About

MiniMax H3 and H3 Max both support 5–15-second clips, image-led framing, up to nine reference images and generated audio that is always included. The important configuration differences are output size and tiers. H3 offers a single Standard tier with output through 4K, including a 2K option. H3 Max offers Standard and Turbo and stops at 1080p; its reference-to-video operation requires Standard. For a product reveal, choose the operation and delivery format first, then compare the product details, camera movement and sound in the actual clips.
