MiniMax H3: Free 2K AI Video Generator with Native Audio
Generate 5 to 15 seconds at 2K and 24fps from a text prompt — or from up to 9 images, 3 video clips, and 3 audio tracks read in a single context. Sound comes with the shot, not after it.
No card required. First generation is free.
What is MiniMax H3?
MiniMax H3 is MiniMax’s general-purpose omni-modal video generation model. MiniMax H3 reads text, images, video, and audio together in one shared context instead of treating each input as a separate task. The result is a more direct MiniMax H3 workflow: write the intention, supply the references that matter, and ask the model to connect them in a single video.
For production work, MiniMax H3 can create videos from 5 to 15 seconds long at up to 2K resolution with native stereo audio. MiniMax H3 supports detailed prompts, camera direction, dialogue, sound cues, and visual constraints, so a creative brief can describe not only what appears on screen, but also how the shot moves and resolves. That makes MiniMax H3 useful for MiniMax H3 advertising concepts, product films, social creative, game cinematics, and previsualisation.
MiniMax H3 is designed for reference-led creation as well as prompt-led generation. A character image can establish identity, a clip can communicate motion or camera language, and audio can guide voice or rhythm. MiniMax H3 also supports instruction-based edits for targeted changes such as replacing a product, updating visible text, shifting the time of day, or refining an existing composition. MiniMax has announced plans to make the MiniMax H3 model weights available for eligible open-source and customised workflows.
Four Ways to Generate Videos with MiniMax H3
MiniMax H3 supports four flexible workflows for creating and editing AI videos. Start from a text prompt, control a transition with keyframes, add multimodal references, or refine existing footage with natural-language instructions.
Text to Video
Describe the complete shot, including the subject, action, environment, camera movement, lighting, visual style, and sound. MiniMax H3 turns your creative brief into a detailed video at up to 2K resolution.
Choose from seven MiniMax H3 aspect ratios, ranging from cinematic 21:9 to vertical 9:16, for advertising, social media, film concepts, and product content.
Example prompt:Slow push-in. Product on reflective steel, soft cyan edge light, native room tone.Generate Text to Video
First and Last Frame
Upload a starting image, or provide both an opening and final frame to define how the scene begins and ends. MiniMax H3 generates the motion and transition between the supplied images while preserving the intended composition.
This MiniMax H3 workflow is useful for product transformations, visual reveals, storyboard animation, scene transitions, and videos that need a controlled final frame.
Example prompt:Hold the opening composition, introduce subtle camera movement, and transition smoothly into the supplied final frame.Generate from First and Last Frames
Reference to Video
Combine images, video clips, and audio files to guide character identity, product appearance, movement, camera behavior, voice, sound, and timing.
MiniMax H3 can use up to nine image references, three video clips, and three audio files. Each uploaded asset can be identified by its order in the prompt, giving you clearer control over how individual references affect the final result.
This MiniMax H3 workflow helps maintain consistent subjects, products, styles, and motion across the generated scene.
Generate from ReferencesInstruction-Based Video Editing
Upload existing footage to MiniMax H3 and describe exactly what should change. You can also specify which parts of the original shot must remain unchanged.
MiniMax H3 applies targeted edits while preserving surrounding details such as composition, movement, lighting, camera angle, lens style, and timing.
Use MiniMax H3 to replace products, update signs, modify environments, adjust visual details, or create new campaign variations without rebuilding the entire video.

MiniMax H3 FAQ
What resolution and video length does MiniMax H3 support?
MiniMax H3 can generate videos from 5 to 15 seconds long at up to 2K resolution and 24 fps. Available MiniMax H3 settings can vary by generation mode and the current service interface.
What inputs can I use with MiniMax H3?
MiniMax H3 accepts written prompts, images, video clips, and audio references. In MiniMax H3, use a prompt for the creative direction and add references when you need greater control over identity, appearance, motion, camera language, voice, or timing.
Does MiniMax H3 generate native audio?
Yes. MiniMax H3 generates native stereo audio with the video. Describe the intended dialogue, ambience, music, or sound effects in the MiniMax H3 prompt, then review the finished clip to make sure the sound supports the picture.
Can MiniMax H3 create a video from text?
Yes. Describe the subject, setting, action, camera movement, lighting, style, sound, and final moment. A focused MiniMax H3 prompt that explains what changes during the MiniMax H3 shot is usually more controllable than a list of unrelated keywords.
Can I use first and last frames with MiniMax H3?
Yes. Upload a starting image, an ending image, or both to guide how a MiniMax H3 video opens and concludes. This MiniMax H3 workflow is useful for product reveals, storyboard animation, controlled scene transitions, and shots with a precise final composition.
Can MiniMax H3 use image, video, and audio references?
Yes. MiniMax H3 can combine reference images, clips, and audio with a prompt. Use only the assets that clarify the MiniMax H3 result: an image can lock a character or product, a clip can show motion, and audio can suggest voice or pacing.
Can MiniMax H3 edit an existing video?
MiniMax H3 supports instruction-based video editing. For a MiniMax H3 edit, describe the requested change and identify what must remain stable, such as the composition, subject movement, lighting, camera angle, lens style, sound, or timing.
Which aspect ratios are available in MiniMax H3?
Supported MiniMax H3 workflows offer 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16. Choose a MiniMax H3 widescreen format for websites and cinematic concepts, square formats for feed posts, and vertical formats for short-form mobile video.
Can MiniMax H3 create readable text and brand elements?
MiniMax identifies accurate text and brand presentation as a MiniMax H3 capability. For subtitles, signage, credits, labels, or interface elements, keep the wording concise and inspect the generated MiniMax H3 frame before publishing.
How do I write a better MiniMax H3 prompt?
Start with the subject and environment, then explain the visible action over time. Add one clear camera instruction, the lighting and visual style, the intended sound, and any details MiniMax H3 should keep unchanged. Revise one MiniMax H3 instruction at a time when refining a result.
