MiniMax H3 Fast Text-to-Video
MiniMax H3 Fast Text-to-Video is the speed- and cost-optimized member of the H3 family: it turns a text prompt into a complete 24fps 480P clip with synchronized audio, tuned for the quickest turnaround at the lowest price. It is built for high-volume iteration — draft, review, and regenerate ideas rapidly before committing to a higher-resolution H3 or H3 Max render.
Why Choose This?
-
Fastest, most economical tier Speed-optimized 480P generation — the quickest and cheapest way to produce H3-quality motion.
-
Audio included Every clip is generated as complete audio-video at 24fps — no separate scoring or sound pass.
-
Cinematic motion Fluid camera work and lifelike movement from a plain-text description.
-
Flexible aspect ratios 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 or 9:16 to fit any platform.
-
Selectable duration Produce 5–15s clips.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the scene, subject, and action |
| resolution | Yes | Video resolution. Only 480P is available for the Fast model |
| duration | Yes | Duration of the generated video in seconds. Available options: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Default 8 |
| ratio | No | Aspect ratio of the generated video. Available options: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16. Default 1:1. adaptive is not supported for text-to-video |
| prompt_expansion | No | Enable AI prompt expansion via H3 Context-IR. When true, your prompt is first expanded into a rich, structured description (shot, soundscape, music) before generation, and an additional per-token Context-IR fee applies. Default false: the prompt is used as-is with no extra charge. |
| callback_url | No | HTTPS URL notified whenever the task status changes, so you can react to completion without polling. Requires a one-time verification handshake — see Task Status Callbacks below. |
Task Status Callbacks (callback_url)
When you supply a callback_url, the MiniMax server notifies it on every task status change, so you don't have to poll for the result.
- Verification handshake — right after the task is created, the server first sends a verification request to your URL containing a
challengefield. Your endpoint must return thechallengevalue unchanged, within 3 seconds, to complete verification. - Status pushes — once verification succeeds, the server sends a
POSTto your URL every time the task status changes. The push body has the same structure as the Query Task (task status) response.
Callback status values: queued, running, succeeded, failed, cancelled.
The callback_url must be a publicly reachable HTTPS endpoint.
How to Use
- Write your prompt — describe the scene, subject, lighting, and motion in detail.
- Choose an aspect ratio — pick one of the supported ratios;
adaptiveis not available for text-to-video. - Adjust duration — pick any length from 5s to 15s.
- Run — submit and download your video.
Best Use Cases
- Rapid Iteration — Explore many prompt directions quickly and cheaply before a final high-res render.
- Social Media Content — Short-form clips for TikTok, Reels, and Stories.
- Concept Visualization — Bring ideas to life without filming.
- Marketing Videos — Produce promotional content from text.
Pro Tips
- Be specific about camera angle, lighting, mood, and motion.
- For text-to-video,
ratiouses an explicit value (e.g.16:9);adaptiveis not supported for this mode. - Describe environmental effects (wind, smoke, golden-hour light) for richer results.
- Use Fast for drafting, then re-run the winning prompt on H3 or H3 Max for higher resolution.
Notes
- A prompt is required.
- Supported durations between 5s and 15s, at 24fps with audio.
- Resolution is limited to
480P— 768P and 2K are not available on the Fast model. - Keyframe interpolation and multimodal references (reference image / video / audio) are not supported in this mode.
- Generation is asynchronous — submit, then poll for the finished video.
