MiniMax H3 · Hailuo 03

Direct the whole scene.

Turn a written idea into a 2K video with synchronized stereo sound. H3 understands text, image, video, and audio references in one creative context—so picture, movement, voice, and edit share the same direction.

The H3 difference

One model. One creative context.

Picture, motion, and sound stay in the same conversation. The result is a workflow that feels closer to directing than assembling.

01

Write the shot

Describe subject, action, camera, atmosphere, and sound in natural language. H3 translates the brief into high-resolution video without splitting creative intent across separate tools.

Text → 2K
02

Reference anything

Use images for identity and composition, video for performance or camera language, and audio for voice, rhythm, or ambience. Each reference contributes to the same generation context.

4 input types
03

Sound belongs in the frame

Generate dialogue, ambience, music, and spatial sound with the picture. Native stereo lets audible events respond to movement instead of arriving as an unrelated post-production layer.

Native L + R
04

Borrow the movement

Transfer the motion logic of a performance or camera move into a new subject and visual world. Use it for choreography, character acting, product movement, and complex blocking.

Motion transfer
05

Change only what matters

Make a focused revision to an object, performance, camera decision, or sound detail while preserving the context that already works. Iteration becomes a precision pass, not a restart.

Precise edit

How it works

From words to final frame.

Build the shot in three deliberate passes. Clear direction first; references only where they add useful control.

I

Write the direction

Describe what happens, how the camera sees it, and what the audience should hear. Put actions in order when timing matters.

II

Add useful references

Anchor the look with an image, communicate movement with video, or guide voice and rhythm with audio. Every reference should clarify the brief.

III

Review and refine

Judge picture and sound together, then request one focused change. Keep the strongest parts of the take intact.

Direction system

One brief, four kinds of control.

Move from pure text direction to referenced performance without leaving the same creative context.

Prompt blueprint
Subject + ordered action + camera + texture + sound + final beat.
01

Scene direction

Set subject, environment, action, lens, lighting, mood, and audible events in the prompt.

02

Visual reference

Anchor wardrobe, product design, character identity, composition, or art direction with still images.

03

Motion and audio reference

Guide choreography, camera travel, timing, voice, rhythm, music, or ambience using a reference clip.

04

Precision pass

Preserve the take and change one decision: quieter rain, a slower push-in, a different prop, or a cleaner final beat.

Built for production thinking

Make the idea visible—and audible.

Use H3 when a written idea needs to become something a team can see, hear, compare, and improve.

Campaign / 01

Campaign previsualization

Turn a treatment into a reviewable 2K concept with picture and sound. Explore product movement, locations, voice, and camera choices before a full production commitment.

Narrative / 02

Story and performance

Prototype dialogue, character movement, atmosphere, and shot rhythm together. References make performance details easier to communicate than text alone.

Social / 03

Short-form production

Create complete vertical or landscape moments for social campaigns. Native audio makes each take easier to judge as a finished piece instead of a silent draft.

Motion / 04

Movement exploration

Transfer dance, action, camera, or object motion into a new visual direction. Test timing and energy quickly, then refine the strongest version.

Questions, answered

Before the first take.

What to know about text-to-video, references, audio, resolution, motion transfer, and editing.

What is MiniMax H3?

MiniMax H3 is a multimodal video generation model, also known as Hailuo 03. It understands text, image, video, and audio in a unified context and generates high-resolution video with native stereo sound.

Can H3 generate video from text only?

Yes. Text-to-video is the simplest way to start. Describe the subject, ordered action, camera, atmosphere, and sound. Image, video, and audio references are optional ways to add more control.

What makes H3 different from earlier Hailuo models?

H3 brings picture and sound into one multimodal generation workflow. In addition to text and image prompting, it is designed for video and audio references, native stereo output, motion transfer, and focused editing.

Does MiniMax H3 generate audio?

Yes. H3 generates native stereo sound with the video, including scene ambience, dialogue, music, and spatial audio cues when requested in the prompt.

What resolution does H3 support?

MiniMax H3 supports video generation up to 2K. Available aspect ratio, duration, and quality options can vary by product surface and generation mode.

Can H3 transfer movement from another video?

Yes. Motion transfer uses a reference video to communicate choreography, performance timing, object motion, or camera language and applies that movement logic to a new visual direction.

Can I edit an H3 generation?

Yes. H3 supports focused editing instructions for visual, motion, camera, and audio details. State what should change and what must remain intact.

Can I use generated videos commercially?

Paid plans that include commercial usage can cover advertising, client projects, marketing content, and social monetization. Review the current plan terms before publishing because licensing can vary by product surface and region.
