips up to 15 seconds for social, ads, trailers, and brand films, with accounts, credits, and plans handled in one SaaS workflow.

What is MiniMax H3?

MiniMax H3 is an independent third-party AI video studio inspired by the MiniMax H3 / Hailuo 3.0 wave, not the official MiniMax or Hailuo product. It takes natural-language prompts plus optional start or reference images as inputs, and produces downloadable video clips with synchronized audio — dialogue, sound effects, and atmosphere — timed to the picture. The service runs in the browser and supports text-to-video, image-to-video, multi-ratio framing, and credit-based generation.

Key Features

• Native 2K video — Full 2K detail from the model itself, not a separate upscale pass, for large screens and client delivery.
• Synced audio built-in — Dialogue, SFX, and atmosphere generated with the picture in one pass, timed to on-screen action.
• Up to 15 seconds — More room than a typical short hook, so an open, product moment, and close fit in one generation.
• Text-to-video and image-to-video — Describe subjects, camera moves, lighting, and mood, or animate a start frame with motion and style instructions.
• Reference-guided consistency — Up to three reference images can lock character, wardrobe, environment, or style across a scene.
• Cinematic 24fps motion — Film-cadence motion with temporal consistency, keeping camera, lighting, and action stable across the take.
• Credit-based studio — Billing is 2 credits per second (5s = 10, 10s = 20, 15s = 30); new accounts get 10 free credits when enabled.

How does MiniMax H3 work?

1. Open the studio and choose text-to-video or image-to-video.
2. Enter a prompt describing subject, action, camera, lighting, dialogue, and sounds; add a start frame or up to three reference images.
3. Set duration (up to 15 seconds) and aspect ratio, generate the 2K-class video with synced audio, preview with sound, and download.

Generation usually takes a few minutes depending on queue, clip length, and resolution.

FAQ

Is MiniMax H3 the official MiniMax / Hailuo product?

No. minimaxh3.art is an independent third-party AI video studio experience inspired by the MiniMax H3 / Hailuo 3.0 wave. For official apps and APIs, use MiniMax / Hailuo’s own channels.

Does MiniMax H3 generate audio with the video?

Yes. Audio — dialogue, sound effects, and environmental atmosphere — is produced together with the picture, timed to on-screen action. Most short-form work does not need a separate sound-design pass.

How long are generated videos, and what resolution?

MiniMax H3 targets short clips up to about 15 seconds with multi-ratio framing (including 16:9 and 9:16) and 2K-class output options. Exact length and quality available in the studio depend on your account and current plan.

Can I use generated videos commercially?

Yes, subject to the Terms of Service and your plan entitlements. You are responsible for rights to any reference images, music, brands, or likenesses you upload or depict.

How do credits and pricing work?

Successful generations use 2 credits per second of output (5s = 10, 10s = 20, 15s = 30). Duration only — quality and model do not change the rate. New users may receive 10 trial credits after sign-in when enabled.
