Create a new five-second shot connecting the two supplied pictures. Start from the first picture and arrive at the second selected picture, preserving the adult headset wearer, clothing, stairwell and camera direction. Use a small continuous door-opening movement. Use these two selected pictures as the new shot's starting and ending frames.

He knew this door led downstairs. He opened it and died below. Footage shows him leave a safety marker, then curve towards the stairwell without visibly turning. Tracking was normal. The new build promised to steer him to safety. Why did it steer him here?

About

Use a prepared opening and ending when a product reveal, shift of light or camera move needs a destination. MiniMax H3 First & Last Frame uses both image inputs and a transition brief. Keep the crops and important details compatible, then describe how the scene gets from one to the other. The model supports 5–15 seconds and includes generated audio. Choose output through 4K and use the sound brief to support the movement. Review the intermediate frames as carefully as the endpoints.

Questions

Which inputs does this operation require?

Upload a start image and an end image in their required roles, then describe the movement between them. A reference image supplies guidance and does not replace either required endpoint.

How do I prepare a product reveal?

Keep the product outline and identifying details consistent across the images. Explain the camera path, reveal and pace. Use compatible crops so the transition does not depend on unexplained framing changes.

Can I generate a silent transition?

MiniMax H3 includes audio and has no off setting. Describe relevant ambience or action sounds, then remove or replace the soundtrack in editing if needed.

How long can the transition be?

The model supports 5–15 seconds with 480p, 720p, 2K or 4K output. Fit the movement to that time and inspect whether it reaches the intended ending.

Do the endpoints keep everything unchanged in between?

Review changing shapes, extra objects and unwanted cuts across the full clip. The images and prompt guide the transition; endpoints alone do not establish exact preservation of the middle frames.
