MiniMax H3 Max image to video
H3 Max Studio · last updated 3 September 2026
MiniMax H3 Max image to video starts from a still. The first image is the opening frame. An optional last image is the end keyframe. Aspect follows the first frame. Without a first image, fal treats the job as text to video.
First frame and last frame
Upload a first image to lock composition, wardrobe, and product. Add a last image when you need the shot to land on a specific end pose or layout. The model interpolates the move between the two stills while it writes audio from the prompt.
What I2V does not take
Image-to-video does not use the T2V aspect dropdown. The still sets the frame. Reference-to-video is the mode for extra image, video, and audio files (up to 12 total; audio cannot be the only file).
Credits
Duration still costs 5 credits per second. The first four images are included in that reservation. Extra images after four cost 10 credits each.
