Prompts are included when the production record allows them. ### Motion study “A dancer turns slowly through shafts of window light in an empty rehearsal studio, dust drifting, the camera orbiting at waist height.” ### Image-to-video “Bring the scene to life with a slow orbital camera move, natural fabric motion, and drifting dust in the light.” ### Creative scene “Close-up of espresso pouring into a glass cup in warm morning light, steam curling, a slow push-in on the crema.” ![Start frame of a dancer in a rehearsal studio supplied to MiniMax H3 Max](https://www.made.app/images/models/minimax-h3-max/still-01.jpg) ### Start-frame control “Use this image as the opening composition.” ![Espresso pour still used to direct a MiniMax H3 Max clip](https://www.made.app/images/models/minimax-h3-max/still-02.jpg) ### Scene direction “Establish the framing and light before describing the motion.” ![Skateboarder at a concrete bowl at dusk, a composition brief for MiniMax H3 Max](https://www.made.app/images/models/minimax-h3-max/still-03.jpg) ### Composition brief “Plan the shot as a still, then hand the motion to the model.” ## How to write a MiniMax H3 Max prompt 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. **Describe motion precisely** Name the subject movement, camera path, and pacing; precise language matters with prompt expansion enabled. 3. **Set format and length** Pick an aspect ratio, a duration between 5 and 15 seconds, and 480P, 768P, or 1080P; Made starts at 480P, the cheapest. 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 - 1080P costs twice the 768P rate per second, so draft at 480P, the default, and render finals at the tier you need. - 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 from 5 credits / second, so rewriting a prompt and rerunning it is a normal part of the workflow, not a budget decision.

[Contact support](mailto:support@made.app) ### What is MiniMax H3 Max? It is a post-trained variant of the MiniMax H3 video model tuned for prompt adherence and aesthetics, optimized to generate short clips in seconds. ### How long can clips be? Made exposes 5 to 15 second durations and starts at 5 seconds, the shortest. ### Can I animate an existing image? Yes. Add a start image and describe the motion. An optional end frame can guide where the clip lands. ### Why does my clip differ from a terse prompt? The provider applies balanced prompt expansion by default, which fills in unspecified details. Write explicit motion and camera language for tighter control. ### Is 1080p available? Yes. Pick 1080P for twice the 768P per-second rate; Made starts at 480P, the cheapest. ### When should I choose H3 Max over other video models? Choose it when iteration speed and cost matter most — drafting motion ideas, testing camera directions, or producing quick social clips.
