> Try MiniMax H3 Max online in Clip Studio Video Lab. What’s new vs MiniMax H3: fast 5–15s native-audio 1080p, prompts that work, and a fal-served spec compare.

Canonical page: https://clipstudio.ai/ai-video-models/minimax-h3-max

## Answer

MiniMax H3 Max is the fast MiniMax option. Generate from text, animate a starting image, guide first and last frames, or use up to nine reference images with native audio at 480p, 768p, or 1080p. Use it when prompt adherence and turnaround matter more than 2K or 4K delivery; MiniMax H3 remains the high-resolution SKU.

## Best for

Native-audio drafts, social clips, and image-led shots. Generation time varies with the model settings and provider queue.

## Specs

- Duration: 5–15 seconds
- Resolution: 480p, 768p, or 1080p
- Aspect ratio: Landscape, portrait, and square formats
- Audio: Native audio
- Input support: Text prompt, Animate image, First → last, Up to 9 reference images

## Strengths

- Fast 768p and 1080p generation
- Animate, first/last, and references
- Native audio


## Considerations

- Maximum native resolution is 1080p
- Reference mode bills extra images after the first four


## Prompt tip

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

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