What it does
MiniMax H3 Fast Reference-to-Video, in practice.
MiniMax H3 Fast Reference-to-Video keeps the subjects from your reference materials consistent throughout a clip, at the lowest cost and quickest turnaround in the H3 family. Instead of animating a fixed frame, it uses the references as identity anchors — ideal for placing a character, product, or style into new scenes and motions. References can be any mix of images, videos, and an audio track (e.g. a music beat) to sync the motion to. Output is a complete 24fps 480P clip with audio.
- Fastest, most economical tier Speed-optimized 480P generation — the quickest and cheapest way to keep subjects consistent with H3 quality.
- Subject consistency Preserve one or several people, characters, or objects' identities across the whole clip.
- Mix reference types Combine reference images, reference videos, and reference audio in a single request.
- Audio sync (optional) Provide a reference audio track and sync the action to the beat.
- Prompt-driven scenes Put the reference subjects into any scene or action you describe.
- Selectable duration Produce 5–15s clips.

Sample prompt
The prompt behind the sample.
A futuristic silver Formula-style concept race car rests on an endless mirror-like salt flat beneath a dreamy pastel sunset sky. Massive pink and lavender clouds slowly drift across the horizon, perfectly reflected on the glassy surface below. The camera begins with an extremely low-angle wide shot, slowly dollying toward the car, then smoothly transitions into a cinematic orbit around the vehicle, revealing its sculpted aerodynamic body, polished chrome surfaces, exposed wheels, and flawless reflection. Subtle wind creates delicate ripples across the reflective ground while clouds move slowly

How do I use MiniMax H3 Fast Reference-to-Video?
Supply the first frame and describe only the motion. The still is the contract: identity, wardrobe, light and framing stay, so keep the prompt about camera and movement, not about changing the subject. Aspect ratio should match the still.
