Make a short video from text, starting and ending frames, or a reference clip. Each mode has its own inputs, so you only see what applies. Try it in the generator below, with examples and only the controls that fit this model.
MiniMax H3 is a video workflow with several input paths, so the first decision is not the prompt itself. Choose text-to-video for a new scene, image-to-video when first or last frames define the shot, or reference-to-video when a source clip should guide the motion. NENE keeps those modes in one generator but exposes their controls separately to reduce accidental mixing. That makes this page useful for product reveals, short dialogue scenes, frame-to-frame transitions, and reference-led motion studies.
A strong H3 brief describes what changes over time. Name the subject, the action, the camera, the start and end state, and any audio or dialogue expectation that the selected mode supports. Keep frame inputs compatible and keep a reference video separate from a frame pair. The finished clip still needs a full playback review because faces, scene transitions, timing, dialogue, and small details can vary from the written intention.
Keep the first request small enough to review. The steps below match the controls and result states in the generator above.
Use text-to-video for a new scene, image-to-video when a frame establishes the visual start, and reference-to-video when an existing clip carries movement or style information. Do not combine a reference video with frame logic unless the visible controls explicitly support that combination.
A useful prompt states who or what moves, how the camera behaves, what should remain consistent, and where the shot should finish. For dialogue, keep lines short and identify speakers. For a product, state the surface, reveal direction, and the detail that must stay readable.
Choose the duration and resolution available for the selected mode, read the quote, and submit only after the balance check. Watch the full result when it completes. If it fails, preserve the task record and change one input or instruction in the next attempt.
Choose a use case that fits the model's actual input and output. Treat each result as a reviewable draft until it passes your own quality and rights checks.
For a new product scene, write a clear opening composition and one camera move. Specify the material, surface, and light direction so the product is easier to track. Keep the action modest when label or shape accuracy matters more than spectacle.
Use compatible frame inputs when the shot has a deliberate start and finish. The two frames should share a subject and a plausible path between them. If they contradict the camera or lighting, the model has to invent too much of the transition.
A source clip can provide movement or pacing for a new visual direction when the mode supports it. Describe what should transfer and what should change. Check the result for timing, subject identity, and unwanted background carryover from the reference.
Keep the cast small, identify each speaker, and use a short exchange. State the gesture or expression that carries the scene. Playback review matters because lip timing, hands, facial identity, and background continuity can drift across a generated clip.
The generator is the source of truth for the current controls. Use this guide to plan a request, then confirm the exact quote before submitting.
Choose MiniMax H3 when the input mode itself is important: a clean text scene, a frame transition, or a separate reference-video direction. Veo 3.1 is a useful alternative for first and last frames with its own duration and tier controls. Kling O3 is better to compare for transformation and richer reference combinations, while Seedance 2.5 and Gemini Omni are options when multimodal inputs or generated audio are central to the brief.
For H3, record the mode before you evaluate the output because a text shot, frame transition, and reference-video request have different failure patterns. Check that the first and last states agree with the written endpoint, that the reference clip did not bring along unwanted motion, and that dialogue or sound remains understandable when it matters. Compare the result with the exact duration and resolution you paid for. A failed continuity test is useful feedback when it leads to a smaller mode-specific change, not when it triggers several duplicate requests.

We last checked this page against the NENE generator on September 8, 2026. The generator always shows the current controls, availability and credit price before you submit.
Availability and controls can change. The live NENE workspace is the source of truth for the current inputs, duration, resolution, and credit quote.
