How much does MiniMax H3 Max cost?

Text and image-to-video are 2 gold per second at 480p, 3 at 768p, and 6 at 1080p. Reference-to-video is 7, 11, and 22 gold per second at those same resolutions, plus 3 gold for each reference image after the first four. A 5-second 480p text clip is 10 gold. A 5-second 768p reference clip with two images is 55 gold.

What is the difference between image-to-video and reference-to-video?

One image is treated as the opening frame and animated. Two or more are treated as references: subjects and props the model composes into a new scene. Upload a second image and H3 Max switches modes automatically.

How long can a MiniMax H3 Max clip be?

Any whole number of seconds from 5 to 15. Pricing is per second, so you only pay for the length you pick.

Can I choose the resolution?

Yes. H3 Max outputs 480p, 768p, or 1080p on every route. 480p is the cheap draft tier. 768p is the native canvas. 1080p is a refined pass of that 768p source.

How to Master MiniMax H3 Max

Step 1
Start From a Frame You Already Like
Upload one image and H3 Max animates from it as the first frame. This is the most reliable way to keep a character on-model, because the look is fixed before any motion is generated.
Step 2
Add References for a Cast, Not a Frame
Upload two or more images and H3 Max switches to reference-to-video: the images become subjects and props it composes into a new scene, rather than a starting frame it animates. Use this to put several characters in one shot.
Step 3
Pick the Duration You Actually Need
Every whole second from 5 to 15 is available and pricing is per second, so a 7-second beat costs 7 seconds' worth. There is no reason to round up to 10.

Frequently Asked Questions for MiniMax H3 Max

About MiniMax H3 Max for CharGen

MiniMax H3 Max is Fal's post-trained MiniMax H3 variant, offered on CharGen as a single entry covering three routes. Prompt alone and it generates from text. Add one image and it animates that image as an opening frame. Add more and it treats them as a cast of references to compose into a new scene. You pick the mode by what you upload, not by switching models.

Key Strengths

H3 Max keeps the nine-image reference ceiling that makes party scenes and recurring NPCs stay recognisable, and it adds 1080p plus stronger prompt adherence than the WaveSpeed H3 route. Text and image-to-video are cheap enough to draft with. Reference-to-video costs more because Fal bills that route separately, including a small charge after the fourth reference image.
