MiniMax H3 Image to Video — First-Frame Animation & End-Frame Transitions
No credit card required · 10 free credits to start
What is MiniMax H3?
Animate any still image into smooth, high-quality video up to 15 seconds. Use a single opening frame or pair it with an optional closing frame for controlled transitions. Aspect ratio automatically follows your input image. Resolutions available in 768P and 2K.
What MiniMax H3 does well
First-frame anchoring
Your uploaded image becomes the exact starting state. Subject identity, wardrobe, lighting, composition, and palette carry through the generated clip instead of being reinvented.
Optional last-frame control
Supply a second image as the end frame and the model creates a natural transition between the two stills. Ideal for reveals, before-and-after sequences, product transformations, or shot hand-offs.
Aspect ratio follows the input
No manual aspect-ratio selection is required. The video inherits the proportions of the source image automatically, preserving the original framing.
Duration up to 15 seconds
Generate clips of variable length (integer seconds) so a single run can cover a complete short beat rather than forcing you to stitch multiple short generations.
Where MiniMax H3 shines
01 Product and brand motion
Turn a polished still of a product, package, or interface into a short animated sequence that keeps logos, text, and materials locked while adding subtle movement, camera drift, or environmental interaction.
02 Character and scene bring-to-life
Animate an approved character portrait, fashion frame, or environment still. The first-frame lock preserves identity and styling while the prompt drives expression, gesture, or atmospheric change.
03 Controlled transitions and reveals
Use the optional end-image parameter to define both the starting and ending state. The model fills the motion between them, useful for morphs, scene changes, or narrative beats that need precise start and end compositions.
04 Storyboard-to-motion conversion
Take a locked keyframe or concept illustration and generate the in-between motion without losing the approved look, reducing the number of regeneration cycles needed for consistency.
