MiniMax H3 Image-to-Video

MiniMax H3 Image-to-Video generates high-resolution videos from a first-frame image and a text prompt. Upload an image, describe the desired motion and scene, optionally provide a last-frame image, and generate a 2k video output from 5 to 15 seconds.

Why Choose This?

  • Image-to-video generation
    Animate a first-frame image into a video guided by your prompt.

  • First-frame control
    Use the input image to define the starting visual state, subject, composition, and style.

  • Optional last-frame guidance
    Provide last_image when you want to guide the ending frame or final visual direction.

  • 2K video output
    Generate high-resolution video outputs with the fixed 2k resolution tier.

  • Selectable duration
    Generate videos from 5 to 15 seconds.

  • Simple generation workflow
    Provide an image and prompt, optionally add a last image, then generate the final video.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
imageYesFirst-frame image URL or Base64 data. Supported image dimensions are 256-5760 pixels per side, with an aspect ratio between 0.4 and 2.5.
promptYesText description of the desired motion and scene. Minimum length: 1 character. Maximum length: 4000 characters.
last_imageNoOptional last-frame image URL or Base64 data.
resolutionNoOutput video resolution. Supported value: 2k.
durationNoOutput video duration in seconds. Supported values: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15.

How to Use

  1. Upload first-frame image — Provide the image that should guide the opening frame, subject, style, and composition.
  2. Write your prompt — Describe the desired motion, camera movement, scene development, lighting, and mood.
  3. Add last image optional — Use last_image when you want to guide the final frame or ending direction.
  4. Set duration — Choose a video length from 5 to 15 seconds.
  5. Submit — Generate the video and retrieve the output URL.

Pricing

Pricing is $0.13 per second of generated 2K video.

DurationPrice
5s$0.65
10s$1.30
15s$1.95

Best Use Cases

  • Image animation — Turn a still image into a high-resolution motion clip.
  • Start-and-end-frame video generation — Use image and last_image to guide the beginning and ending of the video.
  • Cinematic scene creation — Generate short videos with camera movement, atmosphere, and visual continuity.
  • Character and product motion — Animate a subject, product, or scene from a reference image.
  • Story and scene prototyping — Turn image concepts into short 2K video previews.
  • Creative visual development — Explore motion, lighting, mood, and composition from a single starting frame.

Pro Tips

  • Use a clear first-frame image with the main subject visible.
  • Describe visible motion, camera behavior, lighting, mood, and scene progression in the prompt.
  • Use last_image when the ending frame or final visual direction matters.
  • Keep the first and last images visually compatible when using both.
  • Use shorter durations for quick prompt testing and longer durations when the scene needs more time to develop.
  • Make sure the input image matches the desired composition and aspect ratio.

H3 Image To Video API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/minimax/h3/image-to-video with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for H3 Image To Video below.

HTTP example

H3 Image To Video API — Frequently asked questions

What is the H3 Image To Video API?

H3 Image To Video is a MiniMax model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. MiniMax H3 Image to Video animates a first-frame image into a coherent 2K video, with natural-language motion instructions and optional last-frame control for consistent motion, scene continuity, and cinematic video generation. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the H3 Image To Video API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/minimax/minimax-h3-image-to-video.

How much does H3 Image To Video cost per run?

H3 Image To Video starts at $0.13 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does H3 Image To Video accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `resolution`, `duration`, `last_image`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/minimax/minimax-h3-image-to-video.

How do I get started with the H3 Image To Video API?

Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.

Can I use H3 Image To Video outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (MiniMax). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
