She pedals forward with a bright smile as cherry blossom petals swirl around her. The camera tracks smoothly beside her, sunlight flickers through the branches, her hair moves in the breeze, and the scene feels light, youthful, and cinematic.
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.
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.

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.

time.sleep(2)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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
