MiniMax H3, also known as Hailuo 3.0, is the latest flagship AI video generation model from MiniMax, the company behind the Hailuo AI platform. It is a multimodal 'omni' model that generates video from text, images, video, and audio context, producing native 2K clips with synchronized audio, multi-shot storytelling, and rich reference control.

Is MiniMax H3 the same as Hailuo 3.0?

Yes. MiniMax H3 and Hailuo 3.0 (also written Hailuo H3 or Hailuo 03) refer to the same model. MiniMax is the company and Hailuo is its consumer video brand, so you will see the model called MiniMax H3, Hailuo 3, or Hailuo 3.0 across different platforms; they are all the same video generator.

How do I use MiniMax H3?

Sign in, select MiniMax H3, and choose text-to-video or image-to-video. Write a detailed, timeline-aware prompt describing subject, action, camera movement, lighting, and sound, and optionally upload reference images, video, or audio. Set duration and aspect ratio, generate, then refine with instruction-based editing and download your clip. You can try MiniMax H3 in the generator above.

What can MiniMax H3 do?

MiniMax H3 (Hailuo 3.0) generates cinematic video from text or images with native 2K resolution, synchronized audio, and clips up to 15 seconds. It supports omni multi-reference input, multi-shot storytelling in a single clip, instruction-based editing, and strong physics and motion inherited from earlier Hailuo models.

Does MiniMax H3 have audio?

Yes. MiniMax H3 generates native synchronized stereo audio in the same pass as the video, including dialogue, sound effects, and ambient atmosphere timed to on-screen action, with lip-sync potential for speech. This removes the need for separate audio generation and post-production sound design.

What resolution is MiniMax H3?

MiniMax H3 (Hailuo 3.0) outputs native 2K video at 2560 x 1440, generated inside the model rather than upscaled, at a cinematic 24 fps. Common cinematic and social aspect ratios such as 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, and 21:9 are supported.

Can MiniMax H3 do image to video?

Yes. MiniMax H3 supports image-to-video: upload a still image and the model animates it with natural motion and camera movement while preserving character identity and style. With start and end frame control in the Hailuo lineage, it is well suited to product shots, portraits, and turning artwork into motion.

How is Hailuo 3 different from Hailuo 2?

Hailuo 3 (MiniMax H3) is a major step up from Hailuo 2 and Hailuo 2.3. Where earlier models produced mostly silent 1080p clips of around 6 to 10 seconds, Hailuo 3 adds native 2K resolution, synchronized audio, longer clips up to 15 seconds, omni multi-reference control, and multi-shot storytelling, while keeping Hailuo's strong physics and motion. Try MiniMax H3 in the generator above to see the difference for yourself.

How does MiniMax H3 compare to Seedance?

MiniMax H3 (Hailuo 3.0) and ByteDance's Seedance are both frontier AI video models. MiniMax H3 emphasizes native 2K with synchronized audio, omni multi-reference control, and multi-shot storytelling in a single clip, building on Hailuo's motion and physics strengths. The best model depends on your shot, and the fastest way to decide is to try MiniMax H3 in the generator above and compare the results.

How does Hailuo 3 compare to Kling?

Hailuo 3 (MiniMax H3) and Kling are both strong cinematic video models. Hailuo 3 stands out for native audio generation, omni references combining images, video, and audio, and coherent multi-shot output, alongside its established motion quality. Rather than rely on spec sheets, run the same prompt through MiniMax H3 in the generator above and compare the output directly.
