Key features

MiniMax H3 turns a written prompt and a still image you upload into video inside Enhance AI. It produces clips from 5 to 15 seconds at 2K. On top of that it renders 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16. MiniMax H3 is built by MiniMax. On Enhance AI it runs on the same account as every other model, with no separate subscription.

Clip length

MiniMax H3 renders clips from 5 to 15 seconds, and you pick the length before you render. Longer clips cost more because video is billed by length, so rough out an idea short and only render the full length once the shot works.

Resolution

MiniMax H3 renders at 2K. There is no resolution picker for this model, so every render comes back at the same size. For a bigger frame, run the finished clip through a video upscaler on the same account.

Input modes

Start from a written prompt or from a still image. Text to video gives MiniMax H3 the most freedom; image to video locks the first frame, so a product, a face or a location stays as you shot it while the motion is generated around it.

Aspect ratios

MiniMax H3 renders 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16. Pick the ratio for the platform before you render rather than cropping afterwards: 9:16 for Reels and Shorts, 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for feeds and 21:9 for cinema. The whole frame is generated for that shape.
