Create a new five-second animated portrait from the supplied starting picture. Preserve this adult fictional character, hairstyle, face and visual style. Add a small natural head movement and a gentle change in stage light, keeping the camera steady. Use the selected performance film as inspiration for a new portrait shot.

About

Start from an image when the opening already contains the visual idea: a product scene, a portrait or an illustrated environment. MiniMax H3 Max starts from the supplied image and offers Standard or Turbo for this operation. Describe one movement and the sound around it, then choose 5–15 seconds and output through 1080p. Audio is included, so a quiet scene still benefits from a clear sound brief. Inspect the source subject across the clip, particularly faces, product shapes and lettering that may change as the subject or camera moves.

Questions

How does MiniMax H3 Max use my image?

It supplies the start frame. Prepare the image for your intended frame, check any available aspect setting and inspect the output crop. Describe the movement that should follow. Use Reference to Video when the picture should guide a new scene rather than supply its opening.

Is image-to-video available on Turbo?

Yes. The current configuration supports image-to-video on Standard and Turbo. Reference-to-video is a separate operation and is not supported on Turbo.

How do I choose length and output size?

Choose 5–15 seconds and 480p, 720p or 1080p. Prepare the source composition for the intended placement, then inspect the generated clip at its display size.

Can I request no generated sound?

MiniMax H3 Max always includes audio. Describe restrained ambience when it suits the scene; remove or replace the soundtrack in editing if the final use needs silence.

What should I check for a person or product?

Compare identifying features, proportions, labels and edges with the source throughout the clip. Focus the requested motion and inspect the result rather than assuming the first image locks every later detail.
