Quick H3 Prompt Format

MiniMax H3 prompts can separate the visual timeline, physical sound and audience-only music into structured fields. Reference workflows add explicit roles for images, video, audio, people or objects. For most prompts, focus on:

  1. what the subject does,
  2. what changes over time,
  3. one clear camera movement,
  4. the sound that belongs inside the scene,
  5. only the visual details that must remain fixed.

For the complete H3 field structure, reference-role system, shot timing and failure diagnosis, read the MiniMax H3 Prompt Guide.

Quick Prompt Tips

  • Start with one clear subject and action.
  • Describe observable motion rather than abstract adjectives.
  • Use one main camera move per shot.
  • Assign each reference one explicit role.
  • Separate physical sound from background score.
  • Lock only the details that must not drift.

MiniMax H3 Prompt Library FAQ

Can I copy these H3 prompts?

Yes. Every card is a ready-to-adapt template. Copy it, then replace the subject, setting, references and brand details for your project.

Can I use these prompts for commercial videos?

Yes, the library includes ad-oriented starting points. You remain responsible for rights to brands, people, media inputs and final outputs.

How do I load a prompt into the generator?

Choose Use Prompt on any card. The existing generator preset flow loads the text and moves you to the editor without changing credit or generation logic.

Which prompt should I use for image-to-video?

Start with an Image-to-Video card when you have an opening image. State what must remain fixed, then describe only the movement and changes that follow.

Which prompt should I use for reference video?

Use a Reference-to-Video card when a video supplies motion, camera behavior or pacing. Assign that role explicitly instead of asking H3 to copy everything.

Can I customize these prompts?

Yes. Adjust the subject, action, setting, timing, camera move, sound and references while keeping the structure concise.

Where can I learn H3 prompt structure?

Read the MiniMax H3 Prompt Guide for field structure, reference roles, shot timing, continuity and failure diagnosis.
