| Modality | Description |
|---|---|
| MiniMax H3 Fast T2V API (Text to Video) | Turn a text prompt into a cinematic 480P video lasting 5 to 15 seconds. Choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or adaptive framing for concept clips, social content, and visual storyboards. |
| MiniMax H3 Fast I2V API (Image to Video) | Starting from a first frame image, this endpoint creates a 480P video guided by text and can optionally incorporate a last frame. It suits image animation, shot transitions, and 5 to 15 second product or character clips. |
| MiniMax H3 Fast R2V API (Reference to Video) | A reference image anchors the subject while a text prompt directs the resulting 480P video. Use this mode for subject consistent promotional shots, creator content, or short visual sequences lasting 5 to 15 seconds. |
MiniMax H3 Fast brings text driven creation, first and optional last frame animation, and reference guided subject continuity into 480P clips lasting 5 to 15 seconds, with flexible framing and one Atlas Cloud API priced at the standard $0.046 per generated second.
Turn a text prompt into a cinematic 480P clip with MiniMax H3 Fast. Choose a duration from 5 to 15 seconds and frame the result in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or adaptive format. Describe the subject, action, camera movement, and setting in one request. This mode suits direct concept exploration, social video drafts, and shot planning before production.
Begin with a supplied first frame and add an optional last frame to guide how the sequence opens and resolves. A text prompt directs the movement between those visual anchors while output remains 480P and 5 to 15 seconds long. The input image establishes the starting composition. Use this route for controlled transitions, animated key art, and product reveals with a defined finish.
Keep a subject from a reference image recognizable while a text prompt places it into motion. MiniMax H3 Fast Reference to Video produces 480P clips from 5 to 15 seconds, giving developers a dedicated route for reference driven generation. Rather than redesigning the subject for every take, carry its visual identity into a fresh scene. It fits recurring characters, mascots, and product centered sequences.
Select any supported duration from 5 through 15 seconds to match the pace of the idea. Shorter clips keep rapid iteration focused, while longer outputs leave room for a complete visual beat within one generation. The same duration range is available across text, image, and reference driven routes. Build compact ads, single shot narratives, or motion tests without changing model families.
Shape text generated videos for 16:9 landscapes, 9:16 vertical feeds, or 1:1 square placements, with adaptive framing also available. That choice lets one model family cover widescreen presentations, mobile social posts, and balanced square creative. Image driven generation uses the supplied first frame as its visual starting point. Pick the route and framing that match the destination instead of rebuilding the concept around one fixed canvas.
Access all three MiniMax H3 Fast routes through Atlas Cloud instead of integrating separate providers for text, image, and reference workflows. Standard pricing is $0.046 per generated second, so cost scales directly with selected clip length. The shared access path simplifies switching among generation modes as a project evolves. It is a practical fit for developers testing concepts or operating repeatable video pipelines.
See how MiniMax H3 Fast, a leading competitor, and another MiniMax H3 model interpret the same two cinematic video prompts.
A 7-second high-energy micro-story in a storm-threatened fishing harbor: a lithe, weathered silver-haired fisherwoman in a rust-red oilskin coat, mustard knit cap, dark waders, and sea-worn boots chases a runaway fishing net that violent wind has inflated into a gigantic sail, dragging bright orange and yellow floats toward the churning sea. Open with an extreme macro shot of a soaked rope knot snapping, fibers exploding toward the lens, followed by a rapid push-in; whip-cut to a ground-skimming lateral tracking shot as she sprints across wet planks, ducks fluidly beneath a chaotic maze of whipping ropes, steps onto a violently rocking wooden rack, and leaps to wrap both arms around the main cable. Cut to a perfectly vertical top-down shot: the net’s geometric grid, her twisting body, crossing ropes, and bouncing colored floats collide in a clear kinetic composition as her full body weight yanks the cable down and the sail-like net crashes onto the dock with a thunderous wet slap, spraying mist and seawater. Rapidly push into her relieved, exhilarated face as a tiny silver fish springs from the collapsed mesh and lands neatly inside her knit cap; she freezes, crosses her eyes upward, then grins. Maintain exact character, wardrobe, net, rope, and harbor continuity across every cut; physically accurate rope tension, knots, fabric deformation, wind pressure, inertia, collisions, wet surfaces, sea spray, and hair movement. Cold cyan storm light, rust-red coat and orange-yellow floats, dramatic backlight outlining airborne mist, realistic 35mm maritime cinema, handheld urgency, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain, crisp natural motion, fast comic timing, no slow motion. Audio: rising gale, rigging creaks, ropes snapping and whipping, boots hammering wet boards, wooden rack groaning, net slamming heavily, then a tiny comic fish plop and her breathless chuckle. No screens, software interfaces, dashboards, progress bars, charts, captions, subtitles, logos, watermarks, explanatory text, duplicate people, character drift, wardrobe changes, anatomy errors, tangled or melting limbs, impossible rope behavior, weightless cloth, jumpy motion, frozen action, or disconnected cuts. 16:9 aspect ratio.

An 8-second photorealistic cinematic food-commercial sequence set in a dim-sum kitchen at dawn: a young pastry chef lifts the lid of a bamboo steamer, and a glossy, semi-translucent har gow suddenly springs out, its pink shrimp filling glowing through the delicate ivory wrapper. Begin from inside the steamer in the dumpling’s POV as the lid opens and warm golden window light pierces swirling steam; cut to an extreme macro tracking shot skimming along the flour-dusted worktop as the dumpling tumbles, rebounds, and squashes elastically while fleeing, kicking up fine flour with every impact. The chef reacts instantly and sweeps a wooden rolling pin across its path; whip-pan into a rotating overhead shot as the dumpling veers between utensils, compresses against the counter, then launches over the polished spine of a cleaver in one continuous, physically convincing arc. Follow tightly at counter level with a fast diagonal composition as flour particles collide with trailing steam; the dumpling lands on the steamer rim, wobbles, flips back inside, and mischievously blasts a final puff of steam into the chef’s surprised face. Maintain perfect character, dumpling, kitchen, and spatial continuity across every cut; nonstop fluid action, realistic momentum, collisions, elastic deformation, translucent moist wrapper texture, appetizing shrimp detail, tactile bamboo grain, shallow depth of field, crisp macro focus pulls, ivory white, bamboo brown, and shrimp pink palette, warm golden morning backlight, premium high-speed food advertising cinematography, playful suspense and precise comic timing. Synchronized audio: bamboo-lid clack, soft rubbery bounces, floury skids, rolling-pin whoosh, metallic cleaver ping, and a punchy steam hiss, with light rhythmic percussion building to the final gag. No slow motion, no static filler, no screens, software interfaces, dashboards, progress bars, charts, captions, text, logos, watermarks, extra limbs, duplicate objects, broken utensils, food morphing, or discontinuous motion. 16:9 aspect ratio.

MiniMax H3 Fast turns text prompts, opening frames, optional ending frames, and subject references into 480P videos for storyboards, social formats, guided transitions, character shorts, and campaign concept tests.
Turn a text prompt into a 480P cinematic clip lasting 5 to 15 seconds. Filmmakers and creative teams can test scenes, pacing, and visual directions before committing to larger production workflows.
Choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or adaptive framing when generating video from text. Marketing teams can prepare landscape, vertical, and square clips for campaign concepts without rebuilding each idea from a separate starting asset.
Animate a first-frame image into a 480P clip guided by a text prompt. Designers can bring illustrations, product stills, or campaign key art to life for presentations, previews, and social posts.
Provide both opening and ending frames to guide how an image-based clip develops. This workflow suits transition studies, before-and-after concepts, and storyboard beats that need a defined visual destination on screen.
Keep a chosen subject present by generating from a reference image and text prompt. Creators can produce character-focused shorts, product appearances, or recurring campaign moments that begin from the same visual subject.
Set each generation between 5 and 15 seconds at 480P for focused idea exploration. Small studios can compare prompts, opening images, and reference subjects across compact clips before selecting directions to develop.

MiniMax H3 Fast is a video generation model on Atlas Cloud with separate text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video routes. The verified Atlas configuration produces 480P clips lasting 5 to 15 seconds.
Create a cinematic clip from a text prompt, animate a first-frame image with an optional last frame, or generate from a reference image while keeping the subject recognizable. Every verified workflow supports 480P video lasting 5 to 15 seconds.
Select the Atlas Cloud route matching your input, then submit the prompt and media fields defined in its Playground schema. Use minimax/h3-fast/text-to-video, minimax/h3-fast/image-to-video, or minimax/h3-fast/reference-to-video as the model ID.
All three Atlas Cloud routes support 480P output and durations from 5 to 15 seconds. Requests outside this resolution or duration range are not part of the verified configuration.
For text-to-video, choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or adaptive. The verified facts do not establish the selectable aspect-ratio list for the image-driven routes, so follow each route's Playground schema.
Yes. The image-to-video route animates a supplied first frame and can accept an optional last frame, while your text prompt directs the motion between them.
Choose reference-to-video when a reference image should anchor the subject across the generated clip. Pair the image with a prompt describing the desired scene and motion, then review the result because generative consistency is not absolute.
Atlas Cloud lists a standard price of $0.046 per generated second for its text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video routes. The final charge follows output duration and uses the standard price rather than a temporary discounted rate.
First confirm that the model ID matches the intended workflow, the output is set to 480P, and the duration is between 5 and 15 seconds. For text-to-video, also use 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or adaptive, then compare every field with the corresponding Atlas Cloud Playground schema.
