What it is
What is MiniMax H3 Max?
MiniMax H3 Max is a post-trained variant of the open-weight MiniMax H3 video model, optimized for prompt adherence, visual quality, and fast inference. On Waver AI, it creates video from text, first and last frames, or mixed references—and generates synchronized audio in the same pass.

Evidence behind the H3 Max claim.
At launch, fal reported leading image-to-video results on Design Arena and Artificial Analysis. Rankings change, so these are presented as dated launch snapshots.
- Post-trained for prompt understanding and visual aesthetics.
- Fast backend inference for 5-second 768p samples.
Key features
Direct the whole moment.
Combine shot direction, visual consistency, and sound in one prompt-led workflow.
First & last frame
02Connect two stills with one continuous shot
Start with an opening image and optionally add a closing image. H3 Max builds the movement between those keyframes, giving image-to-video work a defined destination.
Character consistency
03Hold identity across changing locations
Keep a person recognizable as lighting, framing, and location change. The model preserves core facial features, clothing, and proportions across a multi-shot sequence.
Native audio
04Generate picture and sound together
Write dialogue, ambience, music, and foley into the same brief as the visuals. H3 Max returns synchronized sound with the picture, reducing separate soundtrack work for quick concepts and social clips.
Art direction
05Keep one visual language across the cut
Name the palette, material, linework, and typography you want. H3 Max can carry a defined visual treatment across several beats for more coherent brand pieces and animated stories.
Prompt adherence
06Keep the beats in the order you wrote them
Structured prompts can specify what happens first, what changes, and how the shot resolves. Post-training focuses on adherence and aesthetics so detailed briefs survive the move from words to motion.

How it works
Create in three steps.
Choose your starting point
Start from a text prompt, an opening image, or a first-and-last-frame pair when the shot needs a specific ending.
Direct the scene and sound
Describe the subject, action, camera movement, pacing, lighting, and audio in the order they should happen.
Set the output and generate
Choose 5–15 seconds, select 480p or 768p, confirm the displayed credit cost, and generate the clip.
Use cases
Built for fast creative decisions.
Short ads and product spots
Turn a product brief into a compact clip with camera direction, readable visual beats, and synchronized sound. Generate quick concept options before a campaign enters final production.
Storyboards and previsualization
Test a scene, transition, or camera move before committing to a full shoot. Fast 768p output makes comparing directions easier while the story is still flexible.
Social video with dialogue
Describe a speaker, line, framing, and background sound in one prompt. Native audio and lip sync make short character moments easier to review as complete ideas.
Stylized brand stories
Carry a deliberate palette and material language across several shots for animated posters, product reveals, and branded scenes that need consistent art direction.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is MiniMax H3 Max?+
MiniMax H3 Max is a post-trained version of the open-weight MiniMax H3 base model, tuned for stronger prompt adherence, aesthetics, and fast 768p inference. Waver AI supports text, image, and reference-led video workflows.
What can the MiniMax H3 Max AI video generator create?+
It can generate video from text, animate a starting image with an optional final keyframe, or follow image, video, and audio references. It supports directed camera motion, consistent characters and styles, and synchronized audio cues.
How long are MiniMax H3 Max videos?+
A single generation can run from 5 to 15 seconds. Short clips suit quick shot tests, while 15 seconds can carry several ordered beats or a compact multi-shot sequence.
What resolution does MiniMax H3 Max support?+
MiniMax H3 Max supports 480p and 768p output and is optimized around fast 768p creation. Standard MiniMax H3 is a better fit when a workflow specifically needs 2K output.
Does MiniMax H3 Max generate audio?+
Yes. It generates synchronized audio with the picture. Prompts can describe dialogue, foley, room tone, ambience, or music so sound arrives in the same pass.
Is MiniMax H3 Max the same as MiniMax H3?+
No. H3 Max prioritizes speed, prompt adherence, and aesthetics at 480p or 768p. Standard H3 supports 2K and a broader production-oriented multimodal workflow.
Can I use an image with MiniMax H3 Max?+
Yes. Upload a starting image and optionally an ending image. The output follows the source image ratio, while text-to-video offers landscape, square, and portrait ratios.
How many credits does MiniMax H3 Max use on Waver AI?+
480p output uses 1 credit per second and 768p uses 2 credits per second. Reference mode also adds 1 credit per reference image and charges reference-video seconds at the selected output rate.
