MiniMax H3 Singularity Open Weights Image to Video animates a first-frame image, optionally with last-frame guidance, into coherent 480P / 540P / 768P videos with native stereo audio, 5-15 second duration, flexible aspect ratios, and per-second billing. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

The fictional adult man in the reference image performs a joyful dance while SINGING in English. In a single continuous medium-wide shot in the sunny botanical conservatory, he stands and dances with rhythmic side steps, a playful shoulder bounce and expressive hand gestures. He looks toward the camera and melodically sings the original English lyric: "Feel the sunshine, dance with me!" Clear expressive male singing voice, upbeat pop instrumental accompaniment, synchronized singing mouth movements. He sings throughout the clip rather than speaking. Preserve his face and teal outfit. Smooth natural movement, cheerful music-video energy. English vocals only. No Chinese speech or lyrics. No subtitles or on-screen text.
Run the open-weights edition of MiniMax H3 Singularity on WaveSpeedAI's own GPU infrastructure. This endpoint is separate from the official minimax/h3 API: same model family, independently hosted, with its own 480p/540p/768p/1080p resolutions and per-second pricing.
MiniMax H3 Singularity is an omni-modal video model that generates picture and native stereo audio in a single pass — dialogue, sound effects, and music are produced together during generation, never added as a separate dubbing step. Give it a first-frame image plus a prompt and it animates the scene with a matching soundtrack.
The image sets the look; the prompt directs the motion and the sound over time. Write it as a timeline, not a one-line description:
Audio: line with entrance cues: "Audio: quiet room tone, a soft piano melody that swells at 3s." Omit this and the model picks a soundtrack for you.First / last frame (optional) — supply last_image to lock the ending; the model generates the motion between the first and last frames. Great for a controlled emotional arc.
Tips
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Desired motion, camera movement, and an Audio: line for the soundtrack. |
| image | Yes | First-frame image URL. The output canvas follows this image's aspect ratio. |
| last_image | No | Optional last-frame image URL. When set, the video interpolates from the first frame to this frame. |
| resolution | No | 480p (faster, lower cost), 540p (1.5x the 480p price), 768p (native canvas), or 1080p (full HD, 2x the 768p price). Default: 480p. |
| duration | No | Output length in seconds, 3–15. Default: 5. |
| seed | No | Fixed seed for reproducible output. |
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Output | MP4 with native stereo audio |
| Frame rate | 24 fps |
| Resolution | 480p, 540p, 768p, or 1080p |
| Duration | 3–15 seconds (snaps to the model's frame grid, so a 5s request lands at ~5.2s) |
| Input | First-frame image (optional last frame for interpolation) |
| Seed | Supported |
Billed per generated second:

Powered by the community MiniMax H3 Singularity v1.3 checkpoint. First-frame conditioning follows the input image; reference-to-video is available separately.
Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/minimax-h3-singularity/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.

time.sleep(2)Minimax H3 Singularity Image To Video is a WaveSpeedAI model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. MiniMax H3 Singularity Open Weights Image to Video animates a first-frame image, optionally with last-frame guidance, into coherent 480P / 540P / 768P videos with native stereo audio, 5-15 second duration, flexible aspect ratios, and per-second billing. 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 Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples for submitting requests and polling results. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/minimax-h3-singularity-image-to-video.
Minimax H3 Singularity Image To Video starts at $0.125 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`, `seed`, `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/wavespeed-ai/minimax-h3-singularity-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 (WaveSpeedAI). Check the provider's applicable terms and WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service before commercial use.
