About MiniMax H3 Max Turbo

MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is a distilled, faster version of H3 Max from MiniMax. It makes 5 to 15 second videos at 480p or 768p from text or an opening image, can be steered toward a closing image, and produces synchronized audio with the picture. It keeps H3 Max's prompt adherence and look at higher throughput, which suits rapid iteration and high-volume runs.

Where it works well

Offers both 480p and 768p output, so one model covers drafts and mid-resolution deliveries.
Accepts an end-frame image in addition to an opening image, which gives control over where a shot lands.
Generates audio in sync with the video instead of leaving the clip silent.
Distilled from H3 Max to keep its prompt adherence and visual character while running faster.

When to choose another model

It tops out at 768p; the full H3 model is the one MiniMax lists with 2K output.
It takes text and image inputs only, so video or audio references need H3 Fast.

Use cases

Best for

Text to Video

Shot-to-shot transitions
Give an opening and a closing image and let the model fill the motion between them for a controlled transition.
Social clips with sound
Produce short vertical or horizontal clips whose ambient sound and effects are created together with the picture.
High-volume generation
Run large prompt sets for ad variants or app content where throughput matters more than maximum resolution.

Prompt examples

Opening frame: an empty subway platform. Closing frame: the same platform full of commuters. A train arrives between them.

A chef flips a pancake in a sunlit kitchen, handheld camera, the sizzle and clatter audible.

Slow push-in on a lighthouse during a storm, waves crashing, wind and thunder in the audio.

FAQ

What does H3 Max Turbo add over H3 Max?

It is a distilled variant built for throughput. MiniMax says it preserves H3 Max's prompt adherence and visual character while generating faster, which suits iteration and volume work.

Which resolutions and lengths does it support?

It offers 480p and 768p output with clip lengths of 5 to 15 seconds. MiniMax documents H3 Max with the same 480P and 768P range, and reserves 2K for the full H3 model.

Can I control the last frame?

Yes. Besides starting from text or an opening image, this model accepts end-frame guidance, so a clip can be steered toward a specific closing image for transitions.

Does it generate audio?

Yes, synchronized audio is generated with the video. Describe sounds in the prompt if a particular effect or ambience matters, such as dialogue, footsteps or a music cue, since the model uses the text to decide them.

Should I use H3 Max Turbo or H3 Fast?

Choose Max Turbo when you want 768p, end-frame control and generated audio. Choose H3 Fast when you need video or audio references and 480p drafts are enough.
