Bring the scene to life with a slow orbital camera move, natural fabric motion, and drifting dust in the light.

How to write a MiniMax H3 Max prompt

  1. 1

    Choose text or image input

    Write a prompt on its own, or add a start image — and optionally an end frame — to anchor the clip.

  2. 2

    Describe motion precisely

    Name the subject movement, camera path, and pacing; precise language matters with prompt expansion enabled.

  3. 3

    Set format and length

    Pick an aspect ratio and a duration between 5 and 15 seconds; output renders at 768P.

  4. 4

    Iterate quickly

    Generation is fast enough to explore several motion directions before committing to a final take.

What MiniMax H3 Max responds well to

Prompt for these jobs

  • Very fast motion and camera-direction iteration
  • Animating a still image with an optional end frame
  • Short social clips in wide, square, or portrait formats
  • Low-cost drafts before a premium video model pass

Check the output for

  • Output tops out at 768P, so final masters that need 1080p should be regenerated on a higher-resolution model or upscaled.
  • Prompt expansion is on by default and can reinterpret terse prompts; set precise motion language for exact control.

Iteration is cheap here: MiniMax H3 Max costs $0.08 / second at the provider's wholesale rate, so rewriting a prompt and rerunning it is a normal part of the workflow, not a budget decision. See the full MiniMax H3 Max pricing breakdown.
