MiniMax H3 Max

MiniMax's H3 as fal retuned it — the one clip model here that runs on fal alone, because fal did the post-training and nobody else sells these weights. What it buys is *length with sound*: fifteen seconds at 768p is 100 credits, where FLUX 3 asks 212.5 for the same fifteen at 720p and Seedance 2.5 asks 289. Five seconds is 33.5 credits, or 21 at 480p.

It is not the cheapest clip model in the catalog and it is worth being clear about that. P-Video is a quarter of the price, and if the shot is under ten seconds that is where to start. P-Video stops at ten seconds; Veo stops at eight. Above that, this is the least expensive way to get a single continuous take that arrives with its own audio.

Audio is native and always on — there is no sound toggle, because there is no silent tier to save money on. Say what the shot should sound like as well as what it looks like, and put spoken lines in quotation marks.

There is almost nothing else to configure. Two resolutions — 480p to rehearse, 768p to deliver — six aspect ratios, and any length from five to fifteen seconds. Images go in as frames rather than references: a Start image fixes the opening composition and hands the clip its aspect ratio, and an End image gives the motion somewhere to arrive. The End frame needs the Start frame beside it, since it is a destination rather than a subject.

What it does not do is carry a subject. There is no reference tray, no reference video and no reference audio, so anything that is not in those two frames has to be in the prompt. When a face or a product has to stay the same across several shots, that is Seedance 2.5's job.
