What is MiniMax H3 I2V?

MiniMax H3 Image-to-Video animates your image into a clip with audio generated in the same pass. The output follows the input image's framing; an optional end frame turns the same endpoint into a first-to-last-frame interpolation. Four resolution tiers (480p, 768p, 2K, 4K) and any duration from 5 to 15 seconds. Billing is per second of output and rises with the tier, at the model's cost plus a flat 20% platform fee, shown before you spend.
