Why Make Videos with MiniMax H3 on Yovid

Native 2K, Not an Upscale

Most video models finish at 1080p and leave the rest to an upscaler that has to guess at missing detail. MiniMax H3 takes a different route: it renders a draft and then regenerates it at 2K with the original prompt and references still in view, which is why fine texture and small lettering survive.

On Yovid, 2K is the only H3 output. There is no lower tier to pick and nothing to upscale afterwards, so the file you download is the file you deliver.

Native 2K, Not an Upscale – MiniMax H3
Input
MiniMax H3 logoMiniMax H3
Prompt (abridged): @Image 1: Push in rapidly toward the milk foam, cocoa particles, and dark liquid texture on the coffee until particles, bubbles, and ripples fill the frame. At the exact moment when the cocoa particles, foam contours, and coffee swirl closely resemble the dune ridges, wind-carved textures, and airborne sand in @Image 2, transition seamlessly into the desert landscape. Continue pushing forward until the full dunes from @Image 2 are revealed. (MiniMax H3 · 16:9 · 15s · 2K)

Stereo Sound from the Same Pass

MiniMax trained H3 on video and audio together, with voice, sound effects and music modelled jointly rather than by three separate systems. Each result arrives as a stereo mix that already follows the action on screen.

Sound is always on for H3 on Yovid, so treat it as part of the prompt: name the room tone, the footsteps, the song or the silence you want. The example below is MiniMax’s own text-to-video demo, a single first-person take with its soundtrack included.

Stereo Sound from the Same Pass – MiniMax H3
MiniMax H3 logoMiniMax H3
Prompt (abridged): 15 seconds, 16:9 landscape. Combine a live-action late-night laundromat with hand-drawn luminous animation. The small self-service laundromat has gently flickering fluorescent lights, running washers, plastic baskets, a worn bench, and one sock on the floor. Keep the space quiet and faintly nostalgic. (MiniMax H3 · 16:9 · 15s · 2K)

Pin the First Frame, the Last Frame or Both

Give H3 an opening image and the clip starts exactly there; give it a closing image and the shot lands on it; give it both and the prompt only has to describe the journey. On Yovid an end frame on its own works too, which helps when you know where a scene must finish but not how it opens.

Frame-based clips take their shape from the image you upload, so crop the frame to the ratio you want before you start. The trailer below is MiniMax’s example for this mode.

Pin the First Frame, the Last Frame or Both – MiniMax H3
Input
Start frame
MiniMax H3 logoMiniMax H3
Prompt (abridged): Keep the pace fast and the scale enormous without letting the edit drag. Use sharp hard cuts, a shaking command deck, white-hot flashes, split-second black frames, and a violent jump-to-warp impact. Title cards should use wide-tracked cinematic typography—not pure white—with restrained material texture, subtle illumination, and a faint edge glow. (MiniMax H3 · 16:9 · 15s · 2K)

Steer a Shot with 9 Images and 3 Videos

In reference mode H3 reads up to 9 images and 3 video clips together with your text. Say what each file is for, such as "the character in image 1", "the camera move from reference video 1" or "the palette of image 3", and H3 works out the rest of the relationship from your wording.

Reference clips run 2 to 15 seconds each. MiniMax’s own API also accepts voice or music clips as references; Yovid does not offer audio references for H3 yet.

Steer a Shot with 9 Images and 3 Videos – MiniMax H3
Input
MiniMax H3 logoMiniMax H3
Prompt (abridged): A 16:9 high-fashion brand campaign. Image 1: mood, setting, film grain. Image 2: character. Image 3: bag. Image 4: ending logo. Core story: on a desert highway beside a vintage car, the woman takes a black bag from the trunk, shares a brief quiet moment with the man, then leaves. Tone premium and cool; edit agile and fashion-forward. (MiniMax H3 · 16:9 · 15s · 2K)

Titles, Posters and Interfaces with Legible Type

MiniMax built H3 for design-heavy work, and accurate text and brand rendering is one of the strengths it calls out. Opening credits, poster headlines, menu screens and product labels hold their letterforms from frame to frame.

Put the exact words in quotes, say where they sit in the frame and keep each line short. The title sequence below, from MiniMax’s H3 cookbook, was built from five storyboard frames and mixes English credits with Japanese katakana.

Titles, Posters and Interfaces with Legible Type – MiniMax H3
Input
MiniMax H3 logoMiniMax H3
Prompt (abridged): Create a 15-second, 16:9 opening-title sequence for a stylish crime mystery. Draw from retro Japanese animation titles, hard-edged silhouettes, comic-book collage, asymmetric split screens, bold geometric color fields, English credit typography, sparse katakana accents, and a noir-jazz sensibility. (MiniMax H3 · 16:9 · 15s · 2K)

Ad-Ready Product and Fashion Spots

Advertising, branding and e-commerce are the uses MiniMax lists first for H3. A single generation can move from a macro product shot to a full look and close on a clean brand card, with the cut timing and the music carried by the model.

For product work, upload clear photos of the item as references so its shape, colour and logo placement stay put, and choose 9:16 for social placements or 16:9 for the web.

Ad-Ready Product and Fashion Spots – MiniMax H3
Input
MiniMax H3 logoMiniMax H3
Prompt (abridged): 9:16 high-fashion eyewear commercial on a minimal white cyc. Image 1: two full-body female models. Image 2: facial details. Image 3: eyewear design — wrap-around curves, sharp cat-eye/goggle hybrid silhouettes, mirror reflections, streamlined temples. Keep the runway attitude and cool demeanor.

Who MiniMax H3 Works Best For

Native 2K and readable type make H3 a fit for work that ends up on big screens or carries words. These are the jobs it suits best:

  • Brand and e-commerce teams: Product reveals and campaign spots with the item pinned by reference photos and the music generated in the same pass.
  • Motion and title designers: Opening credits, animated posters and kinetic type where every letter has to stay legible.
  • Filmmakers and trailer editors: Teasers and pitch shots that start or end on a frame you already designed.
  • Social creators: Vertical 9:16 clips rendered at 2K, for feeds where a sharp first frame decides the scroll.
  • Game and app studios: Menu screens, character turnarounds and UI motion concepts before anything is built.

  • Café street song

    Text to video · 16:9 · 7 s

    A young woman with curly hair and freckles sits at a wicker café table on a sunny European street, a glass of coffee in front of her. She closes her eyes and sings a soft soul ballad straight to camera, one hand keeping time. Handheld medium close-up, warm afternoon light, quiet street chatter under her voice.

  • Collectible toy poster

    Text to video · 9:16 · 10 s

    An animated vertical poster on an off-white background. A pink panel slides in behind the bold headline "POPUP!", then a 3D collectible figure in a fuzzy pink dinosaur hoodie bursts toward the camera, one paw reaching out of the frame. Small print reads "SERIES 001" in the corner. Clean graphic design, playful pop sound effects.

  • Cappuccino to dunes

    Text to video · 16:9 · 15 s

    Macro shot of cocoa powder sprinkled onto a cappuccino in a cozy café. The camera slowly dives into the foam until its ripples become wind-carved sand dunes, then rises over a vast desert at sunrise. One continuous move, warm brown tones, soft wind replacing the café murmur.

  • Sci-fi teaser

    Text to video · 16:9 · 15 s

    A dark sci-fi teaser. An officer in a navy uniform stands alone at the giant observation window of a starship as a fleet drifts past a nebula. Slow push-in to her profile, then cut to black. Thin title cards fade in: "THE LAST FLEET LEFT EARTH". Low drones, a distant engine hum, a single held breath.

  • Laundromat turns neon

    Text to video · 16:9 · 15 s

    First-person POV in an empty late-night laundromat. A glowing purple lint ball floats out of a dryer, a cartoon jellyfish and a sock drawn in light lead the way between the machines, and as the camera reaches the end of the room everything turns into a neon wireframe drawing on a starry blue background. Hum of washers, soft magical chimes.

    Try this prompt

  • Gecko macro

    Text to video · 16:9 · 6 s

    An extreme macro shot of a crested gecko’s head against a pure black background. The camera holds still on the slit-pupil eye and the spiny crest, every orange-and-cream scale in focus, as the gecko slowly licks its lips. Studio lighting, shallow depth of field, near silence.

FAQs

What is MiniMax H3?

MiniMax H3 is MiniMax’s general-purpose multimodal video model, launched on July 31, 2026. It reads text, images, video and audio as one context and generates short clips at up to 2K with native stereo sound. On Yovid it runs in the browser next to Seedance, Kling, Wan, Veo and other models.

Is MiniMax H3 the same as Hailuo 3?

Yes. MiniMax H3 is the official name; Hailuo 3, Hailuo H3 and H3 all refer to the same model, the generation that follows Hailuo 02. If you are looking for Hailuo 2.3, Yovid runs H3 in its place.

Can I use MiniMax H3 for free?

Signing up is free and includes credits for the free-plan models. MiniMax H3 renders only at 2K, which is available on Pro, Premium and one-time credit packs, so you need one of those to generate with it. H3 videos download without a watermark.

How many credits does a MiniMax H3 video cost?

At base rates H3 costs about 4.55 credits per second at 2K: about 23 credits for 5 seconds and 68 for 15. Seconds of reference video are billed on top of the output, and each reference image after the fifth adds about 1.4 credits. Subscribers pay less per job, and the composer shows the exact quote first.

What resolution and length does MiniMax H3 support?

On Yovid every H3 clip is 2K and 5 to 15 seconds long, in whole seconds. Text and reference clips come in 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 or 9:16; clips that start from a frame follow the uploaded image. MiniMax’s own API also lists a 768p tier, which Yovid does not offer.

Does MiniMax H3 generate audio?

Yes. Every clip comes with stereo sound generated together with the picture, including speech, effects and music. Sound cannot be turned off on Yovid, so describe the soundtrack you want, or the quiet you want, in the prompt.

A first frame, a last frame or both, or, in reference mode, up to 9 images and 3 video clips of 2 to 15 seconds each. Images can be JPG, PNG or WebP up to 30 MB; videos up to 50 MB. Mention each file in the prompt, for example "image 1" or "reference video 1". Audio references are not available on Yovid yet.

MiniMax H3 vs Seedance 2.5: which should I use?

Can I use MiniMax H3 videos commercially?

Yes. Pro, Premium and one-time credit packs, the options that unlock H3, all include commercial use. You remain responsible for the rights to your prompts and references, including faces, brands and music.

Is MiniMax H3 available through the Yovid API?
