AI OGO has lowered the cost of video generation with MiniMax H3. Savings depend on resolution and settings and reach up to 81%.
How much cheaper is MiniMax H3 video generation now?
AI OGO has revised the cost of video generation with the MiniMax H3 model. The price drop varies, depending on resolution, clip length and whether you add references. If you produce video regularly and at volume, the difference is significant.
Here are the exact figures by resolution:
- 768p: a 10-second video now costs 2,170 credits instead of 8,310, a saving of about 74% at the same resolution.
- 480p: the most affordable option at 155 credits per second, 775 for 5 seconds and 1,550 for 10 seconds.
- 1080p: 10 seconds cost 4,650 credits, roughly 66% less than the 2K option at 13,500 credits.
The maximum saving of 81% comes from comparing 480p with 768p. The full pricing table and terms for other models are on the current pricing page.
How do you calculate your actual savings?
To be clear, AI OGO isn't calling MiniMax H3 a cheap service overall. This is specifically a price cut for video generation with this model. The final cost of a given clip depends on three things: the resolution you choose, the aspect ratio, and whether you add images, video or audio as references. Higher resolution and more references mean a higher price, which makes sense.
For a quick draft of an idea, 480p is almost always the best value. If the video is headed for a final edit or a product showcase, 1080p or 2K is the smarter choice despite the higher price.
What can MiniMax H3 do?
On AI OGO, MiniMax H3 works in three modes. Text-to-video creates a clip from a text description of the scene. Image-to-video animates a source frame, and you can also set an end frame to get the motion you want. Reference-to-video lets you combine images, video and audio at once to build a clip from multiple sources.
Resolutions range from 480p to 2K. Duration depends on the mode: 1 to 15 seconds at 480p and 768p, up to 10 seconds at 1080p, and 4 to 15 seconds in modes with 2K and certain specific aspect ratios.
Aspect ratios and references
For 480p, the recommended formats are 9:5 and 5:9. Compatible modes also support 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1 and 21:9, while reference mode picks the aspect ratio adaptively. You can upload up to 9 images, 3 videos and 3 audio files as input: images in JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 30 MB, video in MP4 or MOV up to 50 MB, and audio in MP3 or WAV up to 15 MB.
Sound and scene control
MiniMax H3 can generate sound along with the video: speech, music and sound effects. Camera movement and on-screen action are set through the text description, and in the supported mode you can set a seed to reproduce results.
