Features
- Synced Native Audio——Dialogue, sound effects and ambience are born with the picture and land frame-aligned — thunder, rain, strings and every spoken line included.
- Multi-Shot in One Take——One prompt cuts 2–4 matched shots with a beginning, build-up and payoff — a trailer arc inside a single 5–15 second clip.
- Director-Style Camera——Handheld tails, slow push-ins, static sitcom wides — write the move in plain words and the camera obeys like a crew.
- First-Frame Lock——Upload one start frame and faces, outfits, products and label lettering stay locked shot after shot — zero drift, zero gibberish text.
How it works
- Describe it or upload a frame One line is enough — shot-by-shot with timestamps (0–5s / 5–10s) works best. Got a product or selfie? Upload it as the start frame (shown: the perfume start frame); skip it for pure text-to-video.
- Pick length, ratio and audio About 5/10/15 seconds, vertical 9:16 or widescreen 16:9, sound on or silent — shown: a vertical 9:16 product frame. Different picks, totally different film.
- Get a finished short with sound Moments later a vertical spot with music and real object sounds is yours — shown: the mist-spray packshot. Post to TikTok/Reels/Shorts or drop it in the group chat.
FAQ
- Can I use just one photo?
- Yes. One clear front-facing photo is enough: upload it as the start frame, describe one small motion (a blink, a smile, mist in backlight), and H3 animates it while locking the face, clothes and background. More angles help, but one photo works.
- What is MiniMax H3's link to Hailuo?
- They are the same thing. Hailuo (Haima's video product, called 海螺AI in Chinese) runs on MiniMax models, and H3 / Hailuo 3.0 is its newest flagship video model — native audio, director camera and multi-shot in one take. This page is the dedicated entry for that exact model.
- Is it free? Do I need a card?
- Yes — sign up and you get free credits to try it, no card required. Longer or repeated generations consume credits per clip; the tool page shows the cost before you hit generate, so there are no surprise charges.
- H3 vs Kling vs Sora — which wins?
- Different jobs. H3's edge is a finished clip in one generation: synced dialogue plus sound effects plus 2–4 matched shots, up to 15 seconds. If you want a talking, sounding mini-story straight out of one prompt, start with H3; if you need silent single-shot footage to edit later, other models may fit better.
- How do I prompt without glitches?
- Use the [shot] + [subject] + [micro-action] + [light] + [texture] formula, keep the camera still, and keep motion small: one subject, one subtle move. Write shots with timestamps (0–5s …), repeat clothing colors so outfits don't drift, and avoid hand close-ups, eating, fights and signs with text.
- Can it make videos longer than 15s?
- Clips top out at 15 seconds. For anything longer, generate beat by beat with the same start frame or character reference and stitch the segments — each new segment continues the look, and the audio beds join cleanly.
- How do I spot an AI-made video?
- Check three things: small motion glitches in hands or faces, overly perfect skin and lighting, and mismatched audio or upload metadata. When in doubt, ask the uploader for the source — real H3 clips shared by creators usually credit the model or carry its watermark.
