MiniMax Video API for Hailuo motion workflows
Build with MiniMax Video API guides for Hailuo and H3 video tasks. Prepare the scene inputs, compare clip settings and implement task-to-video retrieval.
Working with the MiniMax Video API
Choose the Hailuo or H3 entry
Start with the model and input mode in the directory. Check whether the selected task uses a prompt, an initial image or a supported frame combination.
Give the shot a clear action
Describe what the subject and camera should do over the clip. Match technical options to the document rather than treating prompt instructions as request fields.
Track the clip to completion
Keep submission, task checking and asset retrieval in one application flow. Confirm the returned video before marking the user’s generation as ready.
MiniMax Video API: practical questions
Does every MiniMax video model accept the same frame inputs?
Read the selected model’s guide. Initial-frame and paired-frame workflows can have different requirements.
How should I choose between Hailuo and H3 entries?
Compare the tasks and settings their documents expose for your input assets. Use a sample shot to evaluate the resulting workflow.
Can the application display a video immediately after submission?
Follow the documented response and task flow. A task identifier represents work to track, not necessarily an immediately playable asset.
