Audio arrives with the frame
The MiniMax H3 announcement pairs speech, ambience and effects with the video itself, so a talking clip no longer needs a separate sound pass.

THE NEW MINIMAX VIDEO MODEL
What is MiniMax H3?
MiniMax H3 is the AI video model MiniMax introduced in late July 2026 as the next step of its Hailuo video line. The launch coverage highlights two upgrades over earlier Hailuo releases: native audio generated together with the picture, and clips at up to 2K quality.
MiniMax H3 is not the same thing as MiniMax M3 — M3 is the company's language model, while H3 is video. This live page composer uses EvoLink to support all three H3 workflows at 2K for 4–15 seconds: text-to-video, first/last-frame image-to-video and reference-to-video with images, video or audio.
2K output ceiling
MiniMax positions H3 at up to 2K clips — a visible step over the 768p/1080p tiers of Hailuo 2.3, aimed at crisper motion and cleaner text edges.
H3 is video, M3 is text
Search results mix the two names. Remember: MiniMax H3 generates video with audio; MiniMax M3 is a language model and never renders a frame.
MINIMAX H3 LIVE WORKFLOW
How to generate with MiniMax H3 today
MiniMax H3 is live on Imya through EvoLink. Generate from text, first/last frames or reference images, video and audio; the task and finished clip stay visible on this page and in Workspace history.
01
Choose the input that matches the shot
Use text for a new scene, one or two frames to control the opening and ending, or reference media to guide a character, movement or voice.
Try: one clear subject action and one camera move.
02
Include the sound in your prompt
MiniMax H3 generates audio with the video. Name the dialogue, ambience or effect you need, while keeping the visual direction concrete.
Try: “soft rain and distant traffic under her final line.”
03
Write one directed shot
H3 prompts work best with one clear subject action, one camera move, explicit pacing and one sound cue.
Try: “she turns to camera and laughs; street noise fades in.”
04
See the task and result in one place
Imya keeps the form on this page, shows upload and generation status, and places the finished video directly below the button. The task is also saved in Workspace history.
Your inputs stay local until sign-in; the provider key remains server-side.
THREE PRACTICAL WORKFLOWS
What creators want from MiniMax H3
MiniMax H3 combines motion and native audio for three practical jobs. Start from text, first/last frames, or reference images, video and audio in the generator above.
Example starting imageTalking portraits with real sound
MiniMax H3 handles talking-head clips in one pass: one portrait, one line of dialogue, native audio and lip motion generated together.
“She looks up from the notebook and speaks one calm sentence to camera; soft café ambience, steady handheld framing, no cuts.”
Example starting imageAnime and stylized scenes at 2K
Stylized motion is a long-running strength of the Hailuo line, and the 2K ceiling is what keeps line art and colour blocks clean at full size. Give the model a crisp illustration and one clear action.
“She spins once and her skirt flares; petals drift past the camera as it pushes in slowly, keep the face and outfit consistent.”
Example starting imageCity scenes with ambient audio
H3 demo reels lean on night streets and weather — scenes where ambience sells the shot. Give the model a layered still and one camera move, then name the rain, neon hum and crowd noise you want it to generate.
“Fine rain crosses the neon street; the camera tracks forward at walking pace while distant traffic hums, no sudden zoom.”
MINIMAX H3 SHOT LIBRARY
What a MiniMax H3 clip looks like
Reference frames for shot types the MiniMax video line handles well and the live H3 capabilities now available through EvoLink. Each is a starting frame, not a guaranteed output.
MiniMax H3 vs Hailuo 2.3 at a glance
Two things change: sound and sharpness. Hailuo 2.3 renders silent clips at 768p or 1080p; MiniMax H3 generates native audio at 2K. MiniMax H3 is now the default model in this page composer.
MINIMAX H3 PROMPTS
Write the prompt as one directed shot
A MiniMax H3 prompt should read like a shot note with a sound line. Build it in four parts — the same structure already works on the models serving this page.
Subject action + camera move + pacing + sound cue
Subject action
Name one visible, scaled action: turns to camera, lifts the cup, takes two steps. Concrete verbs beat “dynamic” or “cinematic” every time.
Camera move
Choose a single move — push, pan, track, orbit or locked. Stacking moves in a short clip creates conflicting geometry and drift.
Pacing and constraints
Say how fast the moment unfolds and what must not change: real-time, no cuts, keep the face stable, label readable.
Sound cue
For MiniMax H3, add one audio line: a spoken sentence, rising ambience or a single effect. On silent models today, the cue is simply ignored.
Complete prompt example
“The barista slides the cup across the counter and smiles at camera; the camera pushes in slowly, real time, no cuts — espresso machine hiss under quiet morning chatter.”
One subject action, one camera move, explicit pacing and a single layered sound cue. Drop the last clause on silent models; keep it for MiniMax H3.

FIX THE DRAFT
Common MiniMax H3 workflow problems and what to change
These fixes apply to MiniMax H3 and the other image-to-video models in the picker — simplify one variable at a time.
The face changes mid-clip
A soft or partially hidden source, or a prompt that demands a large turn revealing unseen angles.
Use a sharper portrait, ask for a smaller action, shorten the clip and add “keep the face stable”.
No sound in the result
The selected model renders silent output — Hailuo 2.3 Fast and Kling 3.0 Turbo have no native audio.
Switch to MiniMax H3, Grok 1.5 or Seedance 2.0 in the picker. Hailuo 2.3 Fast and Kling 3.0 Turbo remain silent models.
The motion feels chaotic
Several subject actions, effects and camera moves compete inside a few seconds.
Keep one action and one camera move. Delete style adjectives until the physical movement reads clearly.
The frame crops badly
The output ratio differs sharply from the uploaded image, forcing the model to invent composition.
Pre-crop the start image near the final ratio, or use a model whose output follows the image.
PRIVACY & RETENTION
Know when the image leaves your device
You can prepare the start image, prompt and settings before signing in. During preparation the image remains in this browser on this device. Clicking Generate saves a short-lived local draft; after sign-in, Imya uploads the media only to provide the requested generation through Imya and contracted AI processing providers.

Independent interface
Imya is an independent interface; MiniMax H3 and Hailuo are MiniMax models. Imya does not claim partnership, sell your files or use them to train Imya-owned models.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
MiniMax H3 FAQ
What is MiniMax H3?
MiniMax H3 is the AI video model MiniMax announced in late July 2026 — the next step of its Hailuo video family, generating clips with native audio at up to 2K quality.
Is MiniMax H3 the same as MiniMax M3?
No. MiniMax M3 is a language model that writes text. MiniMax H3 is a video model that renders moving images with sound. Search results often mix the two names.
Does MiniMax H3 generate audio?
Yes — native audio is the headline feature of the MiniMax H3 announcement: dialogue, ambience and effects generated together with the video rather than added afterwards.
What resolution does MiniMax H3 support?
The current EvoLink route accepts 2K only. MiniMax H3 supports whole-number output durations from 4 through 15 seconds.
When was MiniMax H3 released?
