Minimax H3 (Hailuo 3.0)

Native Audio Generation

Minimax H3 makes a monumental leap forward in AI video by eliminating the need for separate audio post-production. It natively generates dual-channel stereo audio that perfectly matches the visual action. Whether it is the sound of tires screeching on wet pavement, ambient forest noise, or a character speaking dialogue, the audio is generated synchronously and controlled entirely through natural language prompts.

Cinematic Director Mode

Designed for professional workflows, Minimax H3 introduces an industry-first capability for natural language camera control. Rather than relying on the model to interpret camera intent randomly, Director Mode allows creators to specify precise movements—such as tracking shots, crane sweeps, or handheld aesthetics. This ensures the final output serves the narrative purpose and matches the creator's directorial vision.

Multi-Shot Generation

Minimax H3 excels at creating dynamic, multi-angle narratives within a single generation. Instead of generating one continuous, monotonous shot, the model can natively cut between different camera angles and perspectives based on natural language cues, creating a fully edited sequence right out of the box.

Keyframe and Video Extension

Hailuo 3.0 provides unparalleled flexibility for longer storytelling. It can take a generated or uploaded video clip and extend its duration seamlessly. Crucially, it does not just extend the visuals; it synchronously extends the accompanying audio track, maintaining the physical momentum and acoustic environment of the original clip.

Image and Video Reference (Character Consistency)

Minimax H3 solves the persistent "style drift" and character morphing problem. It supports multi-image reference, allowing users to upload faces or specific subjects and maintain their exact likeness across different scenes and lighting conditions. It also supports video reference, enabling creators to map the motion or style of an existing video onto a new, generalized subject.

The man stands by the sink on the right side of the frame and hands a clean plate to the woman on the left. He then turns and suddenly flings dish soap suds at her with his right hand. Startled, she immediately fights back. Laughing, they begin playfully splashing suds at each other and dodging.	Image 1: Video 1:

Keyframe Control

Moving beyond basic start-and-end frame generation, Minimax H3 introduces generalized keyframe control. Creators can now specify exact frame numbers and positional data to dictate exactly when and where an action occurs. This granular control allows for precise choreography, ensuring characters hit their marks exactly when the narrative demands it.

General Video Editing

For post-production tasks, Hailuo 3.0 offers pixel-aligned general video editing. Users can effortlessly remove unwanted elements, add new objects, or replace existing subjects within a moving video sequence. The model maintains temporal consistency, ensuring the edited elements blend perfectly with the surrounding motion and lighting.
