Example output from MiniMax H3 Reference

Key features

MiniMax H3 Reference turns reference images into video inside Enhance AI. It produces clips from 4 to 15 seconds at a resolution you choose, 768p by default. On top of that it renders 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16 and it accepts up to 4 reference images. MiniMax H3 Reference 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 Reference 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 768p or 2K 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

MiniMax H3 Reference takes a written prompt, reference images, reference videos (optional) and reference audio (optional). Add them in the studio, check the preview and render. Every output lands in your history, ready to download or to pass to another model on the same account.

Reference images

Add up to 4 reference images and MiniMax H3 Reference holds a character, a product or a style steady across shots: the gap between a clip that looks like your brand and one that looks like the model's idea of it. Attach them next to the prompt.

Aspect ratios

MiniMax H3 Reference 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 Reference

A product across scenes

Upload photos of the product and describe each setting, and MiniMax H3 Reference places the same bottle, shoe or device in every shot with its shape and label intact. Build a full campaign of scenes from a single set of studio photos rather than shooting each location.

Style from a mood board

References do not have to be a subject. Feed MiniMax H3 Reference frames from a film, a set of photographs or your own past work, and the model carries the palette, the grain and the framing into new shots. It is the fastest way to match a brand look or a client's reference reel.

Matching an existing shot

When a new clip has to cut against footage you already have, give MiniMax H3 Reference a frame from that footage as a reference. The new shot picks up the light, the lens and the colour of the original, so the join in the edit is invisible rather than a visible change of source.
