Video Generator
Create stunning AI videos with native audio from text and images
One Context. Picture and Sound Together.
From a single prompt to reference-driven brand spots — see what MiniMax H3 can generate in one pass.
What Is MiniMax H3?
MiniMax H3 (also known as Hailuo 3.0) is MiniMax's flagship omni-modal video generation model, released in July 2026 with open weights.
MiniMax H3 reads text, images, video clips and audio as one unified context — and generates video with native stereo audio at up to 2K resolution and 15 seconds. Instead of chaining separate tools for visuals, voice and sound, you brief it like an animator: this image locks the character, this clip sets the motion, this track is the voice.
One Context for Every Modality
Most models do one job — text-to-video or image-to-video. MiniMax H3 treats all inputs as the same problem: understand a multimodal context, then generate from it. One request can carry up to 9 images, 3 video clips and 3 audio tracks.
Built for Commercial Work
From advertising and e-commerce to UI motion and game cinematics, MiniMax H3 renders on-screen text and logos that stay legible, keeps characters consistent across cuts, and lets you revise a finished clip by simply describing the change.
Why Choose MiniMax H3?
Six reasons creators and teams are switching to MiniMax H3 for AI video generation.
Sound Comes With the Picture
Dialogue, foley, ambience and score are generated in the same pass as the frames, in 32 kHz stereo. Lip sync lands where it should because the model made both at once — no dubbing, no syncing, no extra vendor.
2K That Isn't an Upscale
MiniMax H3 generates a 768P pass, then regenerates it in-context at 2K using the original context. It's the model refining its own work — not a separate super-resolution guess.
Omni-Reference Control
Lock character identity with photos, motion with video clips, and voice tone with audio — up to 12 reference files in a single request, each assigned a job in plain language.
Edit by Asking, Not Re-Rolling
Point at what's wrong and say what you want instead. Change a garment, relight a scene, rewrite a line of dialogue — the parts you didn't mention stay put.
Text You Can Actually Ship
On-screen typography, brand marks, packaging and UI elements hold up under motion — the reason MiniMax H3 shows up in ad, e-commerce and product-design workflows.
Priced for Iteration
When one test costs less than a coffee, you stop committing to your first idea. Render ten directions cheaply, keep the one that lands — that's how modern creative teams work.
How to Use MiniMax H3
From prompt to polished 2K clip in four steps.
Choose Your Starting Point
Pure text, a first and last frame, or a pile of references — photos for identity, clips for motion, audio for voice. Three modes, three very different amounts of control.
Write It Like a Shot List
"Woman walking" gives the model nothing. "Handheld follow shot, woman crossing a wet parking garage at night, sodium lights, footsteps and distant traffic" gives it five decisions to execute. Name the subject, the change, the camera, the light and the sound.
Set the Frame
Pick a ratio, choose 768P or 2K, and set your length from 4 to 15 seconds. Test at 5 seconds before you commit to a longer render.
Give Notes Instead of Starting Over
Watch it with sound on. If something's off, describe the change in a sentence and re-run — one variable at a time. Download the take you love in up to 2K.
Pro tip: end your prompt with the music direction you want (or "no music") — MiniMax H3 composes a soundtrack if you leave the space empty.
MiniMax H3 Key Features
Everything you need for controllable, commercial-grade AI video in one model.
Omni-Modal Unified Context
Text, images, video and audio are understood together in a single context — assign each reference a job in plain language and MiniMax H3 works out how they relate.
Native Stereo Audio
Dialogue, foley, ambience and music are generated with the frames at 32 kHz stereo. Supports spoken dialogue in 11 languages with accurate lip sync.
Up to 2K, 4–15 Seconds
Native 2K output at 24 fps in whole-second steps from 4 to 15 seconds — long enough for a complete beat, short enough to iterate fast.
Accurate Text & Logo Rendering
On-screen typography, brand marks and packaging hold up under motion. The more precise the prompt, the more of it survives to the render.
Motion Transfer & First/Last Frame
Copy the movement from a reference video onto a new character, or set starting and ending frames and let MiniMax H3 animate the journey between them.
Every Aspect Ratio
21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16 — full coverage for cinema, social feeds, shorts and vertical platforms, plus adaptive mode for image-driven work.
Who Can Use MiniMax H3?
From solo creators to production teams — MiniMax H3 fits workflows where control matters.
Content Creators & Influencers
Generate scroll-stopping 9:16 clips for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts — with sound design and lip sync included, straight out of the model.
Marketers & Agencies
Render ten campaign directions cheaply instead of producing one expensively and having it rejected. Test dozens of ad concepts daily at a fraction of production cost.
Filmmakers & Storyboard Artists
MiniMax H3 understands real camera vocabulary — dolly, tracking shot, rack focus — so you brief it in film language, not prompt-speak. Perfect for previsualization.
E-Commerce Teams
Turn the catalog photos you already shot into motion. Lock the product's shape, material and logo with reference images and generate polished product spots.
Game & App Studios
Character reels, animated UI walkthroughs, CG concepts and cutscene previews — with characters that hold their look across shots in a single request.
Educators & Publishers
Produce explainers, knowledge clips and course visuals with matched narration and ambience — no microphones, no studio, no editing timeline.
What Creators Say About MiniMax H3
Early adopters on what changed for their workflow.
“The native audio is the whole game. I brief the shot, the dialogue and the room tone in one prompt, and the edit arrives already finished. My turnaround went from days to about an hour.”
Marcus Chen
Independent Filmmaker
“We test dozens of product concepts a week now. The reference locking keeps our packaging label sharp in every take — no other tool we tried could render our logo without melting it.”
Sofia Ramirez
Creative Director, DTC Brand
“Motion transfer sold me. I recorded a dance move on my phone, fed it in with a character sheet, and got back a consistent animated performance. That used to be a rigging job.”
Yuki Tanaka
Motion Designer
