Prompt framework

Build a controllable MiniMax H3 request

Build stronger MiniMax H3 prompts by defining the subject, ordered action, environment, camera movement, shot sequence, continuity, lighting, audio, and final output constraints.

Subject → Action → Environment → Camera movement → Shot sequence → Lighting → Audio → Output constraints
1

Write the scene in beats

Define the opening image, ordered action, camera progression, transitions, audio moments, and closing frame. A short sequence of explicit beats gives H3 a usable timeline without repeating the model name or filling the prompt with generic quality terms.

2

Assign every reference a role

State whether each source controls character identity, product detail, environment, movement, camera language, or sound. Compatible roles make the result easier to direct and reduce contradictions between visual references.

3

Protect text and identity

Quote required visible wording and list the facial features, product geometry, wardrobe, props, and spatial relationships that must remain unchanged. Then describe only the movement and atmosphere that should evolve.

Reusable example

Replace the bracketed details with your brief

Create a [4–15 second] [aspect ratio] video featuring [subject] completing [ordered action] in [environment]. Begin with [opening frame], move through [camera path and shot beats], and finish on [defined final frame]. Preserve [identity, product, typography, or reference details]. Coordinate [dialogue, ambience, music, and effects] with specific visual moments, avoid [continuity errors], and deliver at [768P or 2K] with coherent motion and a synchronized audio track.

Model overview

What is the MiniMax H3 AI Video Generator?

MiniMax H3 is a multimodal video creation model for generating a new shot from text, animating a still image, transforming existing footage, or combining several visual references. These four starting points let you choose between open-ended creation and tighter control over identity, composition, movement, environment, and style.

The MiniMax H3 AI Video Generator brings MiniMax’s omni-modal video model into the DreamMotion AI workspace. It supports a written brief, first-frame animation, reference footage, and coordinated multimodal sources for 4–15 second MP4 videos at 768P or 2K. Picture and an audio track can be planned together for dialogue-led scenes, product campaigns, dynamic posters, game interfaces, and cinematic stories. The workspace exposes the active input mode, source limits, aspect ratio, duration, resolution, and exact credit estimate before submission. Prompt moderation runs before credits are reserved or APIMart receives a generation task. The same workspace keeps references, prompts, generation status, recent results, and failed-task refunds together, so the creative direction and production settings remain visible throughout the task.

How to use

How to create with MiniMax H3

Follow the same four-step path from the first input to the final credit review, using only controls available in the current DreamMotion workspace.

  1. 1

    Choose the strongest starting input

    Use text for a new scene, one image for first-frame animation, reference footage for motion direction, or multiple images when identity, product, setting, and style need separate controls.

  2. 2

    Direct picture and sound together

    Describe the subject, action order, camera, lighting, continuity, dialogue, ambience, effects, and final frame as one production brief.

  3. 3

    Set duration and resolution

    Choose a 4–15 second duration, supported aspect ratio, and either 768P or 2K output for the actual destination.

  4. 4

    Review credits and submit

    Confirm the displayed total before generation. Moderation runs first, and confirmed failed generation tasks return reserved credits automatically.

Workflow guide

Choose the right MiniMax H3 workflow

Start from the asset that already contains the most important creative decisions. The right input mode reduces unnecessary prompt instructions and gives the model a clearer definition of what may change and what must stay consistent.

01Directed audiovisual generation

Text to Video

Build a complete 4–15 second scene from a production brief. Define the opening composition, ordered actions, camera path, lighting changes, dialogue, ambience, effects, and closing frame so MiniMax H3 can coordinate picture and an audio track in one task.

Best for: Dialogue scenes, cinematic concepts, product stories, and sound-aware social video.

02First-frame animation

Image to Video

Start from an approved first frame when identity, product geometry, typography, or composition must remain recognizable. Describe the motion, camera development, evolving atmosphere, sound cues, and final beat without restating visual details that are already clear in the source.

Best for: Portrait performance, product reveals, dynamic posters, and designed campaign assets.

03Reference-motion direction

Video to Video

Use reference footage to establish action, timing, or camera rhythm, then specify the treatment MiniMax H3 should change. Separate protected motion beats from new character, environment, material, lighting, and audio direction to keep the transformation readable.

Best for: Motion transfer, visual restyling, alternate campaign treatments, and shot development.

04Omni-modal reference control

References to Video

Combine compatible images and video when different sources need to control identity, product detail, setting, motion, or style. Assign every reference one explicit role, resolve conflicts in the prompt, and describe the sound cues and details that must remain continuous.

Best for: Reference-led brand films, character continuity, ecommerce sequences, and multimodal concepts.

Good to know

FAQ About MiniMax H3

Clear answers about the current integration, credits, references, and generation behavior.

What is the MiniMax H3 AI Video Generator?+

It is an omni-modal MiniMax video model available through DreamMotion AI and APIMart. The current integration supports text, first-frame image, reference video, and multi-image workflows for 4–15 second MP4 results at 768P or 2K.

Does MiniMax H3 generate native audio?+

MiniMax H3 can return video with an audio track. Include dialogue, ambience, effects, music, timing, and sound direction in the same prompt as the visible action. APIMart also documents reference-audio support at the model API level; DreamMotion AI displays the source types currently available in each workspace mode.

Which H3 resolutions and durations are supported?+

DreamMotion AI offers continuous durations from 4 through 15 seconds and 768P or 2K output. Concrete landscape, portrait, square, standard, and ultrawide aspect ratios are available.

Can I use images and video as references?+

Yes. Image to Video uses a first-frame image, References to Video accepts two to nine images, and Video to Video can use a reference clip. Assign each source a clear role and avoid mixing incompatible creative directions.

How are MiniMax H3 credits calculated?+

The total depends on duration and whether 768P or 2K is selected. DreamMotion AI calculates the requirement from the current controls and displays it before the task can be submitted.

What happens if an H3 request is rejected or fails?+

A moderation denial stops before credits are consumed or a provider task begins. If an authorized provider task later reaches a confirmed failed state, DreamMotion AI returns its reserved credits.
