Image-to-video workflow

H3 Max Image to Video with First and Last Frame Control

Image-to-video gives the model a visual anchor. Upload a first frame, describe only the change you want, and optionally add a final frame to guide where the shot should end.

A reliable first-to-last-frame workflow

Keep the same subject and visual world in both images. Large identity, framing, or lighting changes force the model to solve too many problems at once. Use the prompt to explain the motion between frames, not to redescribe every visible object.

  • Use JPEG, PNG, or WebP up to 4 MB
  • Images are scoped to the signed-in owner
  • Output follows the first image composition
  • End frame is optional

Motion and sound direction

Name the subject movement, camera path, pace, and sound. For example: “The bottle rotates one quarter turn as the camera pushes in; condensation catches a narrow rim light; soft room tone and a clean cap click.”

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a last frame?

No. Use it only when the final composition matters. A first frame plus a motion prompt is enough for normal image animation.

Does H3 Max generate audio?

Yes. The H3 Max workflow includes synchronized native audio. Describe ambience, dialogue, sound effects, or silence directly in the prompt.

What durations and resolutions are available?

This generator offers 5, 10, or 15 seconds at 480P or 768P for H3 Max. MiniMax H3 remains available separately for 2K final output.

How should I start a new idea?

Begin with a five-second draft, compare a few variations, and only move the strongest direction to a higher resolution or 2K finish.
