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 the price depends on clip length alone and 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.

What people make with MiniMax H3

Short social clips

Vertical clips for Reels, TikTok and Shorts are the most common job for MiniMax H3. Write one clear scene per clip, keep the action simple so the motion reads on a phone, and render a few variations before you post. A short clip that lands is worth more than a long one that wanders.

Product shots

Give MiniMax H3 a product, the surface it sits on and one camera move, and it returns a short hero shot for a store page or an ad. Keep the prompt to what the camera sees. Start from a product photo so the packaging stays exact.

Storyboards and previs

Before a real shoot, block out the film with MiniMax H3: one clip per beat, the same aspect ratio throughout, the same lighting notes in every prompt. Clients see the pacing and the camera moves instead of reading a script, and changing a beat costs one rerender rather than a reshoot.
