MiniMax H3 AI Video Generator
MiniMax H3 — also known as Hailuo 3 — generates native 2K video with stereo audio in the same pass, in 4-15 second clips. Generate online free.
Key Features of MiniMax H3
Native 2K detail, sound that arrives with the picture, and a clip length built for iteration.
Native 2K at 24fps
MiniMax H3 renders 2K at 24fps in a single pass instead of upscaling a smaller frame, so small text, product labels and material texture survive the encode.
Stereo Audio, Same Pass
Dialogue, ambience, foley and music are generated alongside the frames — not dubbed on afterwards, and never billed as a separate extra.
MiniMax H3, aka Hailuo 3
MiniMax released H3 on 30 July 2026 and sells it to consumers as Hailuo 3.0 — the same model this page runs.
Six Ratios, 21:9 to 9:16
One model covers ultrawide cinema framing, landscape feeds, square product shots and vertical social cuts — pick the ratio before you write.
4-15 Second Takes
Long enough to carry a two-beat sequence, short enough to iterate. Draft on cheap 768P takes, then re-render the keepers at 2K.
First Frame to Motion
Upload one still as the opening frame and describe where the subject and the camera go next. The clip inherits your image's aspect ratio.
What MiniMax H3 is good at
The jobs MiniMax H3 handles best — what to reach for it when the clip needs to ship with sound.
Native stereo audio
Every clip arrives with generated sound — ambience, foley, dialogue and music — with no separate audio pass and no extra charge.
Speed at a low rate
768P costs 8 credits per second, the cheapest audio-native tier on GenPix; 2K is 13.
Native 2K detail
Generate at 2K directly rather than upscaling a small render, so fine detail still holds on a large screen.
Social-first framing
21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16 come out of one model, so a single prompt can serve six placements.
Fast concept tests
Cheap, quick takes make it easy to try three directions before committing a heavier model to the keeper.
Sound-led scenes
Write the ambience into the prompt and H3 scores the clip as it renders — footsteps, weather, machinery, crowd.
How to prompt MiniMax H3
Treat the prompt like a shot list: what we hear, what the camera does, then how it is framed. H3 fills in the frames between.
- 1
Write the sound in
H3 has no audio switch — sound is generated with the picture. So name what the scene should sound like: rain on glass, a crowd behind the subject, a low engine hum.
- 2
Name the camera move
Say the move rather than the mood: "slow push-in from the doorway", "handheld follow behind the runner". Camera language shapes the shot more than adjectives do.
- 3
Choose the ratio first
21:9 for cinema, 16:9 for landscape feeds, 9:16 for vertical. The ratio decides how you should frame the subject before you write a word.
- 4
Draft at 768P, finish at 2K
Lock the shot on 8-credit 768P takes, then re-render only the keepers at 2K for the final cut.
- 5
First frame, or first + last
Upload one still as the opening frame; add an end frame and the clip travels from one to the other.

MiniMax H3 FAQ
What people ask before their first clip on MiniMax H3.
What is MiniMax H3?
It is MiniMax's video model, released on 30 July 2026 and marketed to consumers as Hailuo 3.0. It outputs clips of up to 15 seconds at native 2K, with stereo audio generated in the same pass as the picture.
Is MiniMax H3 the same as Hailuo 3?
Yes. H3 is the developer's internal name and Hailuo 3.0 — sometimes written Hailuo 03 — is the consumer-facing brand. Both refer to the same model.
Is MiniMax H3 free to use on GenPix?
You get free credits when you sign up, which covers a first short clip. After that it is billed per second of output: a 5-second 768P clip is 40 credits.
Does MiniMax H3 generate audio?
Yes, and there is no separate audio pass or switch. Dialogue, ambience, foley and music are generated together with the frames, and audio is not charged as an extra.
What resolution and frame rate does MiniMax H3 output?
768P and 2K. The 2K tier is native — rendered at generation time at 24fps rather than upscaled from a smaller frame.
How long can a MiniMax H3 clip be?
Between 4 and 15 seconds, set with the slider in the prompt box. That covers everything from a single social beat to a two-part product sequence.
Which aspect ratios does MiniMax H3 support?
Six: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16. That spans ultrawide cinema framing through to vertical social cuts.
How much does a MiniMax H3 video cost?
It is billed per second of output. 768P costs 8 credits per second and 2K costs 13. A 5-second 768P clip is 40 credits; the same clip at 2K is 65.
Can I use my own images as the first and last frame?
Yes. Upload one image as the opening frame and describe the motion, or add a second one as the end frame and the clip transitions between the two. Either way it follows the aspect ratio of your image.
What is MiniMax H3 best at?
Sound-led work with a fast turnaround: social clips, ad variants and product shots where a finished audio bed and a quick render matter more than 4K.
