Three engines behind one MiniMax H3 Max AI video generator, and fal charges a different price for each: $0.04, $0.06 and $0.08 a second at 768P.
We pass the ratio through instead of averaging it. So pick by the shot — the cheapest of the three is already selected.

fal's post-trained MiniMax H3, on its throughput-tuned working point. Built for volume — ad variants, daily posts, anything you will run four times before you like it. The original H3 Max endpoint is one click away in the dropdown, at twice the rate.

20, 30 or 40 credits a second at 768P — because fal charges $0.04, $0.06 and $0.08. The one we start you on is the cheapest of the three.
See the full comparisonEvery rate on this page is one division. fal publishes $0.04, $0.06 and $0.08 a second at 768P; we divide each by $0.002 and get 20, 30 and 40 credits. One divisor, no exceptions, and all three prices are on fal's own model pages next to the endpoints we call.
Which answers the fair question someone asked in a thread about this model: if you are billed by the length of the clip, why care how fast it renders? Because you are not billed for the wait. And the wait is where the idea dies.
What you see is what came out. No upscale, no grade, no second pass.
Turn your sound on: what you hear was generated in the same pass as the picture.
Every card hands the generator the whole prompt, not a summary — at the length and ratio the clip was made at. Change one line. Run it again.

MiniMax H3 Max is not a new base model. fal post-trained the open weights of MiniMax H3 and shipped it with MiniMax on 26 Aug 2026 — same weights, three names.
So why does it stop at 768P? Because MiniMax H3 is not one model. It is three stages, and MiniMax published only the middle one.
00:00:05:00H3-BASE · 768P · SOUND IN PASSEverything on this page comes out of the middle stage below — 768P, with the audio already in it
The three stages, and the two we cannot reach
Rewrites your prompt and your references before anything renders.
Generates the 768p picture and the stereo audio. This is the stage fal post-trained.
Sends the 768p result back through with your original context to produce 2K.
Bottom line. Anything post-trained on those open weights inherits the 768P ceiling — there is no downstream 2K stage for it to hand off to. A boundary of what MiniMax released, not a corner fal cut.
This MiniMax H3 Max AI video generator is an independent third-party interface. We are not MiniMax and we are not fal — we buy capacity, run your prompt, and publish the numbers we get billed on.
Came for the API? Three names, one set of weights: `MiniMax-H3-Max` on MiniMax v2, `minimax/h3-max/*` on fal, `minimax:h3@max` on Runware. Send the wrong one and the request fails. This site is a browser workspace, not an API reseller.
Five things the MiniMax H3 Max AI video generator does well. Under each, the clip on this page where you can hear or see it for yourself — including where the quality holds and where it drifts.
00:00:05:0016:9 · 768P · SOUND IN PASSDialogue, effects and room tone are generated in the same pass as the frames, at 32 kHz stereo. No switch. No surcharge — there is no second pass to charge for.
Write the sound into the same sentence as the shot.
54 of 60 clips we wrote a spoken line into came back with the lip movement on the syllable. Hear it on the diner clip above — the line is in the prompt, and the room tone came with it.
16:9 · 720P · 15S · ONE TAKEPush in, pull back, orbit, handheld pursuit. Camera language written as camera language gets followed as camera language, not as mood.
Name the lens and the move. It holds both for the whole clip.
We ran a list of move words and 14 of 18 came back on demand — crash zoom, tilt up, FPV and handheld pursuit among them. The four it ignored are the vague ones: sweeping, dynamic, cinematic, epic.
00:00:10:0016:9 · FIRST AND LAST FRAMEUpload one still and it becomes the opening frame. Upload two and the model fills in everything between them.
Anchoring the ends keeps a product or a face consistent across a set of shots — far more reliably than describing it again in words. That is why first and last frame is worth learning before you write a longer prompt.
No mid-frame input. Two ends, and the model owns the middle.
00:00:15:0016:9 · 768P · 15S · 5 BEATSLong prompts are followed as a sequence, not averaged into a vibe. Write `0–2s`, `2–5s`, `5–8s` and you get that order back.
This is exactly what the post-training was aimed at.
Five-beat prompts, twenty runs: 17 of 20 came back with all five beats, in order. The astronaut clip above is one of them — radio line by radio line.
00:00:05:0016:9 · 768P · INSTANT LANEThe problem with a two-minute render is not the two minutes. It is that the loop between writing a line and seeing it breaks, and you stop iterating.
Two minutes a shot buys you four attempts in an afternoon. This buys you dozens.
That is the difference between the best of four hooks and the best of forty.
P50 8.7s, P95 20.9s for a 5-second 768P clip, measured here across 412 runs. fal quotes under three on its own route; ours carries the queue and the file write, and it is still a take every ten seconds.
Write the shot and the sound in one sentence. Get both back.
Dialogue is spoken inside the take, not dubbed over it, and holds up across 11 languages. Six aspect ratios. Any whole second from 5 to 15.
Blue cyclorama studio, graffiti wall, drum kit, neon tubes — she looks straight into camera,
white graphic tee, oversized bomber hanging off her shoulders,
she lip-syncs the rap and hits the kit on the beat,
handheld circle, studio room tone under the track.

Speed
fal publishes under three seconds for its own route. That is not the number you wait.
Ours is the whole wait — request out, file ready to play — across 412 runs. The fold says why the two differ.
How we measured. Same prompt, 412 runs, 5 seconds at 768P, 16:9, prompt expansion off — spread across working days rather than a quiet hour, because a quiet hour is how everyone else gets a flattering number.
We clock from the request leaving our server to the file being ready to play. That is what you wait. It is not the model's inference timer, which is why ours reads 8.7s where fal's own page reads under three: their figure is `timings.inference` on their infrastructure, ours carries the queue, the fetch of the finished file and the write to storage the player reads from.

Six places to start with the MiniMax H3 Max AI video generator.
Each card drops a ready-to-run prompt into the box above — at the length and ratio the clip was made at.
00:00:14:009:16 · 14sOne unbroken first-person run, written as timed blocks. The 9:16 frame is in the prompt rather than cropped in afterwards, so the hands stay in the bottom third the whole way.
00:00:12:0016:9 · 12sA character delivers the whole line and the lip sync lands on the syllable. One pass, no voice-over session, no separate animation pass.
00:00:15:0016:9 · 15sFive timed blocks, one location, the mood turning between them. Write `0–3`, `3–6`, `6–9` and you get that order back rather than an average of it.
00:00:15:0016:9 · 15sSoft-body physics and a voice-over in the same pass. The sugar hiss, the squish and the line arrive already in sync, because none of them was added later.
00:00:15:009:16 · 15sSeven camera set-ups on one subject, described once at the top. Face, build and wardrobe survive every cut without being restated.
00:00:15:0016:9 · 15sAn FPV move with real recoil, ice and embers on one timeline. Five timed blocks, a sound design brief and a negative list, all in the same prompt.
Not seeing yours? The prompt library has the rest — every entry is a clip we generated.
00:00:12:00A rain-soaked alley, neon reflections on wet asphalt, footsteps and distant traffic
One sentence carries both. Name the subject, the action, the camera move and what you hear.
You never write sound separately, because it is never added separately.
5–15s · whole seconds · 24 fps
Any whole second from 5 to 15, at 24 fps, in six shapes.
Draft at 480P. Half the credits, and it tells you within seconds whether the prompt is working. Move to 768P for the take you keep.
00:00:15:00Audio is already muxed in at 32 kHz stereo. One file, nothing to mix.
A failed generation returns your credits automatically.
A woman walking in the rain at night, cinematic.
Nine words — and four decisions handed to the model: camera, lens, beat order, whole soundtrack. It will make all four for you, differently every run.
Slow dolly in on a woman under a shop awning, rain-soaked street, neon reflections. 0–3s she watches the road; 3–6s she steps out and opens a red umbrella. Handheld, 35mm, shallow depth. Sound: heavy rain on canvas, a bus hissing past, no music.
Camera, lens, beat order and audio all stated. The parts you care about stop changing between runs, so you are editing one shot instead of rerolling five.
Both cost exactly the same: 200 credits at 5 seconds, 768P. Length and resolution set the price. The prompt is free.
Writing the longer one is the cheapest move available on this page.
That is the whole browser route: nothing to install, no GPU, no API key.
Budget on takes, not on finished clips. A shot you run four times costs four times — and drafting at 480P is exactly what stops that from hurting.

Quotes are trimmed, never rewritten. Every one links to where it was published.
Minimax H3 Max (post-trained by fal) leads the image-to-video board scored with audio, at an Elo of 1,201 ± 9 across 5,467 blind votes.
MiniMax H3 Max takes first place for image to video at an Elo of 1,341 — above MiniMax H3, the model it was post-trained from.
Quality is about on par with normal H3 but it is crazy fast on the API — can get a 15s 720p video back in 10s or so vs. the several minutes normally. Honestly pretty great for getting back vids fast if you're working with API tools.
It's quite good even at more complex multicut scenes and instructions. The clean audio is probably the thing that surprises me the most, since turbo audio has been very hit or miss.
Where the samosa says “perfection, ready for next course” was very difficult to get locally — it would lose coherence by that point in all my attempts, and this did it on the first try on their H3 Max.
Where is the upscaler like in the H3 cloud? We need that.
No star rating and no aggregate score — we have not collected enough to publish one honestly. When we do, it will say how many.

What you get back is render time and first place on two blind boards. Good trade for volume work. Bad trade for one hero shot.
The switch, stated as a switch — including what does not improve.
A rejected or failed generation costs you nothing here. Re-running a prompt with one word changed is billed at the same per-second rate as the first run, not as a fresh job. Those two things dominate the one-star reviews across this whole category.
If the deliverable is 4K, the answer in this table is Kling, not us. If it is a take past fifteen seconds, or anything that needs a timeline to cut on, none of these five is your tool — you want an editor.
Better you find that out on this page than after a subscription.
Price rows compare the cheapest published rate with audio at the tier nearest 768P.
The render-time row is the one row nobody's documentation answers. The first two cells are ours — 412 runs on the route this site calls, request out to file ready. The other three are third-party measurements on their own routes, linked below. Read that row as orders of magnitude, not as a decimal: one is a lead measured in minutes, and none of the five was clocked by the same stopwatch.
