A real asynchronous generation flow

How it works

Prompt to video, simply.

  1. 01Describe
    Use a prompt, frames, or multimodal references. The server creates the task.
  2. 02Track progress
    Follow queued and running provider status, with refresh recovery in this browser.
  3. 03Download
    Preview and download only after the provider returns a ready result URL.

The server creates the task. Follow real provider status and recover after refresh in this browser. Download when a result URL is ready. Provider-confirmed failures return reserved credits; uncertain submissions enter reconciliation.

Common questions

Questions,
answered.

What to know before you create.

01What can MiniMax H3 generate?

Text-to-video supports 4–15 seconds, 2K, aspect ratio, and an optional visible AIGC watermark. Image mode accepts a first and optional last frame; reference mode accepts supported image, video, and audio reference URLs.

02How are credits calculated?

MiniMax H3 2K generation is quoted at 25 credits per output second. The server-side estimate shown before submission is authoritative.

03When do annual credits arrive?

The annual plan is paid once for the year. The first monthly allocation arrives after successful purchase; the remaining allocations are scheduled monthly, for twelve releases in total.

04Can I export without a watermark?

The generator exposes an AIGC watermark control, so you may turn the visible watermark off. Any legally or provider-required AI labeling still applies.

05Can I use generated videos commercially?

Commercial use is subject to the Terms of Use, rights in every input and reference, provider rules, and applicable law. The service does not clear or transfer third-party rights.

06What happens if a task fails?

Credits reserved for a provider-confirmed create or terminal failure are returned under the existing ledger contract. Ambiguous tasks remain in reconciliation rather than being described as automatically refunded.
