MiniMax H3 Video Examples
See how H3 handles multimodal references, 2K detail, native stereo audio, and dynamic visual storytelling.
From Multimodal References to a Shot
Creative direction to reuse
Use character, camera-motion, and ambient-sound references to create one coherent cinematic shot with synchronized sound and image.
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.
BeforeAfter
“Keep the reference character and café atmosphere, follow the camera's forward rhythm, and blend the surrounding sound naturally.”
Understand 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.
“A 2K product close-up: reveal material detail and packaging text with a slow orbit, then land on a clean final reveal.”
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.
“A night street tracking shot: foreground dialogue, distant traffic and music for spatial depth, with sound moving naturally as the camera turns.”
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.
“Turn this game menu into a 15-second animated interface: preserve the character, Start and Continue buttons, purple-and-lime palette, and graffiti texture while adding coherent motion to the background and accents.”
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.
