Record Haul — Pick One
Record Haul — Pick One

Candid vertical phone video, 9:16. A young white British man, clearly an adult in his mid-twenties (around 24), stands waist-up facing the camera in a small sunlit independent record shop. Short dark-brown curly hair, clean-shaven, warm expressive brown eyes, natural skin texture. He wears a moss-green overshirt over a plain cream T-shirt. Soft natural daylight from a window off-camera left. Background: warm wooden shelves softly blurred, golden-hour shop tone — the look of a real candid phone shot. [Static shot] He holds three 12-inch vinyl record sleeves: in his left arm, two sleeves lightly fanned — one cobalt blue, one cream — resting against his lower chest. In his right hand, one vivid orange sleeve with a single bold abstract blue geometric shape; no text, no lettering, no recognisable album artwork on any sleeve. All sleeves remain flat, solid and distinct; his fingers grip them naturally. He starts with a small pleased smile and makes friendly, relaxed eye contact — the energy of sharing a good find with a friend. Then, smoothly and naturally, he brings the orange sleeve forward toward the camera with his right hand into the lower foreground, as if offering the viewer first pick. The sleeve grows naturally in perspective as it approaches. He stops it just below his chin so his full face stays visible throughout. He gives a brief playful eyebrow raise and a warm grin, then holds that moment. Throughout, there is a gentle, subtle phone-camera sway — the natural micro-movement of a handheld phone. No cuts, no dramatic camera moves, no slow motion, no beauty filter. No other people in the foreground. No text overlays, captions, logos or watermarks. Sound: soft cardboard sleeve rustle as the orange record slides forward, quiet shop room tone — ambient hum of a small record shop. No speech, no music, no background conversation.

About

Use MiniMax H3 text to video for a scene whose action and sound belong together: a cup placed on a table, rain passing a window or a workshop coming to life. Begin with one clear visual action and add the sounds that matter. MiniMax H3 includes generated audio and supports 5–15-second clips, with 480p, 720p, 2K or 4K output. It has one Standard tier, so there is no Turbo choice to make. Choose the frame for the intended screen and review the produced sound, motion and subject details together.

Questions

What makes a useful MiniMax H3 prompt?

Describe the subject, one action, the camera and the sound. For example: a ceramic cup is set on a wooden table, filmed close-up; include the soft contact sound and quiet room ambience.

Can I switch off generated audio?

MiniMax H3 includes audio and has no off setting. If you need a silent final clip, account for removing the audio in editing rather than expecting a silent model setting.

Which duration and sizes can I choose?

The current model supports 5–15 seconds, with 480p, 720p, 2K and 4K output. It uses a single Standard tier. Choose the format for its intended placement and inspect it at that size.

Can I upload an opening image?

Use MiniMax H3 Image to Video with the picture as a start frame. This text-to-video starting point begins with a written scene and no required image.

What should I check in the generated sound?

Listen for requested sound cues, unwanted speech and whether action sounds fit the visible moment. Check the audio separately from the picture; a visually useful clip may still need sound editing.
