MiniMax H3 AI Video Generator
Advanced 2K Video Generation — Three Ways to Create
MiniMax H3, also known as Hailuo 03, is MiniMax's advanced video generation model, released in July 2026. It produces sharp, detailed 2K video with lifelike motion. Turn a text prompt, a single image, or a set of reference images, clips, and audio tracks into a polished 2K video. Choose a duration from 5 to 15 seconds and one of seven aspect ratios, including adaptive framing in Reference mode.
LoveGen AI gives you three ways to use Hailuo 03. Text mode creates a complete 2K clip from a written description, with aspect ratios ranging from 21:9 to 9:16. Image mode animates a starting frame and can pair it with an optional end frame for controlled first-to-last-frame transitions; the output keeps your image's aspect ratio. Reference mode accepts up to nine images (cite them as Image 1, Image 2 in your prompt), three video clips for motion, and three audio tracks. It follows the referenced motion and sound while keeping subjects consistent. There's no subscription—you pay only for what you generate.
How to Use MiniMax H3
Step 1: Choose a Mode
Choose Text to generate from a prompt, Image to animate a photo (with an optional end frame for keyframe control), or Reference to guide the video with up to 9 images plus reference video and audio.
Step 2: Add Your Prompt and Settings
Describe the scene and motion, then set the duration (5–15 seconds) and aspect ratio. In Reference mode, cite your assets as Image 1, Video 1, and Audio 1 in the prompt.
Step 3: Generate and Download
Click Generate and let Hailuo 03 render your 2K video. Preview it in your browser, then download the MP4 when it's ready.

MiniMax H3 FAQ
What is MiniMax H3?
MiniMax H3, also known as Hailuo 03, is MiniMax's advanced video generation model, released in July 2026. It creates sharp 2K video with lifelike motion. On LoveGen AI, you can generate 5–15-second clips from text, images, or reference media.
What input modes does MiniMax H3 support?
Three: Text mode generates from a prompt, Image mode animates a starting frame with an optional end frame, and Reference mode guides the result with up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio tracks.
What is first- and last-frame control?
In Image mode, you can upload a first frame and an optional last frame. Hailuo 03 generates the motion between them, creating a controlled transition from one image to the other—ideal for morphs, reveals, and scene changes. The output uses the first frame's aspect ratio.
How does reference-to-video work?
Upload up to 9 reference images for subjects and style, 3 short video clips (2–15 seconds each) for motion, and 3 audio tracks—12 files at most. Cite each asset in your prompt by its order: Image 1, Image 2, Video 1, Audio 1. Audio can't be the only reference; pair it with at least one image or video.
What resolutions, durations, and aspect ratios are available?
Every video renders at 2K. Durations run from 5 to 15 seconds. Text mode offers 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16; reference mode adds Adaptive framing; in image mode the aspect ratio follows your uploaded image.
How does pricing work?
There's no subscription — you pay per generation with credits. Cost scales with duration, so a 5-second clip costs less than a 15-second one. All videos render at 2K with no resolution surcharge.
