Frequently asked questions about Mini-H3
What are the three MiniMax H3 generation modes?
Text-to-video (create from written prompts), image-to-video (animate existing still assets), and reference-to-video (use motion, identity, or timing references to guide generation).
What resolutions and aspect ratios are supported?
Multiple aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9) at both 768P and 2K resolutions, with clip durations from 4 to 15 seconds.
Who is MiniMax H3 designed for?
Campaign teams testing video variants, product teams animating assets, developers validating API payloads, and creative teams needing fast video experiments with source validation and generation history.
How can I optimize results with MiniMax H3?
Define a single shot outcome, prepare clear source material with legible subjects and backgrounds, lock non-negotiable details (subject, logo, camera), assign explicit roles to references, and use repeatable quality standards for comparison.
