A lone female traveler in desert robes standing before the enormous half-buried remains of a giant ancient machine in a vast desert, blowing sand, dramatic sky, epic scale, cinematic science fantasy, strong composition, detailed textures. Sand blows across the ruins as the traveler walks forward slowly. Small lights begin flickering inside the ancient machine, dust falls from its metal surface, and the camera rises upward to reveal the full colossal scale of the buried structure.

MiniMax H3 Reference-to-Video

MiniMax H3 Reference-to-Video generates high-resolution videos from a text prompt and reference media. Provide at least one reference image or video, optionally add reference audio, then describe the desired scene, interaction, camera movement, and visual style to create a 2k video output.

Why Choose This?

  • Reference-guided video generation
    Generate videos using reference images or videos to guide the final result.

  • Image and video reference support
    Use reference images for visual style, characters, objects, or scene composition, and reference videos for motion or interaction guidance.

  • Optional reference audio
    Add reference audio when audio guidance is needed, together with image or video references.

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

  • Flexible aspect ratios
    Supports wide, landscape, square, portrait, and vertical formats including 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16.

  • Selectable duration
    Generate videos from 5 to 15 seconds.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
promptYesText description of the desired video scene and interactions. Minimum length: 1 character. Maximum length: 4000 characters.
reference_imagesNoReference image URLs. Supports up to 9 images. At least one reference image or video is required.
reference_videosNoReference video URLs. Supports up to 3 videos. At least one reference image or video is required.
reference_audiosNoOptional reference audio URLs. Supports up to 3 audio files. Audio cannot be provided alone.
aspect_ratioNoOutput aspect ratio: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, or 9:16.

durationNoOutput video duration in seconds. Supported values: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15.

How to Use

  1. Write your prompt — Describe the scene, subject interaction, motion, camera movement, lighting, mood, and visual style.
  2. Add reference images or videos — Provide at least one reference image or video to guide the generated result.
  3. Add reference audio optional — Upload reference audio only when image or video references are also provided.
  4. Choose aspect ratio — Select the layout that matches your target format.
  5. Set duration — Choose a video length from 5 to 15 seconds.
  6. Submit — Generate the video and retrieve the output URL.

Pricing

Generated 2K video costs $0.13 per output second.

Output DurationOutput Price
5s$0.65
10s$1.30
15s$1.95

Billing Rules

  • Reference inputs: the first 5 images and all supported audio inputs are free. Each image after the first 5 costs $0.04. Reference videos cost $0.13 per second based on their combined duration, with up to 3 videos and 15 seconds total per request.

Best Use Cases

  • Reference-guided cinematic videos — Generate high-resolution videos from visual references and prompt instructions.
  • Character and subject consistency — Use reference images to guide characters, products, objects, or visual identity.
  • Motion and interaction guidance — Use reference videos to guide movement, pacing, or interaction style.
  • Commercial and campaign videos — Create polished video concepts from product, brand, or scene references.
  • Story and scene prototyping — Turn reference media and written ideas into short 2K motion clips.
  • Visual concept development — Explore camera movement, lighting, and composition with stronger reference control.

Pro Tips

  • Use clear reference images when subject identity, product details, or style consistency matters.
  • Use reference videos when motion, interaction, or camera movement is important.
  • Keep reference media visually relevant to the final video you want.
  • Make the relationship between the prompt and references clear.
  • Use 16:9 for widescreen video, 9:16 for vertical mobile content, and 1:1 for square layouts.
  • Use shorter durations for quick prompt testing and longer durations when the scene needs more time to develop.
  • Keep the prompt focused on visible action, scene progression, and interaction details.

H3 Reference To Video API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/minimax/h3/reference-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 Reference To Video below.

HTTP example

H3 Reference To Video API — Frequently asked questions

What is the H3 Reference To Video API?

H3 Reference To Video is a MiniMax model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. MiniMax H3 Reference to Video generates coherent 2K videos from natural-language prompts and multimodal references, including images, videos, and audio, guiding subject consistency, motion, timing, visual style, and scene continuity. 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 Reference 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-reference-to-video.

How much does H3 Reference To Video cost per run?

H3 Reference 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 Reference To Video accept?

Key inputs: `prompt`, `aspect_ratio`, `resolution`, `duration`, `reference_images`, `reference_audios`. 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-reference-to-video.

How do I get started with the H3 Reference 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 Reference 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.
