What Minimax H3 is used for
Video generation is the most expensive category to experiment with. Start from stills when you need a specific frame, and from a text prompt when you need an idea you do not have yet. Plan for retries: a usable clip usually means several generations. Watch the maximum clip length and whether the model produces audio on its own, since adding sound afterwards changes the workflow.
