A studio product shot, generated with MiniMax H3
We generated this unbranded ceramic-bottle clip on October 2, 2026. It was delivered after the content checks. This is one real result, not a promise that every run will look the same.

Original prompt
A single unbranded ivory ceramic bottle stands on a dark stone plinth in a warm studio. The camera makes a slow, smooth quarter orbit around the bottle. Soft amber rim light reveals the ceramic texture. Keep the bottle shape and background consistent, with no text, logos, people, or abrupt cuts.

A clear path from prompt or image to video
The workspace keeps the input, model choice and credit cost visible before you generate.
Transparent pricing
A 6-second MiniMax H3 clip costs 210 credits in either input mode, longer clips cost more, and the cost is shown before submission.
Two supported inputs
Start with a text prompt or one reference image, with an optional end frame for supported image-to-video runs. Clip lengths run from 4 to 15 seconds; available resolution options are shown in the workspace.
Return to your renders
Submitted jobs stay in your History, so you can come back to the finished file after the render completes.
Know the cost first
The current credit cost appears beside the generate action before you commit to a run. The default 6-second rate is 210 credits; longer clips or a different resolution can cost more.
Animate one reference image
Upload a still as the opening frame and describe the motion you want MiniMax H3 to create. A second image can guide the closing frame when the control is available.
Iterate from the same workspace
Text to video and image to video use the same account and credit balance. Review each render before changing the prompt or frame pair.
