MiniMax H3 workflow guide

A verified H3 workflow, without the guesswork

Choose an input path, set your output options and check the credit cost, then generate. Technical claims below link to MiniMax-owned sources.

01

Choose the right input path

Start from text when the shot exists as direction, from an image when the opening composition is already defined, or from multimodal references when identity, motion, voice or editing rhythm needs tighter guidance.

02

Set output before rendering

Choose 768P or native 2K, a 4–15 second duration, and the appropriate frame shape. Text mode offers six ratios; image mode follows the supplied frame. The generator shows the credit quote before submission.

03

Review one variable at a time

Check composition first, then motion, continuity and sound. If a result misses, revise the single instruction that controls the weakest element instead of replacing the entire directing brief.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before your first generation.

What is TryH3?

TryH3 is an AI video workflow built around MiniMax H3. Type a prompt or upload an image, review the direction, then render a clip at up to native 2K with synchronized audio.

How do credits work?

Subscription credits renew each billing period and expire at that paid period’s end. One-time credit packs remain usable for 12 months from purchase. Each generation is quoted from its model, duration, resolution, audio tier and reference inputs; failed jobs are refunded automatically.

How long and how sharp are the videos?

Clips run 4-15 seconds at up to native 2K resolution, with sound. Choose from 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 and 21:9.

Can I use my own images?

Yes. Switch to Image to Video and upload a first frame. H3 animates it while your text prompt directs the motion.

Can I use the videos commercially?

Yes. Videos generated with subscription or purchased pack credits include commercial use for ads, client work and monetized content.

How long does a generation take?

Usually 1-3 minutes depending on duration and queue load. Your video appears on the generator page as soon as it is ready.

When is MiniMax H3 the right model?

Choose H3 for short directed scenes where motion, composition and synchronized sound matter together. Use an image tool for a still result, or Reference to Video when existing image, video or audio assets must guide the shot.

How are uploads and project files handled?

Uploads are processed to provide the requested workflow and remain subject to the TryH3 Privacy Policy. Only upload material you have permission to use; contact support for account, data or deletion requests.

Direct the opening frame. Render the full scene.

Review the composition before committing credits. Continue to the full MiniMax H3 render when the direction is ready.
