What is MiniMax H3?

One model for picture, motion, and sound

MiniMax H3—also searched as Hailuo 3.0 or Hailuo 03—is a multimodal video model built for complete clips rather than silent moving images. It combines visual direction, temporal continuity, dialogue, ambience, and sound effects in one generation workflow.

Directed multi-shot scenes

Move from a prompt to a sequence, not a single loop

Describe the shot order, camera behavior, subject action, and transition logic. H3 is designed to follow scene-level instructions while maintaining the story across cuts.

  • Plan wide, medium, and close-up shots in the same prompt
  • Coordinate camera movement with character or object motion
  • Keep a consistent atmosphere across connected shots
Native audio example

Multimodal reference control

Give H3 the visual and audio context your prompt cannot hold

Use reference assets to communicate characters, products, settings, motion, or sound. Official H3 workflows support up to 12 total references across image, video, and audio inputs.

  • Use up to 9 images for people, products, styles, and locations
  • Add up to 3 videos for motion or performance reference
  • Add up to 3 audio files for voice, music, or sound direction

Video-to-video transformation

Change the scene while preserving the performance

H3 can use a source video as motion context, making it useful when timing, body movement, or camera rhythm already exists and the visual treatment needs to change.

  • Transfer motion into a new character or visual style
  • Rebuild backgrounds while retaining the core action
  • Use prompt instructions to guide the transformed result
