MiniMax H3 Reference: AI video generation
MiniMax H3 video guided by reference images, videos and audio, at 768p or 2K, from 4 to 15 seconds.
$1.00 for a 5 second clip at 768p. Video is paid per clip from your wallet, no subscription. The studio shows the price before you pay, and top ups start at $5.
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.
