MiniMax H3 · 45 credits per video

MiniMax H3 AI video generator — cinematic film that fits your plan

MiniMax H3 is the cinematic engine you can actually afford to use more than once a month. It renders multi-scene films at 45 credits, so a Creator plan makes two of them and a Studio plan four — where the top-tier Kling 3, at 150 credits, fits once. H3 also reads up to nine reference images in a single context, which is what keeps a character and a visual style consistent from the first scene to the last.

Questions, answered

How much does a MiniMax H3 video cost on Kineo?

45 credits per finished film. On the Creator plan (90 credits) that is two films a month; on Studio (180 credits) it is four.

Why choose MiniMax H3 over Kling 3?

Cost and consistency. Kling 3 costs 150 credits, so only the Studio plan fits one per month. H3 costs 45, and it accepts up to nine reference images at once — which is the difference between a character who looks the same in every scene and one who drifts. Kling 3 still wins when a scene needs a person speaking on camera with native lip sync.

Does MiniMax H3 generate its own audio?

The model can, but Kineo keeps it muted on purpose. Your narration is spoken exactly as you wrote it, and letting the model add a second voice on top would break that. The soundtrack you hear is chosen to match the subject of the video.
