One Model. One Creative Context.

H3 keeps direction together across picture, motion, and sound. Start from a sentence, then add only the references that make the shot more specific.

Write the Shot

Describe subject, action, camera, atmosphere, and sound in natural language. H3 turns the brief into a high-resolution video while keeping the requested visual and audio intent connected.

Reference Anything

Use images for identity and composition, video for motion or camera language, and audio for voice, rhythm, or ambience. Every reference contributes to the same generation context.

Sound Belongs in the Frame

Generate dialogue, ambience, music, and spatial sound with the video. Native stereo makes movement feel grounded in the scene and reduces soundtrack rebuilding after generation.

Borrow the Movement

Reference an existing performance or camera move and transfer its motion logic into a new subject or visual world. Use it for choreography, product movement, character performance, and complex camera blocking.

Change Only What Matters

Refine a shot with direct instructions. Adjust an object, performance, camera decision, or sound detail while preserving the creative context that should remain unchanged.

Keep the Take Coherent

Unified generation helps visual action and audio cues land together. This is useful for dialogue, musical timing, impacts, environmental sound, and scenes where sound responds to the picture.

From Words to Final Frame

Build the shot in three deliberate passes.

1

Write the Direction

Describe what happens, where it happens, how the camera sees it, and what the audience should hear. Keep the action sequence clear and use concrete sound cues when audio matters.

2

Add Useful References

Add an image to anchor the look, a video to communicate motion, or an audio clip to guide voice and rhythm. References should clarify the brief rather than compete with it.

3

Generate, Review, Refine

Create the first take, review picture and sound together, then make focused edits. Change one meaningful variable at a time to keep the strongest parts of the shot intact.

One Brief, Four Kinds of Control

A practical text-to-video workflow can move from pure direction to referenced performance without leaving the same creative context.

Scene Direction

Set subject, environment, action, lens, lighting, and mood in the prompt.

Visual Reference

Anchor wardrobe, product design, character identity, composition, or art direction with still images.

Motion & Audio Reference

Guide choreography, camera travel, timing, voice, music, and ambience with video or audio inputs.

Precision Pass

Preserve the take and request a focused change: quieter rain, a slower push-in, a different prop, or a cleaner final beat.

MiniMax H3 Use Cases

Use MiniMax H3 for AI video ads, filmmaking, social content, and motion exploration when a team needs to review picture and sound before full production.

AI Video Ads and Campaign Concepts

Turn a written treatment into a reviewable 2K concept with picture and sound. Explore different product movements, locations, voice treatments, and camera choices before a full production commitment.

AI Filmmaking and Storyboards

Prototype dialogue, character movement, atmosphere, and shot rhythm together. Motion and audio references help communicate performance details that are difficult to describe with text alone.

Social Media Video

Create complete vertical or landscape moments for social campaigns. Native audio makes each generated take easier to judge as a finished piece instead of a silent visual draft.

Motion Transfer and Choreography

Transfer dance, action, camera, or object motion into new visual directions. Test timing and energy quickly, then refine the strongest version with focused editing instructions.

MiniMax H3 Prompt Guide

Structure prompts around action, camera, sound, and the final beat so H3 can keep the full scene connected.

Recommended Structure

[Subject + setting] + [ordered action] + [camera] + [lighting / visual texture] + [dialogue / ambience / music] + [final beat]

  • Put actions in chronological order when timing matters.
  • Name the camera move once and describe its relationship to the subject.
  • Write audible events as part of the scene, not as a separate soundtrack list.
  • Use references for details that are easier to show than explain.
  • During editing, request one focused change and state what must stay unchanged.

Example Prompt

A tracking shot follows a cyclist through a rain-soaked night market. Red paper lanterns reflect in the street as vendors call from both sides. The bicycle bell passes naturally from right to left in the stereo field. Documentary texture, 35mm lens, one continuous shot. End as the cyclist disappears into a cloud of steam.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about MiniMax H3

What is MiniMax H3?

MiniMax H3 is a multimodal video generation model, also known as Hailuo 03. It understands text, image, video, and audio in a unified context and can generate high-resolution video with native stereo sound.

Can MiniMax H3 generate video from text only?

Yes. Text-to-video is the simplest way to start. Describe the subject, ordered action, camera, atmosphere, and sound; image, video, and audio references are optional ways to add more control.

What makes MiniMax H3 different from earlier Hailuo models?

MiniMax H3 brings picture and sound into one multimodal generation workflow with video and audio references, native stereo output, motion transfer, and focused editing.

Does MiniMax H3 generate audio?

Yes. H3 generates native stereo sound with the video, including scene ambience, dialogue, music, and spatial audio cues when requested in the prompt.

What resolution does MiniMax H3 support?

MiniMax H3 supports video generation up to 2K. The available aspect ratio, duration, and quality options can vary by product surface and generation mode.

Can MiniMax H3 transfer movement from another video?

Yes. Motion transfer uses a reference video to communicate choreography, performance timing, object motion, or camera language, then applies that motion logic to a new visual direction.

Can I edit a MiniMax H3 generation?

Yes. H3 supports focused editing instructions for visual, motion, camera, and audio details while preserving the parts that should remain unchanged.

Can I use MiniMax H3 videos commercially?

Commercial usage depends on your PromptGather plan and the applicable MiniMax model terms. Review the current terms before using generated videos for clients, advertising, marketing, or monetization.
