What is MiniMax H3 Video?

MiniMax’s open omni-modal video model.

MiniMax H3 Video (Hailuo 3) is a general-purpose generative system from MiniMax. It was launched in July 2026 and open-weighted in August 2026. One model reads text, images, video and audio, then writes picture and stereo sound together.

Earlier Hailuo models split text-to-video, image-to-video, motion transfer and audio into separate tasks. H3 was trained to collapse those boundaries. That is why it follows complex briefs, renders brand type, and transfers camera motion from a reference without a pipeline of specialist models.

On Nano Banana you run MiniMax H3 Video in the browser: Studio, Banana Computer, or the API. No GPUs, no Hugging Face weights, no MiniMax Open Platform key.

Instruction following

H3 was built around Contextual Omni Representation: language is the bridge between modalities. Multi-shot briefs, camera notes and brand constraints stay intact instead of being averaged away.

Native stereo, not a soundtrack

Picture and 32 kHz stereo are generated together. Voice, effects and music are one audio stream, not a silent clip you score later.

2K via in-context regen

H3-Base writes 768P. H3-Regenerate-2K feeds that result plus the original context back into the same model, recovering small type and product detail that a super-res upscaler would invent.

Brand type that stays readable

Early commercial tests highlight accurate on-screen text and logos. Product sites, title cards and UI mockups are first-class MiniMax H3 Video jobs, not an afterthought.

How MiniMax H3 Video is built

H3-VAE compresses video and audio with a 4× gain in sequence length, which is what makes native 2K tractable. The H3-Omni Transformer is a 33B dense single-stream model. In-context regeneration, not a bolted-on upscaler, produces the 2K pass.

Same composer as Banana Computer. Select MiniMax H3, describe the shot, attach a still if you have one. The agent can search, draft stills, then render MiniMax H3 Video in the same thread.

  • MiniMax H3 sits next to Seedance 2.5 and Sora 2 in the model pill
  • Prefer Studio if you want duration, 768P/2K and aspect ratio as explicit controls
  • API jobs use video_model: "veo3"

Where MiniMax H3 Video wins

MiniMax designed H3 for commercial work: ads, product, brand type, motion transfer. These are the jobs we see it used for on Nano Banana.

Advertising & e-commerce

Hero product orbits, UGC-style demos, pack shots with readable logos. 2K holds up on a product page; 9:16 ships to Reels the same afternoon.

Film titles & posters

Opening cards, animated posters, 21:9 cinematic stills that move. H3’s in-context 2K pass is the reason to pick it when on-screen type has to stay readable.

Architecture & design

Dusk exteriors, interior walkthroughs, material close-ups. 2K plus stereo room tone reads as a real location scout, not a slideshow.

UI / UX motion

App walkthroughs and website heroes where on-screen UI must stay sharp. In-context 2K is built to keep small interface type intact.

Fashion & beauty

Lookbook motion, texture, steam, rain, handheld or locked-off. Image-to-video from a still campaign frame is a one-click MiniMax H3 Video job.

Brand films

Short narrative beats with synced stereo. Pair H3 for the 2K hero, Seedance 2.5 for a 30-second take, Sora 2 when dialogue and physics have to lock, same workspace.

MiniMax H3 Video FAQ

Straight answers for people searching MiniMax H3 Video.

What is MiniMax H3 Video?
MiniMax H3 Video is MiniMax’s omni-modal video model (Hailuo 3). It generates 4–15 second clips at 768P or 2K with native 32 kHz stereo audio. Nano Banana exposes it as a text-to-video and image-to-video engine in Studio, Banana Computer and the API.
How do I try MiniMax H3 Video online?
Create a Nano Banana account, open Studio or Banana Computer, select MiniMax H3, write a prompt or upload an image, then generate. 25 free credits, no MiniMax login.
Does MiniMax H3 Video really output 2K with sound?
Yes. Choose 768P or 2K per job. Audio is native stereo at 32 kHz, not a silent file. Frame rate is 24 FPS. 2K uses MiniMax’s in-context regeneration rather than a generic upscaler.
Is MiniMax H3 open source? Do I need local GPUs?
MiniMax published H3 weights in August 2026. Local 2K still depends on their hosted regenerate pass, and the community license restricts local deployment in several regions. Nano Banana hosts MiniMax H3 Video for you, so you generate in the browser without that stack.
MiniMax H3 Video vs Sora 2 vs Seedance 2.5?
Pick MiniMax H3 Video for 2K, brand type and 21:9. Pick Seedance 2.5 for 4–30 second native-audio takes at 480p/720p with heavy reference. Pick Sora 2 when you need synced dialogue and physics, up to 20 seconds at 720p or 1080p Pro. Switch models without leaving Nano Banana.
How do I call MiniMax H3 Video from the API?
Pass video_model: "veo3" on text-to-video or image-to-video requests. That id is MiniMax H3. Docs: AI models.
