Key capabilities
Why creators pick MiniMax H3 Max
Audiovisual generation
Builds on MiniMax H3 with additional tuning for prompt adherence, visual aesthetics, and high-throughput inference.
Three focused workflows
Choose text to video, first-and-last-frame animation, or reference-led generation before adding media.
Multimodal references
Guide identity, style, movement, camera behavior, or sound with up to 12 combined image, video, and audio inputs.
How to get a strong result
Tips for better results
Start with the subject, then add lighting, style, and anything that must stay the same. Upload a reference whenever you want a more controlled edit.
- 1
Select the workflow first
Use Frames for boundary control and References when media should guide rather than define frame one.
- 2
Start at 768P
Validate direction at the balanced resolution before moving to 1080P.
- 3
Assign each reference a role
State which input controls identity, motion, camera, style, or audio.
