Prompt direction
How to prompt MiniMax H3 Max
Write a decisive action, camera move, and sound cue. H3 Max is tuned for prompt adherence, so extra adjectives help less than a clear shot direction.
Prompts that work
- 01Write a decisive action, camera move, and sound cue: a courier kicks a stand, helmet visor down, street noise, 8 seconds at 1080p.
- 02First frame a closed sketchbook, last frame the illustrated page lifting; native paper rustle.
- 03Up to nine references for a presenter identity, then one clear 9:16 explain without extra adjectives.
- 04Social draft at 768p, then the same prompt at 1080p once the motion is right.
- 05Fal-served MiniMax look: prompt adherence over purple prose—name the shot, not the mood board.
