Best for
MiniMax H3 Max is a MiniMax AI video generator for short clips that need more than 1080p. It starts at 1080p Full HD and also offers 2K and 4K, at 5 or 10 seconds. Use it for detail-heavy shots: macro splashes, fabric, product texture, and any frame you plan to crop.
Prompting tips
A macro of a water drop hitting black ink is a good test, because the resolution choice is the point. Write the subject, the moment of impact, and the lighting. Avoid stacking several actions. MiniMax holds one event more cleanly than a paragraph of plot.
How to use it
Open Video, choose MiniMax H3 Max, and set 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1. Choose 5 or 10 seconds, then 1080p, 2K, or 4K. Generate at 1080p while you tune the prompt. Move to 2K or 4K when the motion is the one you want to keep.
Controls and pricing
Credits scale with both length and resolution. Ten seconds costs twice the five-second price at the same size, and 4K costs more than 1080p. The table lists the Free plan price for each pair. There is no 8 second option and no 720p option. Wan 3.0 and Veo 3.1 cover 8 seconds. Kling covers 720p.
Good to know
MiniMax rewards prompts that name a texture. Water, metal, cloth, and skin are where 2K and 4K earn the extra credits. If the scene is mostly silhouette and motion, a 1080p Kling or Wan clip is the better spend. Save 4K for the frame you will actually deliver.
