MiniMax H3 Max

High-throughput video generation, superior prompt fidelity, and native synchronized stereo audio

MiniMax H3 Max API: Fast Video Generation with Native Audio

Access MiniMax H3 Max API instantly on PoYo—no waitlist required. Experience faster-than-real-time generation, exceptional prompt adherence, and native synchronized stereo audio in a single pass.

Create 5–15 second cinematic videos at 480p, 768p, or 1080p with flexible text-to-video, first/last frame guidance, and multimodal reference workflows.

Key Features of MiniMax H3 Max API

Production-ready features for high-throughput video generation, superior prompt fidelity, native audio workflows, and precision frame control.

01

MiniMax H3 Max API: Short-Scene Generation

The Last Signal follows a station attendant lifting his lantern as the final train leaves a rainy platform. This 5-second, 768p request used the same prompt as the Turbo example. The recorded test took 21 seconds from task creation to completion and cost 80 credits; timings vary with queue and service conditions.

  • Same scene and parameters for both models
  • Recorded task timing and actual credits
  • Results vary with queue and service conditions

02

MiniMax H3 Max API for Superior Prompt Fidelity and Cinematic Camera Control

Lost on the Platform follows a brass pocket watch as it drops, rolls through a puddle and is caught at the platform edge. The 8-second, 21:9 example uses a low tracking camera to stage an ordered action with water, weight and a clear resolution. The 1080p tier returned a 2200 × 942 widescreen file.

  • High fidelity to subjects, actions, and scene details
  • Controlled camera motion and natural scene physics
  • Flexible aspect ratios from cinematic 21:9 to vertical 9:16

03

MiniMax H3 Max API for Native Stereo Audio and Synchronized Lip-Sync

Someone Answers begins with a single reference image of the lighthouse keeper. The 8-second, 1080p close-up prompts the line “I can see your light.” followed by a distant foghorn, combining restrained facial performance with native dialogue and environmental sound.

  • One-pass generation of video and native stereo audio
  • Reliable lip-sync on character dialogue
  • Contextual environmental ambiance and sound effects

04

MiniMax H3 Max API for Precise First-and-Last Frame and Reference Guidance

Homeward combines two reference images with a 2-second, 24fps video and 32kHz audio excerpt from the lighthouse story. The keeper steps outside and watches a boat approach through the beam. This 10-second, 768p example demonstrates multimodal guidance separately from the default first/last-frame scene. Reference fees are calculated by the server in addition to base output credits.

  • Anchor camera motion with first and optional last frames
  • Condition scenes on image, video, and audio references
  • Ensure seamless shot transitions and character continuity

Frequently Asked Questions about MiniMax H3 Max API

What is MiniMax H3 Max and how does it differ from base H3?

MiniMax H3 Max is an optimized post-trained variant of MiniMax's H3 (Hailuo 03) video engine, tuned for significantly faster throughput and stronger prompt adherence while maintaining native stereo audio. It focuses on 480p, 768p, and 1080p high-speed output, whereas base H3 provides native 2K resolution.

How fast is MiniMax H3 Max video generation?

The Last Signal follows a station attendant lifting his lantern as the final train leaves a rainy platform. This 5-second, 768p request used the same prompt as the Turbo example. The recorded test took 21 seconds from task creation to completion and cost 80 credits; timings vary with queue and service conditions.

What resolutions, durations, and aspect ratios are supported?

The model supports 480p, 768p, and 1080p resolutions, integer durations between 5 and 15 seconds, and 6 standard aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, and 21:9 (with adaptive ratio supported in reference mode).

Does the API generate native audio and lip-sync?

Yes. MiniMax H3 Max synthesizes native stereo audio, ambient sound effects, and character speech synced directly with the video in a single pass, featuring reliable lip-sync on dialogue without requiring separate audio models.

How do first/last frame control and reference media work?

Image-to-video accepts a first frame and an optional last frame. Reference mode requires at least one reference image, allows up to 9 images, 3 videos and 3 audio files, and accepts at most 12 assets combined. Reference images must use 1:1, 4:3/3:4, 16:9/9:16 or 5:2/2:5. Videos require constant 24fps, 16:9 or 9:16, square pixels and no rotation metadata; after clipping to the output duration, only 48/120/240/360 frames are supported. Audio requires 32kHz and a sample count divisible by 800, with no clipping to output duration. Each video or audio file must be 2–15 seconds; videos and audio each have a separate combined limit of 15 seconds. The server validates media before submission.

Can I use generated videos commercially and what is the pricing?

Yes, all videos generated through PoYo API can be used for commercial production. Pricing is based on output duration and resolution: 10 credits/sec for 480p, 16 credits/sec for 768p, and 32 credits/sec for 1080p, with 4,096 free reference tokens included per request.
