How to create a video with MiniMax H3
A clear input makes a short generation easier to review. Keep the first attempt narrow, then change one variable at a time.
- 01
Write a focused scene prompt
Name the subject, action, location, lighting, camera movement, and intended mood. Avoid packing unrelated scenes into one short clip.
- 02
Add image references when needed
Use an image reference when appearance, palette, or framing matters. Give each image a clear job and confirm that you have permission to use it.
- 03
Choose settings and review
Select 4–15 seconds and a supported ratio, submit the task, then check motion, identity, text, sound, and rights before publishing.

Prompt patterns for MiniMax H3
Build a clear prompt by stating what should move, what should stay stable, and where the camera is placed.
Product movement
16:9 · 5 seconds · 768p
A matte black travel bottle on a pale stone table. A slow camera arc from left to right, one soft highlight moving across the cap, clean studio background, stable product shape, no added text or logos.
Useful for checking shape stability, camera pacing, and unwanted details.
Vertical atmosphere
9:16 · 5 seconds · 768p
A cyclist pauses beside a quiet city canal at blue hour, then looks toward lights reflected in the water. Vertical composition, gentle handheld motion, natural clothing movement, restrained color grade.
Keep the subject and one action central when the frame is tall.
Reference-led motion
1:1 · 6 seconds · one image reference
Use the reference image for the subject's colors and silhouette. The subject turns slowly toward camera while the background remains calm and softly lit. Preserve the main shape; no new people, signs, or captions.
Use the reference to define composition, subject, or style, then describe the motion you want.
