MiniMax H3 Lite AI video generator

Key features
MiniMax H3 Lite turns a written prompt and a still image you upload into video inside Enhance AI. It produces clips from 4 to 15 seconds at 480p or 768p. On top of that you can set the final frame and it renders 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16. MiniMax H3 Lite 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 Lite renders clips from 4 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
Choose 480p or 768p before you render. A lower resolution costs less, so test a prompt low and rerender the keeper at the top setting. The studio shows the price for the setting you picked before anything is charged.
Input modes
Start from a written prompt or from a still image. Text to video gives MiniMax H3 Lite 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.
End frame control
MiniMax H3 Lite accepts an end frame as well as a first one. Give it where the shot should finish and it renders the motion between the two, which is how you get a clean transition into the next clip or a shot that lands on a product.
Aspect ratios
MiniMax H3 Lite 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.

- Can MiniMax H3 Lite turn a photo into a video?
- Yes. Upload a still image, describe the movement you want, and MiniMax H3 Lite animates it. It also works from a written prompt alone.
- How long can a MiniMax H3 Lite clip be?
- MiniMax H3 Lite produces clips from 4 to 15 seconds. Longer runs cost more, because video is billed by length rather than by generation.
- What resolution does MiniMax H3 Lite output?
- MiniMax H3 Lite renders at 480p or 768p. You pick the resolution before you render, and a lower one costs less.
- Can I control how the clip ends?
- Yes. MiniMax H3 Lite accepts a final frame as well as a first one, so you can steer where the shot finishes rather than hoping for it.
- Is MiniMax H3 Lite free to try?
- No. Video on Enhance AI is paid per clip from your wallet, and a new account starts with an empty wallet, so there are no free MiniMax H3 Lite clips. The free tokens you get on signup, with no card needed, pay for image and audio tools, not video. Wallet top ups start at $5.
- What does it cost to run MiniMax H3 Lite?
- It costs $0.25 for a 5 second clip at 480p. MiniMax H3 Lite renders are billed from your wallet by clip length and resolution, so a short clip at a lower resolution costs less than a long one at full quality. You see the price for your settings before you render.
