How to Use MiniMax H3

    Start from text, frames, or references

  2. 2

    Direct motion, camera, and sound

    Describe subject, action, camera movement, dialogue, ambience, and timing. In multimodal mode, use the composer’s tags so each file stays assigned. To edit an owned clip, name one change and what must stay the same.

    Select 4–15 seconds and 768p or 2K, confirm the complete variable credit estimate, then generate. Review identity, readable text, motion continuity, dialogue, and lip sync before publishing or iterating.

MiniMax H3 FAQs

What is MiniMax H3 (Hailuo 3.0)?

MiniMax H3, also known as Hailuo 3.0, is MiniMax’s general-purpose multimodal video model. On MixVio it creates 4–15-second videos from text, a first frame and optional last frame, or image, video, and audio references.

Is MiniMax H3 the same as Hailuo 3.0?

Yes. MiniMax H3 is the official name; Hailuo 3, Hailuo 3.0, and Hailuo H3 all refer to the same MiniMax video model. MixVio lists it as MiniMax H3 (Hailuo 3.0).

What inputs and modes does MixVio support?

Use text-to-video for a new scene, first-frame image-to-video with an optional last frame, or multimodal reference-to-video for mixed files. First/end-frame mode and multimodal mode are mutually exclusive. In multimodal mode, mention each file with @ImageN, @VideoN, or @AudioN so roles stay assigned. Prompts can be up to 7,000 characters.

How many references can I add?

Up to 9 images (≤30 MB each), 3 videos (≤50 MB each), and 3 audio clips (≤15 MB each), with no more than 12 files total. Reference video and audio may total up to 15 seconds each; audio cannot be the only reference type.

Does MiniMax H3 generate native audio?

Yes. Every MiniMax H3 generation returns video with native stereo audio in the same pass. Describe dialogue, ambience, sound effects, or music in the brief. A reference recording can guide voice or atmosphere when it is paired with an image or video. Review speech, mix, and lip sync before publishing.

Can I edit a video I already have?

Yes, as a single-shot instruction edit—not a timeline editor. Upload an owned clip in multimodal reference mode, name one change and what must stay the same, then generate. MixVio returns one new private 4–15 second video per run. First/last-frame mode cannot be combined with this path, and there is no multi-turn session editor on MixVio.

Which durations, resolutions, and ratios are supported?

MixVio supports 4–15 second output at 768p or 2K, in whole seconds. The duration you select is never lengthened or changed without confirmation. Text-to-video supports 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16. First-frame mode follows the source; multimodal mode also supports adaptive framing.

How many credits does MiniMax H3 use?

MiniMax H3 is not included on the Free plan. Paid plans reserve from 112 credits. Text-to-video runs from 112 to 675 credits. Fully loaded reference-led requests can reach 1,406 credits because reference-video seconds and images after the first five are also billable. The generator shows the exact reservation before you submit. Failed runs cost no credits.

Is MiniMax H3 free?

No. Video generation is not included on the Free plan. Paid plans quote credits from duration, resolution, and references before you submit. Failed runs cost no credits.

How does MiniMax H3 compare with Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, and Veo 3.1 Fast?

Stay on MiniMax H3 for multimodal packs, first/last frames, and instruction-led edits. Seedance 2.0 emphasizes cinematic clips with multimodal references and selectable 720p–4K. Kling 3.0 Standard offers flexible 5/10/15 second cinematic shots. Veo 3.1 Fast targets short 4K polish with native audio. Compare live credits, inputs, duration, and audio in the comparison table before generating.

Can I use MiniMax H3 videos commercially?

Yes—paid MixVio generations can be used commercially, subject to the Terms of Service and current MiniMax / serving provider terms, when you have rights to every prompt, reference, likeness, brand asset, voice, and sound direction. Completed outputs are archived privately to your MixVio workspace. Prompts and references pass MixVio moderation and Provider safety checks; some requests may be rejected. Review identity, readable text, logos, dialogue, lip sync, and audio before publishing. MixVio does not guarantee exclusivity or trademark clearance.

Can I use real faces or celebrity likenesses?

Only use faces, voices, and likenesses you own or are authorized to use. Public figures, deceptive impersonation, deepfake-style face swaps, minors, and other prohibited content can be blocked by MixVio moderation or Provider safety checks. When a request is allowed, still review identity and consent before any commercial or public use.
