Official model guide plus a working online generator
Generate polished 5-second 768p videos in around three seconds. H3 Max Turbo turns text, a starting image, or first and last frames into prompt-faithful video with native synchronized audio. The H3 Max AI video generator just below lets you create from a prompt, an image, a pair of frames or supported references.
The full MuseGen video workspace is built in here with H3 Max already selected. You can still try other variants or change models and keep the rest of your setup.
You need an account to generate, and credits depend on the model, variant, length, resolution and other settings you choose. Credits for failed tasks come back automatically.
H3 Max tackles the stage of AI video work that tends to stall a project: sitting through a render, seeing whether your instructions survived, and trying once more. Because H3 Max Turbo was optimised hand in hand with the servers that run it, a five-second 768p clip can be ready in roughly three seconds — quicker than the clip takes to play. Text-to-video, image-to-video and first-to-last-frame animation share one speedy workflow, with even motion, a refined look and sound generated alongside the picture.

Image to video
Upload a single image to set the subject, framing, light and format, then explain just the motion you want. H3 Max matches the shape of your uploaded image on its own. Add a second picture when the last frame matters, and the model builds the move from one keyframe to the other.
Opening frame
“The statue slowly turns to face the lens and raises the trident in one deliberate motion as water streams from the bronze. Slow heroic push-in, synchronized gravelly dialogue, ocean ambience, and precise motion-graphics hits.”
What it does well
H3 Max Turbo has been tuned to keep detailed creative direction intact and still return the shot quickly. Describe the scene, the action, the camera, the look, the timing and the audio — no need to boil the prompt down to a few generic keywords.
Use two images whenever where the shot lands matters as much as where it begins. The model works out the motion that links the frames, which helps with transitions, reveals, transformations and brand work where layout is critical.
In the Design Arena image-to-video comparison published on August 25, 2026, H3 Max came first. That backs up the model's core trade-off: quick inference that never treats movement, faithfulness to the prompt or final polish as an afterthought.
Go with H3 Max Turbo when speed and iteration come first. Go with MiniMax H3 when the job needs native 2K output or a bigger multimodal reference set.

Go from idea to another finished take in seconds, whether you are working on characters, products, stylised pieces or campaigns.
Produce lively acting with spoken dialogue, moving faces, ambience and camera direction from one prompt.
Develop hand-made clay, paper and craft looks for campaigns without building a real set for every version.
Create glossy close-ups for product launch sites, social ads, marketplace listings and quick creative tests.
Take an idea from first prompt to a configured H3 Max render without leaving the model page.
Write a prompt covering the subject, action, setting, camera, look, pacing and audio. Got references? Upload them and say what each one is there for.
Leave H3 Max selected, pick the variant, mode, length, frame shape, resolution and audio options that suit the shot, then look at the credit cost displayed.
Start the job, watch it progress beside the generator, check the finished clip, then reuse the same settings for a fresh attempt or download the file.
H3 Max is a quick AI video generation model built on MiniMax H3. H3 Max Turbo is tuned for closer prompt adherence, a refined look, native synchronized audio and high-volume text-to-video and image-to-video work.
A standard five-second 768p clip can render in roughly three seconds, so the model runs quicker than real time when you are iterating. The full wait can also include upload, queueing, network, moderation and storage steps.
Yes. Type a prompt for text-to-video, upload a single starting image for image-to-video, or add both a first and a last frame to fix how the clip opens and closes.
H3 Max Turbo renders any whole number of seconds from 5 to 15, at 480p or 768p and 24 frames per second.
Text-to-video offers 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16. For image-to-video and first-and-last-frame renders, the clip takes the ratio of the starting image.
Yes. Each render includes native synchronized audio, so your prompt can direct speech, ambience, effects and music together with what happens on screen.
With Enhance prompt off, H3 Max runs a balanced expansion for a quick rewrite. Switching it on uses quality expansion, which may take up to about 30 seconds to build a fuller prompt before rendering starts.
H3 Max is billed by clip length and resolution: 3 credits per second at 480p and 5 credits per second at 768p. You see the exact total before you generate, and failed provider tasks are refunded automatically.
Capabilities and media on this page were checked against the developer's official product pages, announcements and documentation.
