How text to video works here
You write a prompt and the model decides the motion, camera and sound from your words. The clearest prompts read like a single shot list: the subject, what they do, how the camera moves, the light, and what we hear.
Pick MiniMax H3 for native 2K or H3 Max for fast drafts, choose a length from 4–15 seconds and a shape from 21:9 to 9:16, and the button shows the exact credits before you generate.
Stuck for an idea? Use "Give me an idea" in the prompt box, or start from one of the examples on this page — "Use this prompt" copies it exactly as it was rendered.
