MiniMax H3 Max · 60 credits per 60-second video

MiniMax H3 Max AI video generator — the sharpest MiniMax film engine

MiniMax H3 Max is the post-trained version of MiniMax H3, running in the same Kineo cinematic pipeline: your script is narrated word for word, every scene is planned against the narration and anchored to its own still image, and Kineo adds captions and a soundtrack before delivering a vertical 1080×1920 master. A 60-second finished film costs 60 credits (MiniMax H3: 45), so a Creator plan makes 2 and a Studio plan 5 — against 2 Kling 3 films at 150 credits each.

MiniMax H3 Max is unlocked on every account. Its 60-credit 60-second cost is covered by the Starter monthly grant; the 10-credit free trial does not cover one.

Every engine, side by side

Engine	Cost	Plan	Reach for it when
Seedance 1.5	35 cr	Starter	Anything that does not exist on a stock site: an abandoned island, a burning crater, a 1922 expedition. Mystery, history and “weird facts” channels live here.
Kling 2.5	60 cr	Starter	Sports, action, travel and any topic where the camera itself is part of the storytelling.
Veo 3.1	100 cr	Creator	The hero video of a channel: the one render a week that has to look expensive. Prompt adherence and scene coherence are its strong suit.
Kling 3	150 cr	Creator	Talking-head storytelling without a camera, a face, or a studio. The renders people say “that does not even look like AI” about.
MiniMax H3	45 cr	Starter	Dialogue-led explainers and frequent cinematic publishing where lower credit cost matters more than perfect identity continuity.
MiniMax H3 Max · you are here	60 cr	Starter	Narrated cinematic films with people and faces when you want a step up from MiniMax H3 without paying Kling 3 prices.
Seedance 2.5	150 cr	Creator	Spectacle: weather, explosions, machines, crowds, historical set pieces — scenes where the newest motion model earns its cost. On paid plans only.

Questions, answered

How much does a MiniMax H3 Max video cost on Kineo?

60 credits per 60-second finished film; shorter and longer films are priced in proportion to their length. The Creator monthly grant fits 2 films; Studio fits 5.

MiniMax H3 Max or MiniMax H3?

Same pipeline, same rules: word-for-word narration, anchored scenes, captions and soundtrack. H3 Max is MiniMax's post-trained model and renders a little sharper; H3 costs 45 credits per 60-second film and H3 Max 60. Pick H3 when you publish often on a small plan, H3 Max when the look matters more.

Does MiniMax H3 Max 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.
