Key MiniMax H3 Features
H3's premise is not a collection of isolated modes: it puts creative intent and different reference materials into one shared context.
BeforeUnderstand the Whole Multimodal Intent
H3 can understand text, images, video, and audio in one shared context. Give it your reference materials and describe how they should shape the shot, and it can interpret them as one creation task.
Native 2K Video, up to 15 Seconds
H3 supports whole-second clips from 4 to 15 seconds at a fixed 2K tier, using video representation and in-context regeneration to retain small text and visual detail.
Generate Picture and Native Stereo Together
H3 jointly generates video and audio, including dialogue, ambience, music, and sound effects. Raphael keeps sound enabled because this model's outputs include native stereo audio.
Carry Static Game UI into Motion
H3 works well for cinematic moments, animated game interfaces, and e-commerce ads. Describe the relationship between your reference material and the intended clip, and it can extend a still visual into continuous storytelling while preserving hierarchy and subject identity.
