## Intent

H3 Max is a 5–15s native-audio 1080p MiniMax SKU. Seedance 2.5 stretches to 30 seconds with optional audio and up to 30 references.

## Verdict

MiniMax H3 Max generates 5–15 second native-audio clips at 480p, 768p, or 1080p with first/last frames and up to nine references. Seedance 2.5 generates 4–30 seconds at 480p–1080p with optional synchronized audio, first/last frames, and up to 30 references. Choose H3 Max for a shorter MiniMax look at 1080p; choose Seedance 2.5 when the shot needs a longer envelope or a much larger reference set.
