44 official MiniMax H3 prompt examples

This MiniMax H3 prompt guide collects the official examples so you can study how a prompt, a video, and an endpoint work together. Filter by category, hover a card to play the clip, then copy the full prompt or open it and try the same recipe in ViewMax.

How to write MiniMax H3 prompts

The official guide is less about magic words and more about directing the model like a shoot: every reference has a job, every shot has a time, and sound is part of the picture.

Give every reference a job

Say what Image 1, Video 1, or Audio 1 is for—character lock, motion, wardrobe, or keyframe. Unlabeled references get blended instead of directed.

Write a timed shot list

For anything longer than one beat, spell the cut, camera move, and duration. MiniMax H3 follows a sequence more reliably than a mood paragraph.

Direct the audio, not just the picture

Call the voice, SFX, and music the same way you call the lens. Native stereo audio is generated with the clip, so silence is also a choice.

Stay inside 7,000 characters

A full shot list with sound design fits in one request. Put the constraint next to the change, and say what must not move.

MiniMax H3 prompt FAQ

How the official examples map onto ViewMax generation.

What are these MiniMax H3 prompts?

They are the 44 official examples from the MiniMax H3 (Hailuo 03) prompting guide: each card pairs a finished video with the full prompt text and the endpoint that produced it.


What is the difference between text to video, reference to video, and first & last frame?

Text to video is prompt-only. Reference to video locks characters, products, motion, or voice from uploaded media. First & last frame animates between stills so the clip opens and closes on the frames you choose.


How long can a MiniMax H3 prompt be?

Prompts can run up to 7,000 characters, which is enough for a timed shot list, constraints, and sound direction in a single request.


Can I run these prompts in ViewMax?

Yes. Copy a prompt, then use Generate with MiniMax H3 or Try in ViewMax to open the MiniMax H3 editor with the same model. Attach your own references when the example used images or video.


Do I need the original reference images?

Reference-to-video and first-and-last-frame examples depend on those assets. You can restage the recipe with your own stills, or study the prompt language and apply it to new subjects.
