About
For creators planning a scene for a landscape screen, a vertical feed or a square placement, MiniMax H3 offers several output formats and includes audio with the picture. Start from a written scene or animate an image. In Image to Video, the output follows the source image’s aspect, so prepare the composition before uploading. This page keeps H3 selected while you explore the shot and review its available settings.
Questions
Can MiniMax H3 start from text or an image?
Yes. Describe a scene for Text to Video, or add a start image and describe its movement for Image to Video.
Can I make both vertical and landscape clips?
Yes. Choose an available aspect ratio before framing the scene. Plan separate compositions when a subject needs to work in substantially different screen shapes.
Should I choose H3 or H3 Max for a larger output?
Compare their resolution options directly. Their catalogs differ, and the word Max does not by itself tell you the output size. Use the model whose available settings match your delivery requirement.
Can I turn off the generated audio?
H3’s current model configuration includes audio automatically. It does not use the Seedance audio on/off setting. Review the generated audio alongside the picture before using it.
What happens to my image’s aspect ratio?
In Image to Video, H3 follows the source image’s aspect. Prepare the image for the composition you want, then compare the opening and later frames with the original.
