# MiniMax H3 Max

> The tuned edition of MiniMax H3 — from words or from your frames, at three sizes, with a seed and its own sound.

**MiniMax H3 Max** is a tuned edition of [MiniMax H3](https://routix.studio/help/video-models/minimax-h3): it follows your words more closely. It works from your words alone, or from a picture of yours as the first frame — with a second one as the last frame if you like. When Studio offers it, you find it under **Videos** on Studio's home and **Generation** in **Choose a model**.

The price is never written here — prices change. It is on the model's page in Studio: on the **Make** button and beside each length, size or quality that changes it, before you press.

## Writing for it

Say what happens, plainly. From a frame, the video keeps your picture's shape.

**Prompt expansion** lets the model enrich your words before it starts: **Balanced** is quick, **Quality** thinks longer for a richer result, **Off** uses your words exactly as you wrote them.

Turn **Sound** on to keep the sound it makes with the video. A **Seed** under **Advanced** lets you ask for the same starting point again.
