What is MiniMax Hailuo H3?
MiniMax Hailuo H3 is a multimodal AI video-generation and editing model that brings text, images, video, and audio into one creative workflow. It creates videos up to 15 seconds long, with native stereo sound and output at up to 2K resolution.
Creators can describe a scene, supply visual and audio references, and guide how subjects look, move, and sound. Alongside generating new content, H3 supports controlled editing and video-to-video motion transfer, helping teams develop and refine their creative ideas.
Its capabilities support advertising, e-commerce, branding, gaming, and product-design content. From animated product presentations to cinematic promotional clips, H3 gives creative teams tools to explore different visual directions and develop audiovisual content around a specific brief.
