How long does video generation take?
Generation time varies depending on workflow, resolution, duration, service load and upstream processing conditions.
What happens if generation fails?
If an eligible generation fails and consumed credits are automatically reversed, those credits are restored to the applicable balance. A credit reversal for a failed generation is different from a cash refund. See the Refund Policy.
Why is my generation taking longer than usual?
A generation can take longer during busy queues, when higher resolutions or longer durations are selected, or when an upstream service or infrastructure is delayed.
Can I close the page while a video is generating?
Yes, after a task is successfully submitted it is stored and processed server-side. Return later to My Videos to check its current status or access a completed result.
Can I generate with an image reference?
Yes. The image-to-video workflow supports image references; choose that workflow and follow the uploader requirements shown in the generator. Learn about
Can I generate video from text only?
Yes. The text-to-video workflow lets you submit a text prompt without reference media. Learn about
What video resolutions are available?
Current MiniMax3.org H3 generation options include 768p and 2K. The generator shows the settings available for the workflow you select.
What video durations are available?
Current H3 output durations can be selected from 4 to 15 seconds, subject to the settings available in the generator.
Why did my result look different from the prompt?
AI-generated video is probabilistic, so composition, motion, character consistency and details may vary even with similar prompts. Use a clearer subject, camera motion, scene details and fewer conflicting instructions. Read the Prompt Guide.
