Shot recipes

MiniMax H3 video generator starting points

A strong result begins with one visible action and a deliberate camera decision. These MiniMax H3 video generator recipes show how portrait, product, and narrative ideas can become practical briefs. Remix a recipe to load its mode, prompt, aspect ratio, and duration into the studio.

A six-second vertical MiniMax H3 text-to-video example with a cinematic passenger portrait, moving streetlight, realistic skin, and a slow camera push-in.01 / Text to video

Neon passenger portrait

A woman sits in the back seat of a car at night as warm streetlights travel across her face. The camera makes a slow, intimate push-in; city lights remain soft bokeh behind her; restrained movement, realistic skin, cinematic silence.

Workshop product reveal

Begin from the supplied motorcycle frame. Use a slow lateral dolly while warm workshop lights wake across the chrome and fuel tank. Preserve the motorcycle geometry and branding; add subtle atmospheric dust and a controlled premium advertising pace.

Festival memory sequence

Use the reference images to preserve the character, festival palette, lanterns, and firework atmosphere. Let the subject turn toward the sky while the camera rises gently, revealing layered fireworks and a lively street without changing her identity.

Three ways to direct

Choose a MiniMax H3 video generator workflow

The same idea needs different controls depending on what must stay fixed. The MiniMax H3 video generator separates blank-canvas prompting, frame-to-frame motion, and multi-image reference guidance so the input matches the creative problem instead of forcing every shot through one generic form.

01

Text to video

Start without source artwork. Describe the subject, action, environment, camera path, lighting, sound, and pace. This workflow is best for exploration, establishing shots, surreal concepts, and scenes where composition can remain open to interpretation.

PromptNew scene
02

First and last frames

Lock the opening image and optionally define the final image. The MiniMax H3 video generator creates the movement between them, making this mode useful for planned transitions, product turns, pose changes, and shots with a specific destination.

1–2 framesDirected transition
03

Reference-guided video

Upload one to five images that describe identity, wardrobe, objects, location, or visual language. Reference mode gives the MiniMax H3 video generator more evidence to preserve recurring details while still creating a new composition and motion path.

1–5 referencesConsistent motion

About the generator

What is the MiniMax H3 video generator?

The MiniMax H3 video generator turns a written scene direction or visual inputs into a short AI-generated video. Use Text to Video for a scene from scratch, Image to Video for controlled first and optional last frames, or Reference Video with up to five images for identity, style, subjects, and scene guidance.

The MiniMax H3 video generator keeps production choices visible before you spend credits. Select a landscape, portrait, square, or cinematic frame; set a duration from 4 to 15 seconds; and choose an available HD or 2K output. Credit cost updates with duration and resolution. Once submitted, the task continues in the background, so you can leave the page and return to the private history when the finished video is stored.

Prompt guide

Write prompts for the MiniMax H3 video generator

Treat every MiniMax H3 video generator prompt as a compact shot brief. Concrete, visible direction gives the model more useful information than a pile of style adjectives. State what the viewer sees first, what changes during the clip, how the camera observes the action, which details must remain stable, and how sound or atmosphere should support the scene.

Subject + visible action + environment + camera movement + lighting + visual style + intended pace

Four details worth specifying

  • 01Name the main subject and the details that must stay recognizable throughout the shot.
  • 02Describe one clear action with a beginning and an end instead of combining several unrelated events.
  • 03Identify the face, clothing, product geometry, colors, or environmental details that must remain consistent from beginning to end.
  • 04Choose a camera behavior such as a slow push-in, tracking shot, orbit, handheld follow, or locked frame.
  • 05Define the setting, time of day, light direction, color palette, and pace to keep the scene visually coherent.
