How it works
1
Describe your shot
Open MiniMax H3 Max Turbo in BudgetPixel Video Workshop. Write a prompt covering the subject, action, camera movement, and sounds; if you’re using a still, describe how it should move.
2
Choose frames and settings
For image-to-video, upload a first frame, a last frame, or both; the clip follows the image’s framing. For text-to-video, choose an aspect ratio, then set a duration from 5 to 15 seconds and select 480p, 768p, or 1080p.
3
Generate and iterate
Generate the clip and review it with its native audio. Adjust the prompt or supplied frames to test another direction; renders typically finish well under a minute.
Short prompts to try
A clear glass bottle on a white table, droplets catching morning light. Slow camera push-in as condensation rolls down the glass; quiet fizz and a soft rhythmic beat.
Test a product-ad direction with native sound.
Keep the uploaded café photo’s composition. Animate the curtain and curling coffee steam; locked-off camera; soft street ambience.
Animate a supplied first frame.
Move through a sunlit greenhouse toward the uploaded closing frame of a yellow flower. Gentle dolly-in; leaves rustling in the background.
Guide a clip with an end frame alone.

Frequently asked questions
What is MiniMax H3 Max Turbo?▾
MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is a fast, lower-cost option for making short videos from text or frame images. In BudgetPixel Video Workshop, it generates 5–15-second clips with audio made alongside the picture. ([minimax.io](https://www.minimax.io/news/minimax-h3-open-source))
How do I use MiniMax H3 Max Turbo?▾
Select the model in BudgetPixel Video Workshop and describe your scene, movement, and sound. You can also upload a first frame, a last frame, or both, then choose your duration and resolution before generating.
What inputs does MiniMax H3 Max Turbo accept?▾
Use a text prompt alone, or pair it with an opening frame, a closing frame, or both. A closing frame works on its own when you want the video to generate toward a target shot. ([minimax.io](https://www.minimax.io/news/minimax-h3-open-source))
How do first and last frames affect the video?▾
A first frame sets the opening image; a last frame guides the ending. Supplying both gives the model two visual anchors for the movement between them, while the output follows the frame image’s framing. ([minimax.io](https://www.minimax.io/news/minimax-h3-open-source))
Does MiniMax H3 Max Turbo generate audio?▾
Yes. It generates audio with the video, including prompted music, sound effects, and ambience. Describe the sounds you want alongside the visual action. ([minimax.io](https://www.minimax.io/blog/minimax-h3))
What lengths, resolutions, and aspect ratios are available?▾
Choose any duration from 5 to 15 seconds at 480p, 768p, or 1080p; 768p is the default. Text-to-video supports 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16, while image-to-video follows the supplied frame’s framing. ([minimax.io](https://www.minimax.io/news/minimax-h3-open-source))
How much does MiniMax H3 Max Turbo cost?▾
Output costs 33 credits per second at 480p, 52 at 768p, or 104 at 1080p, with no input charges. These rates are half those of MiniMax H3 Max; your total depends on the resolution and clip length you choose.
When should I choose MiniMax H3 Max instead?▾
Choose MiniMax H3 Max when you need reference images, clips, or audio, or when the job calls for video editing or extension. Choose Turbo for quick, lower-cost drafts and repeated short-clip iterations.
