Can I try H3 Max for free?

Creating an account is free and costs nothing to keep. New accounts start with free credits, and after that generation is charged per second of output, so you only pay for the renders you actually run — a render that fails returns its credits in full.

How long can an H3 Max video be?

Between 5 and 15 seconds per render. The model rejects anything outside that range, so longer pieces have to be assembled from several renders.

Does H3 Max do image to video?

Yes. Give it one image to animate, and optionally a second image as the end frame to steer where the shot lands.

What does a generation cost?

Credits are charged per second of output and vary by resolution. The generator shows the exact cost before you run it, and a failed render returns the credits.

Can I use the videos commercially?

Yes, subject to the applicable service terms. You are responsible for having the rights to anything you upload and for using the output lawfully.

MiniMax H3 Max, ready to run

Turn one prompt into H3 Max video

Turn a prompt or an image into a 5–15 second video with synchronized audio, directed camera motion, and optional first and last frames. Choose H3 Max for fast 480P or 768P iteration, or standard H3 for 2K and 4K output.

H3 Max Creation Guide

Turn a written prompt into a complete video, or use beginning and ending images to guide the shot's composition, motion, timing, and transition.

Image Guide

Begin Image — Sets the opening frame, subject, and visual style.
End Image — Sets the final frame. A Begin Image is required before an End Image can be used.
Image limit — Up to 10MB per image.

What is MiniMax H3 Max?

H3 is MiniMax’s video model. H3 Max is a post-trained variant tuned for stronger prompt adherence, audiovisual quality and aesthetics. It creates synchronized audio with the picture and follows a written shot more closely than stock H3 at the same resolution, which is why it is the default here.

What you can create with H3 Max

Direct the shot, keep the look consistent, and bring motion and sound together in one generation.

Camera & Motion

Direct every camera move

Describe a tracking shot, pan, push-in, or fast follow. H3 Max keeps camera and subject movement aligned with the shot you wrote.

First & Last Frame

Turn two frames into one journey

Start from an opening image and add an optional closing frame. H3 Max builds continuous motion between the two moments.

Character Consistency

Keep characters recognizable across shots

Faces, clothing, proportions, and identity can stay coherent as the setting, light, and camera angle change.

Native Audio

Generate sound with the picture

Create ambience, effects, dialogue, and music in the same pass, timed to what happens on screen.

Art Direction

Hold one visual language

Carry a chosen palette, texture, linework, or cinematic treatment across every beat of the sequence.

Prompt Adherence

Render the beats in your order

Describe the action step by step. H3 Max can follow the sequence and preserve requested visual details, including on-screen text when applicable.

A new frontier in AI video

H3 Max turns ideas into motion in seconds. Model inference for a 5-second 768P video completes in about 3 seconds, with queue and file-processing time varying.
