MiniMax H3
MiniMax H3 AI Video Generator
Create expressive 768P or 2K videos with MiniMax H3, also known as Hailuo 03. Start with a text prompt or opening image, then direct the motion, camera, and sound of your next scene.
Sample Video
Example output
Image to Video
Use an image as the opening frame, then describe how the subject and camera should move while preserving the visual direction.
768P or 2K Output
Choose a faster 768P draft or a more detailed 2K result, with flexible 4–15 second durations and common landscape, portrait, and square formats.
Model highlights
What makes MiniMax H3 different?
Hailuo 03 combines visual direction and sound generation in one model. Froging AI currently exposes its Text to Video and Image to Video workflows through the generator above.
Native audiovisual generation
MiniMax H3 creates video and stereo sound as one result. Prompts can coordinate visible action with dialogue, ambience, music, and sound effects instead of treating audio as a separate finishing step.
Detailed instruction following
Describe shot order, timing, camera movement, subject behavior, lighting, style, and elements that should remain unchanged. Clear directions give each short clip a stronger visual purpose.
First-frame creative control
Upload an image to establish the opening subject, composition, product, character, or environment. Then use the prompt to direct motion while retaining the visual anchor of that first frame.
Flexible creative formats
Generate 4–15 second clips in 768P or 2K and choose from landscape, portrait, square, classic, or cinematic aspect ratios for different publishing channels.
Create videos with MiniMax H3
MiniMax H3, also known as Hailuo 03, gives creators a focused way to move from an idea to a short audiovisual scene. Start in Text to Video when the scene begins in your imagination: describe the main subject, what it does, where it happens, the lighting, the camera perspective, and any useful sound cues. The more clearly those elements work together, the easier it is for the model to create a coherent shot rather than a collection of unrelated details. A strong prompt reads like a simple direction for a cinematographer, not a list of disconnected keywords.
Choose Image to Video when the opening composition matters. Upload a reference image and use the prompt to explain how the scene should evolve. For example, you might ask for a model to turn toward the camera as fabric moves in a light breeze, or for a product bottle to catch a moving highlight while the camera slowly pushes in. Keeping the prompt centered on one subject and one primary action usually produces a more controlled result than asking for several events at once.
This MiniMax H3 AI video generator is designed for quick creative iterations. Generate a first pass, review the motion and framing, then adjust the prompt with a specific change. If the shot feels too static, add a camera action such as a tracking shot, pan, orbit, or slow push-in. If it feels too busy, remove secondary actions and state which element should stay in focus. Treat each generation as a short shot in a larger edit, not as a complete story that must carry every idea at once.
Use cases
From first idea to a usable shot
Use MiniMax H3 for fast exploration, then select the strongest clips for editing, presentation, or publishing.
Social-first storytelling
Create an opening shot for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, or a vertical campaign. Use a 9:16 frame, give the subject one clear action, and specify a camera move that supports the hook.
Product concepts
Animate a product visual before committing to a shoot. Describe materials, environment, lighting, and a focused movement such as a slow orbit, macro reveal, or clean tabletop push-in.
Creative pre-visualization
Explore pacing, mood, and composition for a film, pitch, music visual, or campaign. A concise prompt makes it easier to compare several visual directions before production starts.
Image animation
Bring a still campaign image, character design, landscape, or product render into motion. Use the image as a first frame, then direct only the changes you want to see.
Text to Video or Image to Video?
Use Text to Video when you need freedom to invent the scene, character, setting, and composition from scratch. It works well for mood pieces, concept clips, and early campaign directions. Select the aspect ratio before generating so the shot starts with the format you need for your final channel.
Use an image for control
Use Image to Video when you already have a visual anchor. The uploaded image becomes the first frame, so it is the better choice when brand details, a product, a character, or a composition needs to remain recognizable. Describe motion, mood, and camera behavior instead of re-describing every visible detail.
A practical MiniMax H3 workflow
Step 1 · Plan one shot
Decide what the viewer should notice first
Before writing a prompt, identify the single visual beat that makes the clip valuable. It might be a runner crossing a rooftop, a close-up of a watch catching sunlight, or a character looking over a city. Choose the intended output format at this stage: a wide composition can establish a world, while a portrait frame keeps attention on a subject for mobile viewing. This decision prevents the prompt from trying to solve too many editorial problems at once.
Step 2 · Direct the motion
Write movement before decorative details
A useful MiniMax H3 prompt has a clear order: subject, action, setting, then camera and visual treatment. Start with what changes during the shot. Add physical details only when they strengthen that motion, such as wind lifting a coat, reflections moving across water, or dust catching a shaft of light. Finally, choose one camera instruction. A slow dolly forward feels very different from a handheld follow shot, even when the same subject and location are used.
Step 3 · Review and refine
Make each new generation intentional
After a generation, review it like an editor. Is the focal subject clear? Does the movement support the mood? Is the frame useful at the beginning and end of the clip? Keep the parts that work and revise one instruction at a time. For example, retain the same scene while changing only the camera to an overhead drift, or keep the camera while simplifying the action. This measured approach creates a faster path to a clip you can actually cut into a larger sequence.
Build more control into every prompt
Specificity does not mean adding every possible adjective. It means choosing details that help define the shot: who or what is on screen, what changes, where it happens, and how the camera observes it. If consistency is more important than invention, begin with a strong reference image. If mood is more important, use Text to Video and describe the color, lighting, texture, and lens feeling that belong to the world you want to build.
For a sequence, keep a small prompt brief alongside your project. Reuse the same character description, wardrobe, location, color palette, and camera language across related clips. This makes experiments easier to compare and helps your edit feel more intentional. MiniMax H3 works best as part of this repeatable creative process: idea, direction, generation, review, and refinement. Once you have a set of useful shots, download the results and assemble them with your voiceover, music, titles, or live-action footage in the editor of your choice.
Prompting tips for MiniMax H3
- 1. Start with the subject. Name the person, object, or scene viewers should focus on.
- 2. Describe motion. Specify the action, pace, and camera movement, such as a slow push-in or tracking shot.
- 3. Set the visual direction. Add the setting, time of day, lighting, and style to make the result more intentional.
- 4. Keep the shot achievable. One clear action produces a stronger short clip than a prompt that asks for multiple scene changes.
- 5. Iterate with purpose. Change one variable at a time—motion, camera, lighting, or style—so each new generation teaches you what to refine next.
Example prompt: A translucent orange perfume bottle on a wet black stone, warm sunrise light moving across the glass, tiny droplets sliding down the surface, slow cinematic orbit, high-end beauty campaign, shallow depth of field.
MiniMax H3 AI video generator FAQ
What can I create with MiniMax H3?
Create short concept videos, product visuals, social clips, mood films, storyboards, and animated shots from a clear prompt or an opening image. It is especially useful when you need to test a visual idea before spending time on a full production.
Does image-to-video keep my original composition?
Your upload is sent as the first frame. Use the prompt to describe movement while keeping the subject, composition, and style aligned with that image.
What video length can I choose?
This generator supports selected durations from 4 to 15 seconds. You can also choose between 768P for efficient drafts and 2K for a more detailed final result.
Is MiniMax H3 the same as Hailuo 03?
Yes. MiniMax H3 is also presented as Hailuo 03 or Hailuo 3.0. These names refer to the same generation of MiniMax's multimodal video technology.
Can MiniMax H3 generate native audio?
Yes. The model can create stereo sound together with the video. Include dialogue, atmosphere, music, or specific sound cues in the prompt when audio is important to the scene.
Why should I use a camera instruction in my prompt?
Camera language turns a static description into a direction for motion. Terms such as slow push-in, low-angle tracking shot, overhead drift, or locked-off close-up help clarify how the viewer should experience the scene.
Can I download my MiniMax H3 video?
Yes. When a generation finishes, use the download control in the result panel. On mobile devices, Froging AI opens the native save or share flow when the browser supports it.
