MiniMax H3 is MiniMax's current video model for photoreal clips from a text prompt or a starting frame. It is built for grounded, camera-stable footage rather than stylized motion.

Use it when you need a short product shot, a location plate, or a realistic insert without committing credits until the clip is actually good.

Why MiniMax H3 is good

Text or image in

H3 generates 5–15 second clips from a written prompt or a still. Image-to-video is the path when you already have a locked frame.

Two resolutions

480p at 5.12 credits per second, 768p at 8.96. Pick draft resolution to iterate, then keep a 768p take when the motion is right.

Pay for keeps only

Previews are free. Credits leave the balance only when you keep a take. Killed renders refund in full — the same rule as every other model on Elyum.

Clean commercial files

Kept takes download at full quality, with no watermark, and commercial use included.
