MiniMax H3
Verified MiniMax H3 paper bird output
Cinematic close-up of a folded white paper bird resting on a warm wooden table. The paper bird slowly lifts its head, unfolds both wings, and takes one graceful step forward as late-afternoon sunlight moves across the wood grain. Slow camera push-in, shallow depth of field, realistic paper texture, quiet room ambience, no text, no watermark.
Use MiniMax H3 on NanoPic to turn a clearly described shot into video with sound. Begin with text, opening and closing frames, or reference images; choose 768P and 2K output with whole-second durations from 4 to 15. Validate one action before adding a longer performance or more demanding camera move. For creative shorts, separate your scene, lighting, action, and audio directions. That makes each revision easier to judge and helps preserve a visual idea without overloading a small clip.
Treat the first render as a controlled test. H3 can accept a long prompt, but a clear shot plan is easier to evaluate and revise than an overloaded paragraph.
Choose text-to-video when the scene should be invented from a brief. Choose image-to-video when an opening composition must stay recognizable, adding a closing frame only when the endpoint matters. Use reference mode for subjects, materials, or visual language spread across several pictures. First/last-frame guidance and reference-image guidance are separate workflows, not interchangeable upload slots.
Open the GeneratorDescribe the subject and environment first, then specify the action, camera path, shot progression, lighting, visual treatment, dialogue, and sound. Name which reference supplies which property instead of asking H3 to infer every relationship. Keep spoken lines short enough for the selected duration, identify the speaker, and state unwanted elements such as overlays, logos, subtitles, or watermarks as constraints.
Read the Official Prompt GuideThe default NanoPic setup uses the lowest-cost documented combination: 4 seconds, 768P, and 16:9. Review whether the subject remains stable, the action starts soon enough, the camera move is readable, and the audio matches the visible event. If the result drifts, revise one variable at a time before paying for a longer or 2K render.
Run a 4-Second DraftAfter a short render works, increase duration to give dialogue, choreography, or a transition more room. Switch to 2K only when the composition and movement are already useful. Save successful prompts and references with the task history so later versions can be compared against the settings that produced them.
Return to the GeneratorPlan picture and sound together for these workflows. Review motion, lettering, and factual accuracy before publishing any generated result.
Draft camera movement, lighting, performance, dialogue, and atmosphere before committing to a live shoot or larger production pipeline.
Animate product stills, key art, packaging, and campaign boards with controlled opening frames, closing frames, material references, and sound cues.
Use a small reference-image set to test wardrobe, palette, and appearance through a short shot. Inspect several frames instead of treating a good thumbnail as proof that the whole sequence stays consistent.
Create horizontal, square, portrait, or ultrawide drafts for ads, reels, shorts, launch teasers, and landing-page motion without relying on heavy recropping later.
Plan a compact exchange, performance, sound effect, music cue, or environmental ambience together with the visible action instead of assembling silent footage first.
Keep subject and framing instructions stable while changing one environment, lighting, or camera detail. Each result is a newly generated clip, not a region edit to an existing video.
Check the displayed requirement before submitting. These are current base-output examples without extra reference inputs; longer duration, higher resolution, and additional inputs can change the amount.
A 4-second 768P base generation uses 160 NanoPic credits; the same four seconds at 2K uses 260 credits. Fifteen seconds uses 600 credits at 768P or 975 at 2K. The first five reference images are included; each additional image adds 20 credits. Always review the requirement shown before submitting.
Check Current ControlsThe base example is not a flat price for every request. A longer or 2K render does not resolve conflicting instructions. First check subject, motion, light, and sound at the smallest setting, then increase only the parameters your finished shot needs.
Check current settingsUnderstand inputs, output settings, sound, and credit requirements before starting.
H3 is useful for short video concepts, product motion, character performances, and scenes planned with sound. Test one subject and one action first. Outputs involving exact text, brand facts, or character continuity still need frame-by-frame review.
Use a text prompt, one opening frame with an optional closing frame, or up to nine reference images. Choose the appropriate scene and follow its upload controls; frame slots and reference-image limits describe different workflows.
H3 supports 768P and 2K output with whole-second durations from 4 to 15. Text mode supports 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16. Image mode follows the uploaded frame ratio. Reference mode supports those fixed ratios plus Adaptive.
A 4-second 768P base generation uses 160 NanoPic credits; the same four seconds at 2K uses 260 credits. Fifteen seconds uses 600 credits at 768P or 975 at 2K. The first five reference images are included; each additional image adds 20 credits. Always review the requirement shown before submitting.
H3 can generate video with sound. Specify the speaker, short dialogue, ambience, and action-related effects. Open the finished output and review its soundtrack as well as its picture; the thumbnail alone cannot establish audio quality.
Start with text-to-video at 4 seconds, 768P, and 16:9. Describe one subject, one action, one camera move, the light, the audio direction, and the main constraints. Review that low-cost result before extending duration, moving to 2K, or adding multimodal references.
This page defaults to MiniMax H3. The visible model selector is the source of truth; confirm the model, scene, duration, and resolution before submitting.
Start with a clear action at four seconds and 768P, then explore frames, reference images, or 2K after reviewing the result.
Start with one readable action, then choose frames, reference images, and output settings that serve it.
Describe subject, action, environment, camera, and sound in words. Identify the speaker before dialogue and connect sound effects to visible events. Avoid asking a four-second clip to introduce several locations and complete a long exchange.
Upload one image as the opening frame, or two ordered images to define both the opening and closing states. Image mode follows the source frame geometry and therefore does not expose a separate aspect-ratio control.
Reference mode supports up to nine images. Assign a specific role to each: subject appearance, environment, material, or color treatment. Remove duplicates and conflicting directions. References guide generation; they do not guarantee pixel-identical reproduction.
Choose any whole-second duration from 4 through 15. A four-second 768P render is the lowest-cost validation pass; extend only after motion, framing, and audio direction look correct.
Use 768P for faster, lower-cost prompt testing and 2K for a higher-resolution result after the concept is stable. Resolution and duration both change the displayed credit cost before generation.
Text mode supports 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16. Reference mode can also use Adaptive. Image-to-video derives its framing from the uploaded first frame.
A useful H3 prompt reads like a compact production brief. These fields can be written as natural sentences or organized shot by shot when the clip contains several beats.
Identify each subject, visible attributes, wardrobe, materials, and what must remain consistent across the clip. For references, state which uploaded asset defines each subject.
Describe one clear action for a short draft. For longer clips, order the beats and keep dialogue or movement realistic for the available 4-15 second duration.
Name the framing and camera move: locked close-up, slow dolly, handheld follow, overhead reveal, orbit, rack focus, or another deliberate instruction. Avoid contradictory camera directions.
Define time of day, key light, palette, lens character, material response, weather, and background behavior. Use references when a look must be copied more precisely than text can express.
Name the speaker before a short line. Place a footstep, door sound, or cup contact beside the action that causes it. Avoid competing instructions for dialogue, singing, and dense music in the same short draft.
State what should not change and what should not appear. Common constraints include stable identity, readable anatomy, no duplicate subjects, no added captions, no logos, and no watermark.
Choose a model around source material, shot length, and sound needs. Compare the same core brief rather than assuming one model fits every project.
H3 supports compact audiovisual shots directed through text, first/last frames, or reference images. A four-second 768P draft is a practical starting point for checking action, composition, and sound before expanding the brief.
Generate with H3Use the NanoPic video-model hub to compare H3 with Kling, Seedance, Veo, Sora, HappyHorse, and LTX pages. Keep the same core brief, then compare motion stability, prompt adherence, audio, input modes, duration, and credit cost rather than assuming one model wins every project.
