Try MiniMax H3 Max: Text to Video in the Workbench
Run this model interactively, tune parameters, and compare outputs.
minimax-h3-max-text-to-video
MiniMax H3 Max (Text to Video) is a post-trained variant of MiniMax H3, tuned by fal for stronger prompt adherence, better aesthetics, and higher throughput.
It generates 5 to 15 second clips at 480P or 768P resolution. Prompt expansion (balanced or quality) and multiple aspect ratios are supported.
Example request
Use the Workbench as a request builder: configure parameters for this model in the UI, then open the API tab to copy the exact cURL or Python call.
- Sync
- Async
- Async with SSE
This blocks until the video is ready (typically 5-15 minutes). Prefer Async or Async with SSE for anything beyond quick experimentation.See the video generation reference for more details.

Request parameters
Required parameters
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
prompt | string | — | Text prompt for video generation |
Optional parameters
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
resolution | string | "768P" | Resolution One of: 480P, 768P. |
duration | integer | 5 | Duration (seconds) Range: 5 – 15. |
aspect_ratio | string | "16:9" | Aspect Ratio One of: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16. |
enable_safety_checker | boolean | true | If set to true, the safety checker will be enabled. |
prompt_expansion_mode | string | "balanced" | How much effort to spend rewriting the prompt before generation. ‘balanced’ returns in about a second. ‘quality’ spends up to ~30s on a richer prompt. One of: balanced, quality. |
sync_mode | boolean | false | Return the generated video as base64 instead of a CDN URL. |
seed | integer | — | Random seed. A random seed is selected when omitted. |
