What it does

MiniMax H3-Developer Image-to-Video, in practice.

MiniMax H3-Developer Image-to-Video brings a static image to life — with sound. Provide a first-frame image — and, optionally, a last frame — plus a prompt describing the motion. Generate native 480P or 768P video, or select an ESR tier to enhance the output to a 1080P, 1440P, or 4K short edge, complete with a synchronized soundtrack generated from the described scene.

  • Image-driven generation Animate any image with natural, controllable motion.
  • Native audio A matching soundtrack (ambient sound, effects, and music) is generated alongside the video — no separate audio input needed.
  • First & last frame control Set the opening frame, and optionally pin the closing frame for a precise transition.
  • Enhanced resolution output Generate native 480P or 768P video, or use ESR for a 1080P, 1440P, or 4K short edge.
  • Selectable duration Produce 5–15s clips.
