MiniMax H3 Max guide
Reference-driven video with MiniMax H3 Max
MiniMax H3 Max is the reference-native tier of MiniMax H3. It opens on the Reference to Video tab and is built to keep identity and art direction steady across clips. This guide explains how to prepare references and what to expect.
What MiniMax H3 Max is built for
Where most video models start from a prompt, H3 Max starts from references. You can supply up to nine reference images, and the model uses them to keep a character, outfit, and style consistent from one generated clip to the next.
Output defaults to 2K, with 768P available for quicker drafts, and every clip includes a stereo audio track. Aspect ratio can be adaptive or fixed, from 16:9 to 9:16 and 21:9.
Nine image references
Define the subject from several angles.
Multi-angle stills
References from different angles keep identity consistent.
Up to 2K
Draft at 768P and finish at 2K.
Preparing good references
Three to five clean stills covering different angles of the subject give the strongest consistency. Use even lighting and a plain or uncluttered background, and avoid references that contradict each other, such as two different hairstyles for the same character.
H3 Max compared with other reference models
Choose H3 Max when you want the shot defined by stills rather than text. Seedance 2.5 accepts up to 30 reference images. Test the same references on two models if consistency is critical.
