About this model
MiniMax H3 Max Reference to Video generates a video clip guided by a prompt plus up to 9 reference images, 3 videos, and 3 audio clips, with no more than 12 reference files combined. Reference the assets by name in your prompt (for example "Image 1" or "Video 1") to tell the model how each one should influence the result — a character's appearance, a background style, a motion pattern, or a soundtrack. Output resolution runs up to 1080p across durations of 5-15 seconds, with an adaptive aspect ratio option that follows the references automatically. It follows Muapi's standard asynchronous request/poll/webhook pattern. For a single starting image without multi-reference blending, see MiniMax H3 Max Image to Video; for a pure text prompt with no references, see MiniMax H3 Max Text to Video.

Add references: Provide reference_images (up to 9) and/or reference_videos (up to 3) URLs; reference_audios (up to 3) is optional and cannot be used alone. The combined total across all three fields cannot exceed 12 files, and at least one image or video is required.
Write the prompt: Describe the scene and explicitly reference your assets by name, e.g. "Use Image 1's character walking through the scene from Video 1."
Pick resolution and duration: Set resolution to 480p, 768p, or 1080p, and duration to any value from 5 to 15 seconds.
Set aspect ratio: Leave aspect_ratio as adaptive to follow the references automatically, or choose a fixed ratio.
Submit and retrieve: POST the request, then poll /predictions/{request_id}/result or supply a webhook_url to receive the finished video URL.

Frequently asked
It generates a video guided by a prompt plus one or more reference images, videos, and optional audio, blending their appearance, motion, or sound into the new clip.
Up to 12 combined reference images and videos, plus optional reference audio tracks up to 15 seconds combined.
No, reference audio must be paired with at least one reference image or video.
Resolution can be 480p, 768p, or 1080p, and duration can be any value from 5 to 15 seconds.
When `aspect_ratio` is left as `adaptive`, the output follows the aspect ratio implied by your reference assets instead of a fixed value.
Poll the request ID returned by the initial POST at `/predictions/{request_id}/result`, or pass a `webhook_url` to be notified when the video is ready.
