MiniMax H3 Max Video Generator
MiniMax H3 Max Video Generator (h3-max.pro) is a browser-based workspace for creating short AI videos from text prompts or reference images. Users write a scene brief, optionally upload a first frame and a last frame to anchor the composition and ending, and generate clips between 5 and 15 seconds long. The workspace is positioned as an independent front end for the MiniMax H3 Max video model rather than an official MiniMax product. Generation settings include two model tiers (H3 Max Standard and H3 Max Turbo), six aspect ratios (21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16) and resolutions of 480P, 768P and 1080P. Image-to-video generation follows the aspect ratio of the uploaded source image. Costs are expressed in whole credits that vary by model, resolution and exact clip length, and a credit estimate is shown before the user commits to a generation. The site also provides a library of editable 'shot recipe' prompt briefs covering product films, vertical stories, material close-ups and establishing shots, plus a curated showcase gallery of generated clips. A separate video-to-prompt utility is offered alongside the main generator. Text and image inputs share the same credit rates, and prompts may optionally be submitted to the public showcase. The tool is aimed at creators who want quick, prompt-driven video takes for social, product and concept work without a camera crew or editing pipeline, keeping prompt, model settings and finished takes together for iterative revision.

Problem solved
Producing even a few seconds of usable footage traditionally requires cameras, locations, talent and editing time. This tool converts a written scene description or a reference image into a short finished clip, and it exposes model choice, framing, duration and resolution settings together with a pre-generation credit estimate so users can judge cost and iterate on a take before spending more.
