“Use Images 1–4 as sequential keyframes, seen through a vintage binocular viewfinder searching for the MINIMAX installation. Open out of focus with subtle handheld shake, then push in quickly and rack focus onto Image 1. Between keyframes, use fast binocular-scan transitions with whip movement, motion blur, optical smearing, and brief exposure flicker. Cut at peak blur, then settle and snap back into focus. Keep the twin circular lens mask absolutely fixed throughout: identical position, scale, feathered black vignette, and edge softness, with no warping or drift. Only the image inside the mask may move. In Image 2, let the fabric move gently in the wind while the MINIMAX lettering follows the folds and remains legible. In Image 3, the subject should feel like a stylish passerby caught by chance, walking, turning, and swinging their arms naturally. In Image 4, the subject adjusts their glasses or lifts their chin slightly with a cool, effortless fashion-campaign attitude. Red typography should resolve with the focus: begin slightly blurred and at low opacity, then fade into clarity over 0.3–0.5 seconds. A subtle vertical slide or slight tracking expansion is allowed. Fade it out before the next transition or let motion blur carry it away. No spins, bounces, or large fly-ins/outs. Visual language: a voyeuristic, Wes Anderson-inspired 35 mm film look with fine grain, soft highlight halation, restrained color, and red typographic accents. Minimal, premium, lightly playful. Do not add people, vehicles, buildings, or logos. Preserve the core composition and the MINIMAX installation exactly. PRODUCTION CONTROL MODE: Reference to Video. Assign Images 1–4 only as sequential visual anchors. TIMELINE: 0–3s search and rack focus; 3–10s two fast scan transitions; 10–15s settle on the final mark. CONTINUITY LOCKS: the twin circular mask, vignette softness and installation lettering never change geometry. CAMERA: handheld micro-shake inside the mask only; cut at peak motion blur. AUDIO: wind, cloth movement and two short optical whooshes; restrained low pulse, no dominant score. END FRAME: hold the final mark sharp for one second. AVOID: mask drift, melted text, cross-dissolves and extra subjects.”

This is a fashion campaign for the clothing and bag. The tone is elevated, cool, and restrained, but the edit should still feel lively and fashion-forward—not like a conventional narrative film or an e-commerce ad. Keep the story simple: beside a vintage car on a desert highway, a woman walks to the rear of the car, opens the trunk, takes out a black bag, shares a quiet beat with the man standing nearby, then leaves carrying the bag. Integrate the clothing and bag naturally into the performance so they feel like part of the characters’ identity. PRODUCTION CONTROL MODE: Reference to Video.

“Create a 15-second, 16:9 opening-title sequence for a stylish crime mystery. Draw from retro Japanese animation titles, hard-edged silhouettes, comic-book collage, asymmetric split screens, bold geometric color fields, English credit typography, sparse katakana accents, and a noir-jazz sensibility. Aim for 60% suspense and 40% jazz: mysterious, cool, agile, and urban—never horror, heavy drama, or a cheerful jazz music video. Build the sequence as motion-graphics collage: linework appears over black, split-screen boundaries snap into place, then color blocks and frames assemble piece by piece. Character silhouettes, prop close-ups, and English credits slide, pop, and reveal through masks on the beat. Keep it designed and graphic, not like conventional narrative animation. Credits must be clean and legible. Animate thin frames drawing on, names sliding in, letters appearing one at a time, or color blocks revealing type, then hold briefly. Do not introduce Chinese text, garbled characters, or misspellings. Each role and each name appears once only; do not assign multiple roles to the same name. Vary the transitions: circular vinyl-record wipes, vertical car-door cuts, long character shadows wiping frame, red-line slices, oversized letter masks, split-screen reconfigurations, hard color-block cuts, and tiled frames snapping into place. Keep every transition crisp, rhythmic, suspenseful, and collage-driven. No soft dissolves or fluid morphs. BGM: an original 15-second title cue, 60% suspense and 40% jazz. Use a low drone, tense string pizzicato, cool synth pulses, low kick, sparse brushwork, fragments of walking bass, short baritone-sax phrases, and clipped brass accents. Build suspense with low frequencies and hi-hat in the first 2 seconds; bring in the low beat at 3 seconds, jazz-bass movement at 6 seconds, and a short sax/brass riff at 10 seconds. Freeze the final 2 seconds on a tense chord and drum hit. Keep it mysterious and criminally cool, never upbeat, and do not imitate an existing melody. PRODUCTION CONTROL MODE: Reference to Video. Images 1–5 define graphic language, character silhouettes, palette and credit layout; do not combine identities across references. SHOT PLAN: black-and-white linework → geometric split-screen assembly → prop close-ups → final ensemble title. TYPOGRAPHY LOCK: exact English credit strings supplied in the prompt, one credit per card, minimum one-second hold. MOTION: masks, slides and snap cuts on beat; no fluid morphing. AUDIO: brushed drums, upright bass and clipped brass accents. AVOID: narrative lip sync, 3D rendering, horror imagery and decorative fake text.”

The lived-in kitchen contains an old wooden table, a half-washed mug, a lightly fogged glass bottle, and a hanging dish towel.

Quick H3 Prompt Format

MiniMax H3 prompts can separate the visual timeline, physical sound and audience-only music into structured fields. Reference workflows add explicit roles for images, video, audio, people or objects. For most prompts, focus on:

  1. what the subject does,
  2. what changes over time,
  3. one clear camera movement,
  4. the sound that belongs inside the scene,
  5. only the visual details that must remain fixed.

For the complete H3 field structure, reference-role system, shot timing and failure diagnosis, read the MiniMax H3 Prompt Guide.

Quick Prompt Tips

  • Start with one clear subject and action.
  • Describe observable motion rather than abstract adjectives.
  • Use one main camera move per shot.
  • Assign each reference one explicit role.
  • Separate physical sound from background score.
  • Lock only the details that must not drift.
Need the full method? Read the MiniMax H3 Prompt Guide.

Having trouble with prompt adherence? See the Prompt Guide troubleshooting section.

Match templates to the MiniMax H3 image-to-video guide or the MiniMax H3 reference-to-video guide.

Working on product advertising or a product reveal? The AI product video generator pairs those prompts with a product image to video workflow and worked examples.

MiniMax H3 Prompt Library FAQ

Can I copy these H3 prompts?

Yes. Every card is a ready-to-adapt template. Copy it, then replace the subject, setting, references and brand details for your project.

Can I use these prompts for commercial videos?

Yes, the library includes ad-oriented starting points. You remain responsible for rights to brands, people, media inputs and final outputs.

How do I load a prompt into the generator?

Choose Use Prompt on any card. The existing generator preset flow loads the text and moves you to the editor without changing credit or generation logic.

Which prompt should I use for image-to-video?

Start with an image to video card when you have an opening image. State what must remain fixed, then describe only the movement and changes that follow.

Which prompt should I use for reference video?

Use a reference video card when a video supplies motion, camera behavior or pacing. Assign that role explicitly instead of asking H3 to copy everything.

Can I customize these prompts?

Yes. Adjust the subject, action, setting, timing, camera move, sound and references while keeping the structure concise.

Where can I learn H3 prompt structure?

Read the MiniMax H3 Prompt Guide for field structure, reference roles, shot timing, continuity and failure diagnosis.
