MiniMax H3 Prompt Guide

[Subject] [performs one visible action] in [environment]. [Camera starting position], then [camera movement] and finish on [final framing]. [Lighting source and quality], [visual style], natural motion, [details that must remain consistent], no scene cut.

Use this when the model must build the complete shot from text. Replace every bracketed phrase with one concrete visual decision.

Animate the subject with [specific movement]. The camera [camera movement or remains locked]. Preserve the face, clothing, composition, colors, and background from the source image. Add only [small environmental motion]. Natural timing, stable geometry, no scene cut.

The image already defines appearance and composition, so the prompt concentrates on motion and preservation.

Use the image reference for subject identity and wardrobe. Use the video reference for movement and timing. Create a new shot in [environment] with [camera direction]. Preserve facial features, body proportions, and clothing details. Do not copy unrelated background elements from the motion reference.

Assign one clear role to each source before describing the new shot and its non-negotiable details.

A solitary astronaut crosses a wind-shaped ice field at blue hour, low tracking shot, fine snow moving across the lens, restrained camera shake, cold cyan light with a warm horizon, cinematic realism

One subject action, one camera path, environmental motion, and a controlled lighting contrast.

A woman in a red raincoat walks through a neon-lit Tokyo side street, rain reflecting across the pavement, slow dolly-in, shallow depth of field, passing umbrellas in the foreground, natural walking motion, cinematic night photography

Uses foreground movement and reflections to create depth without adding another scene.

Begin behind a half-open workshop door, push slowly into a quiet room where a violin maker lifts a finished instrument toward the window, warm morning light, floating dust, subtle handheld movement, finish on a medium close-up

Defines a readable beginning, camera transition, subject action, and final composition.

The same young chef from the reference turns toward camera, smiles naturally, and plates the final dish, preserve facial features and apron details, medium close-up, gentle handheld movement, warm restaurant lighting

States identity constraints before expression, action, framing, and light.

A model in a structured silver jacket walks through a white gallery, fabric moving naturally with each step, preserve the garment shape and face, camera tracks parallel at waist height, soft overhead light, no scene cut

Connects garment consistency to a simple lateral movement the viewer can judge.

A detective enters a dim archive, pauses, then looks toward a moving desk lamp, keep the same face, coat, and hairstyle, slow pan from the doorway to a medium shot, restrained expression, atmospheric dust, realistic motion

Uses a short sequence while keeping identity and camera direction explicit.
