Practical workflow guide
Best MiniMax H3 Workflows
After you choose an input mode, use these workflows to plan a cleaner video. Pick the job first. Then give MiniMax H3 one clear motion target.
Product Ad Workflow
Best for ecommerce and SaaS launches
- Use Image to Video when the product shape, color, or logo area must stay stable.
- Start with a clean product image, simple background, and one camera move.
- Ask for slow rotation, push-in, or light background motion. Avoid stacking actions.
- Review logos, labels, edges, and small text before publishing.
Character Motion Workflow
Best for game, anime, and creator concepts
- Use Image to Video when the face, outfit, or hairstyle must stay consistent.
- Describe one primary action such as a head turn, hair movement, walk cycle, or pose shift.
- Keep camera language simple: locked camera, gentle handheld, or slow push-in.
- Do not combine full-body motion, expression changes, and scene transitions in one short clip.
First and Last Frame Workflow
Best for planned transitions
- Use this when the opening and ending frame are both important.
- Write the prompt around the transition between the two frames.
- Keep the motion path clear: reveal, approach, open, transform, or settle.
- Use fewer scene details so MiniMax H3 can connect the frames cleanly.
Reference Media Workflow
Best for style, pacing, and camera direction
- Use references when text alone cannot explain the movement or look.
- Tell MiniMax H3 what to follow: style, camera, motion rhythm, lighting, or pacing.
- Do not ask one reference to control everything at once.
- If the result drifts, keep the strongest reference signal and regenerate.
Simple rule: start from an image when consistency matters. Start from text when the idea matters more than exact identity. Use first and last frames when the ending matters.

Can MiniMax H3 create videos from text?
Yes. Enter a prompt that describes the subject, action, setting, lighting, and camera movement. MiniMax H3 uses it to generate a 2K video.
Can MiniMax H3 turn an image into a video?
Yes. Use an image as the first or last frame to guide the video, or use images as reference media in the Reference-to-Video workflow.

How long can a MiniMax H3 video be?

Can MiniMax H3 generate 2K videos?
Yes. Choose 2K for higher-resolution output or 768P for a smaller video output in the current generator.

Can I use audio as a reference?

How many credits does MiniMax H3 use on this site?

How are credits calculated when I upload a reference video?
Add the total reference video duration to the output duration, then multiply by the selected resolution rate. Three reference seconds plus a five-second output uses 72 credits at 768P or 112 credits at 2K.
