MiniMax H3: Open, Omni-Modal AI Video Generator
MiniMax H3 — also known in the community as Hailuo 3.0 — is MiniMax's general-purpose model built to jointly understand text, images, video, and audio, generating up to 15-second clips at up to 2K with native stereo sound. Now, you can try it on Anijam for Free.
MiniMax H3 Key Features
Native Stereo Audio: dialogue, sound effects, and music generated together with the video, not layered on after.
Multimodal Context Understanding: combine text, image, video, and audio inputs in one instruction instead of a fixed task menu.(up to 9 images, 3 video clips, and 3 audio clips — 12 files total)
Native Multi-Shot Sequences: cut between camera angles inside a single generation instead of stitching separate clips.
Accurate Text & Logo Rendering: on-screen text and branding render cleanly, without the garbled characters common in other video models.
Keyframe Control: specify keyframes, frame numbers, and positions to control exactly when and where actions happen throughout your video.
What You Can Build With MiniMax H3 on Anijam
Advertising & Product Storytelling
Generate brand videos and product showcases that combine a voice reference, a product image, and on-screen text in one instruction, with native audio built in.
Film Titles & Pre-Visualization
Draft opening title sequences, animatics, and multi-shot narrative beats with native scene-to-scene cuts, before committing to a full production.
Animated Posters & Motion Graphics
Turn a static poster, key art, or brand graphic into motion — one of MiniMax's own showcased use cases for H3, alongside film titles and e-commerce ads.
MiniMax H3 on Anijam
Anijam gives you access to MiniMax H3 alongside Seedance, Kling, Wan, and more — inside one AI Agent, on web and on the Anijam mobile app.
MiniMax H3 takes a different approach from most models in the lineup, combining text, image, video, and audio as a single context to generate scenes with native sound in one pass. Built for commercial content such as ads, product shots, and brand videos, H3 prioritizes accurate on-screen text, native audio, and flexible aspect ratios. On Anijam, the Agent can automatically route your brief to H3 when it fits, then switch to other models like Seedance, Kling, Wan when needed.
Native Stereo Audio Generated With the Video
MiniMax H3 produces dialogue, sound effects, and background music as dual-channel stereo in the same generation pass as the visuals — footsteps, ambient noise, and a character's voice all land in sync with the action, with no separate audio-sync stage required.
Multimodal Context Understanding
Describe the relationship between your references in plain language — match a camera move from one video, a character's look from an image, and a voice from an audio clip — and MiniMax H3 combines them into one scene, instead of forcing each element through a separate reference tool.
Multi-Shot Sequences in a Single Generation
MiniMax H3 can natively cut between different camera angles and perspectives within one generation, based on natural-language cues — producing an edited sequence rather than one continuous, monotonous take that needs to be stitched together afterward.
Clean Text and Logo Rendering
On-screen text, packaging copy, and simple branding render legibly instead of dissolving into the garbled characters common in most video models — a meaningful difference for ads, UI mockups, and product content where readable text is the point.
Edit Video With Natural-Language Instructions
MiniMax H3 can modify existing footage through natural-language instructions instead of rebuilding a scene from scratch. Add, remove, or replace elements while preserving the surrounding motion, composition, and visual context — making it easier to refine generated clips and adapt existing footage.

MiniMax H3 vs Seedance 2.5 vs Seedance 2.0: How the Newest Models Compare
MiniMax H3 and Seedance 2.5 launched on the same day — July 31, 2026 — and the community has been comparing them ever since. They take different approaches: Seedance 2.5 pushes single-shot duration and reference volume, while H3 pushes omni-modal understanding, native multi-shot editing, and price. Seedance 2.0 remains the more mature, widely available baseline.
| MiniMax H3 | Seedance 2.5 | Seedance 2.0 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max resolution | Up to 2K | Not stated by ByteDance for 2.5 (native 4K applies to the parallel 2.0 upgrade) | Native 4K |
| Max single-shot duration | Up to 15 seconds | Up to 30 seconds, with multi-round extension | Up to ~15 seconds |
| Native audio | Yes, dual-channel stereo | Yes | Yes |
| Multi-shot in one generation | Yes, native camera cuts | Extension-based, not native in-shot cuts | No |
| Reference handling | Text, image, video, and audio combined via natural language | Up to 50 combined references (30 images, 10 video, 10 audio) | Image, video, and audio references |
| Post-generation editing | Natural-language instruction-based editing | Timestamp-level, green-screen, and camera-perspective editing | Prompt-based regeneration only |
| Open model weights | Yes — base model released August 2026, with licensing and module caveats | No | No |
| Best for | Budget-conscious omni-modal workflows, clean text rendering, native multi-shot ads | Long single-take cinematic shots, heavy reference-driven scenes | Fast iteration on shorter, final-quality clips |
A note on "open source": H3's base weights are public, but the full pipeline isn't. MiniMax has kept the H3-Context-IR preprocessing system and the H3-Regenerate-2K upscaling module hosted-only, and the release license excludes commercial use in the US, EU, UK, and South Korea.
How To Use MiniMax H3 on Anijam AI
Step 1: Add References or Pick a Template
Describe your idea in a line of text, upload reference images, video, or audio, or start from a trending template in the Anijam app.
Step 2: Set the Scene and Direction
Describe how your references relate to each other — match this camera move, use this character's face, sync to this voice — then choose your aspect ratio and duration. Select MiniMax H3 from the model list, or let the Agent suggest it for text-heavy or multi-shot scenes.
Step 3: Generate, Review, and Export
MiniMax H3 renders a scene with native audio and camera cuts already built in. Review it on Anijam's timeline, layer in additional lip sync or voiceover if needed, then export — on web or straight from mobile.
