Evidence behind the H3 Max claim
At launch, fal reported first-place image-to-video results on Design Arena and Artificial Analysis. Rankings change, so these are presented as dated launch snapshots.
- Post-trained for prompt understanding and visual aesthetics.
- Fast backend inference for a 5-second 768p sample.
Key features
Direct the whole moment
Combine shot direction, visual consistency, and sound in one prompt-led workflow.
First & last frame02
Connect two stills with one continuous shot
Use an opening image and an optional closing image to define where movement starts and ends. H3 Max fills the journey between those keyframes with a clear destination.
Character consistency03
Hold identity across changing locations
Keep a person recognizable as lighting, framing, and location change. The model preserves core facial features, clothing, and proportions across a short sequence.
Native audio04
Generate picture and sound together
Write dialogue, ambience, music, and foley into the same brief as the visuals. H3 Max returns synchronized audio with the picture in one generation.
Art direction05
Keep one visual language across the cut
Name the palette, material, linework, and typography you want the scene to follow. The model can maintain that treatment across several beats.
Prompt adherence06
Keep the beats in the order you wrote them
Structured prompts can specify what happens first, what changes, and how the shot resolves, helping detailed briefs survive the move from words to motion.

How it works
Create in three steps
Choose your starting point
Start with text-to-video, an opening image, or a first-and-last-frame pair when the shot needs a specific ending.
Direct the scene and sound
Describe subject, action, camera movement, pacing, lighting, and audio in the order they should happen.
Set the output and generate
Choose 5–15 seconds, 480p or 768p, confirm the displayed credit cost, and generate your clip.
Use cases
Built for fast creative decisions
Short ads and product spots
Turn a product brief into a compact clip with camera direction, readable visual beats, and synchronized sound. Use H3 Max for fast concept options before final production.
Storyboards and previsualization
Test a scene, transition, or camera move before committing to a full shoot. Fast 768p output makes it easy to compare directions while the story is still flexible.
Social video with dialogue
Describe a speaker, line, framing, and background sound in one prompt. Native audio and lip sync make short character moments easier to review as a complete idea.
Stylized brand stories
Carry a deliberate palette and material language across several shots for animated posters, product reveals, and branded scenes with coherent art direction.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What is MiniMax H3 Max?
MiniMax H3 Max is a post-trained version of the open-weight MiniMax H3 base model, tuned for stronger prompt adherence, aesthetics, and fast 768p inference.
What can the MiniMax H3 Max AI video generator create?
It can generate video from text or animate an image, including an optional final keyframe. It supports directed camera motion, multi-shot consistency, dialogue, ambience, music, and synchronized audio cues.
How long are MiniMax H3 Max videos?
A single generation can run from 5 to 15 seconds. Short clips work well for shot tests, while 15 seconds can carry several ordered beats or a compact sequence.
What resolution does MiniMax H3 Max support?
MiniMax H3 Max supports 480p and 768p output. Standard MiniMax H3 is a better fit when a workflow specifically requires 2K output.
Does MiniMax H3 Max generate audio?
Yes. A prompt can describe dialogue, foley, room tone, ambience, or music so synchronized sound arrives in the same pass as the video.
Is MiniMax H3 Max the same as MiniMax H3?
No. H3 Max is optimized for fast, prompt-led output at up to 768p. Standard H3 supports 2K and a broader multimodal reference workflow.
Can I use an image with MiniMax H3 Max?
Yes. Image-to-video accepts a starting image and can also use an optional ending image. Text-to-video supports landscape, square, and portrait aspect ratios.
How are MiniMax H3 Max credits calculated?
Output costs 1 credit per second at 480p or 2 credits per second at 768p. Reference mode also adds 1 credit per image and the same per-second rate for reference video duration.
