What it does
MiniMax H3-Developer Text-to-Video, in practice.
MiniMax H3-Developer Text-to-Video turns a single text prompt into a smooth, cinematic clip with sound. Generate native 480P or 768P video, or select an ESR tier to enhance the output to a 1080P, 1440P, or 4K short edge. Describe the scene and the action, and the model generates the video together with a synchronized soundtrack (ambient sound, effects, and music) synthesized from what you described.
- Text-driven generation Create a video from nothing but a prompt.
- Native audio A matching soundtrack is generated alongside the video — no separate audio input needed.
- Enhanced resolution output Generate native 480P or 768P video, or use ESR for a 1080P, 1440P, or 4K short edge.
- Flexible aspect ratios Choose 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1 to match your target platform.
- Selectable duration Produce 5–15s clips.

A young woman stands alone on a quiet beach during a stormy sunset, holding an old photograph in her hand. Waves crash against the shore as strong wind moves her hair and coat. She slowly looks toward the horizon, then releases the photograph into the wind. The camera begins behind her shoulder and slowly circles around to reveal her emotional expression. Dark clouds gradually open as warm sunlight breaks through.
