MiniMax H3 Max AI Generator
Generated on PixelDojo with MiniMax H3 Max. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
MiniMax H3 Max is a performance-tuned version of MiniMax H3, built for faster generation while keeping prompt following and the native synced audio track. We sent the same photo and the same prompt to both on September 1, 2026: H3 Max charged 10 credits and finished in about 31 seconds, against 15 credits and about 205 seconds on MiniMax H3. H3 Max renders at 768p or 480p for a flat 2 credits a second, and it gets there by dropping the 2K tier and every reference input. We ran three clips through it that afternoon and pulled frames from each one, and this page is what they showed.

MiniMax H3, 2K
A barista in a narrow espresso bar tamps a portafilter, locks it into the group head, and starts the shot, at sunrise. Low warm sunlight comes through a window on the left, steam catches the light, brushed steel and matte ceramic surfaces. Begin on a medium shot of her hands at the machine, then slowly push in to a close-up of the espresso stream. Audio: the grind of the burr, the clack of the portafilter locking in, the hiss of the pump, and quiet morning room tone.

What we ran, and what came back
The three clips we ran
One text prompt and one product photo, all on September 1, 2026. First run: a barista scene at 768p and 16:9, 5 seconds, 1344 by 768. Second run: an earbuds still animated at 768p, 5 seconds, 768 by 768. Third run: the same still and the same prompt at 480p, 480 by 480. All three came back at 24 frames per second and 5.17 seconds long, first result kept.
Flat 2 credits a second, and a start frame does not change that
H3 Max bills 2 credits per second at 768p and at 480p, so each of our runs cost 10 credits for 5 seconds. A 15 second clip is 30. Adding a start frame keeps the same rate, which is the difference that matters here: on MiniMax H3 a start frame forces the 2K tier, so the same 5 second image-to-video clip is 15 credits.
24 to 33 seconds from submission
The text-to-video run took about 24 seconds, the 768p image run about 31, and the 480p image run about 33. None of them needed the drawn out status polling the MiniMax H3 version of the same job did, which took about 205 seconds on August 26, 2026.
The 768p clip staged the lid reveal
Our source photo already shows the case open with both earbuds visible. H3 Max closed the lid over the first two seconds while the camera orbited the case, then reopened it from a new angle. The instruction to have the lid open and reveal the earbuds was staged rather than ignored.
The 480p run of the same prompt did not
Same still, same prompt, one tier down: a slow drift with the case sitting open the whole time and no lid motion, much like the 2K MiniMax H3 run from August. Two runs of one prompt, one reveal. Treat the staged reveal as something the model can do, not something it always does.
What H3 Max gives up
No 2K tier, so 768p is the ceiling. No reference images, reference videos, or reference audio either, so it works from frames only: a first frame with an optional last frame. Duration stays 5 to 15 whole seconds and the same six aspect ratios are there. In image mode the output follows the still, which is why our square photo returned a square clip at both tiers.
Three H3 Max runs on September 1, 2026, each timed from submission to finished file, with a MiniMax H3 run of the same photo and the same prompt from August 26, 2026 as the baseline.
Why Choose Pixel Dojo for MiniMax H3 Max
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
Pick H3 Max when the bill and the clock decide
10 credits and about half a minute for a 5 second clip, at 768p or 480p. It is the cheaper pick for social cuts, product motion, and any image-to-video job where paying the 2K rate is the part that hurts.
Pick MiniMax H3 when you need 2K or references
2K output, plus up to nine reference images, three reference videos, and three reference audios, at 3 credits a second at the 2K tier. Our 5 second image-to-video run there cost 15 credits and took about 205 seconds.
Both take the same prompts and both write their own audio
One prompt field of up to 7,000 characters on either model, and the same six aspect ratios. Every file from the four runs on this page carried a stereo AAC track for the full length of the clip. We probed the files and measured the levels. We did not judge how they sound.
How It Works
Reproduce the 10 credit clip:
Open the MiniMax H3 tool page and switch to H3 Max
One page carries both models. Picking H3 Max swaps the resolution choices to 768p and 480p and removes the reference inputs, because it does not accept them.
Attach a start frame and write the motion
Upload the still, then describe what should move rather than what the picture already shows. Aspect ratio comes from the image, so a square photo returns a square clip. Leave duration at the 5 second minimum for the cheapest run.
Or send one API request
POST to /api/v1/models/minimax-h3-max/run with a prompt, an image_url, and duration 5. Leave resolution out and the request pins 768p. Ours charged 10 credits and came back in about 31 seconds.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about MiniMax H3 Max
What is MiniMax H3 Max?
A performance-tuned version of MiniMax H3, built for faster generation while keeping prompt following and native synced audio. It runs text-to-video and image-to-video at 768p or 480p, 5 to 15 seconds, for a flat 2 credits a second. There is no 2K tier and it takes no reference inputs.
Is MiniMax H3 Max cheaper than MiniMax H3?
For the same clip, yes. H3 Max is 2 credits a second at either tier, so 5 seconds is 10 credits and 15 seconds is 30. MiniMax H3 is 3 credits a second at 2K and 2 at 768p, and a start frame forces the 2K rate there, so the same 5 second image-to-video clip cost us 15 credits.
Is MiniMax H3 Max faster?
It was in our runs. The three clips finished 24 to 33 seconds after submission on September 1, 2026. The MiniMax H3 run of the same photo and prompt took about 205 seconds on August 26, 2026. Both are single runs, and video turnaround moves with load.
Can I pick 480p when I start from an image?
Yes. H3 Max honors the resolution choice in image-to-video as well as text-to-video, and the price is the same either way. We ran one square still at both tiers and got 768 by 768 and 480 by 480, each following the shape of the source photo.
Does MiniMax H3 Max take reference videos or reference audio?
No. H3 Max works from frames only: a first frame, with an optional last frame. Reference images, reference videos, and reference audio belong to MiniMax H3. H3 Max still writes its own sound, and every file we probed carried a stereo track for the full length of the clip.
What does an H3 Max API request look like?
POST to /api/v1/models/minimax-h3-max/run with your API key and a prompt. Add image_url for image-to-video, duration for anything longer than 5 seconds, and resolution if you want 480p instead of the 768p default.
