Which should you choose?
Choose H3 Max for prompt discovery, social variants, storyboards, and motion tests. Choose MiniMax H3 when the concept is settled and the exported resolution matters more than iteration cost. For many projects the best answer is both: explore, select, then finish.
Frequently asked questions
Is H3 Max always better than H3?
No. H3 Max is the faster, lower-credit route in this product; MiniMax H3 remains the better fit when 2K output is the priority.
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.
