Boards that need twelve moving sketches, not one hero
Run the whole board through at 480P for 25 credits a shot, pick the frames that work, and only then spend 40 on a 768P keeper.
This generator runs H3 Max Turbo — 5 credits a second at 480P.
H3 Max Turbo: 5–15s clips, cheaper than H3 Max
5 credits a second at 480P, 8 at 768P, 20 at 1080P. Prompt or start frame in; a 5–15 second clip with audio comes back.

What H3 Max Turbo actually is
H3 Max Turbo is the faster, cheaper sibling of H3 Max: a text-to-video and image-to-video model that returns 5–15 second clips at 480P, 768P or 1080P.
September 2026 preview benchmarks timed it at about twice the speed of H3 Max for about half the compute cost, while targeting the 97th percentile of original H3 Max quality — and still ahead of base H3. Those scores are model-time evals, not this site's queue.
On this generator a second of output is 5 credits at 480P, 8 at 768P and 20 at 1080P. MiniMax's own product name is still MiniMax H3; H3 Max Turbo is the hosted build this page runs.
Family ladder
H3, H3 Max, and H3 Max Turbo on one table
Three rungs of the same family. Speed and quality rows use dated benchmarks, not this site's queue. The credits row is what this generator bills.

Family footage
Steal a prompt, then run H3 Max Turbo
These clips come from the MiniMax H3 Max family this generator sits in — not a Turbo-endpoint gallery. Copy the shape, spend this page's credits on the next take.
One sentence that already has a camera
"A white kitten chases a butterfly across a sunlit garden. Gentle camera tracking, natural movement, soft afternoon light filtering through the leaves." Subject, move, and light in one line — this is the cheaper lane to iterate that shape.
A still that has to speak the line
Image to video starts from one frame you upload. Hand the portrait a sentence and the family build speaks it in the same pass — then re-run the take here without Max-tier credits.
Pixel-art that still has a HUD
Ask for authentic 16-bit / 32-bit side-scrolling footage with a SCORE counter and chiptune, and the family model holds sprite, parallax, and soundtrack together. Use this generator when you need six variants before you pick one.
Slow motion that still has a wing hum
A hummingbird at a trumpet flower, wings a blur, pollen in the backlight. The family pass kept the long-lens bokeh and the rapid wing sound in one file. This is the lane to try a second flower without paying Max rates.
Controls
Dials H3 Max Turbo actually exposes
Same contract as the rest of this family: length, frame, and resolution. The difference is what a second costs on this page.
5 to 15 seconds, whole seconds
Default is 5 seconds. Stretch to 15 when the action needs the extra beats.
Six text-to-video frames
21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 — 16:9 by default. Image to video follows the start frame instead.
480P to hunt, 768P to keep
H3 Max Turbo offers 480P, 768P and 1080P. 768P lands at 1344×768, 24 FPS. There is no 2K lane on this generator.
5 credits a second at 480P
5 credits per second at 480P, 8 at 768P, 20 at 1080P. A 5-second draft is 25; the same shot at 768P is 40, or 100 at 1080P.
Start frame, optional last frame
Image to video requires the opening still. Pin an end frame only when the landing pose matters.
Sound in the same pass
Picture, effects, and spoken lines render together. MiniMax lists dialogue as stable in 11 languages on the H3 family.
Workflow
How to generate with H3 Max Turbo
- 1
Write the shot, or drop the first frame
A sentence is enough for H3 Max Turbo text to video. For image to video, upload the opening still and, if you need it, the closing one.
- 2
Pick seconds, 480P, 768P or 1080P, and a ratio
Stay at 480P while you hunt the take (25 credits for 5 seconds). Switch to 768P — 40 credits for the same length — for the file you keep.
- 3
Watch it, change one word, go again
The file arrives with picture and sound together. Keep the take, or edit the prompt and spend another 25 credits on a 5-second 480P draft.
Volume work
When H3 Max Turbo beats paying Max rates
These jobs need many 5–15 second takes more than they need the last percentile of H3 Max. This is the cheaper rung for that loop.
Hook tests that burn six openers before lunch
Cut six 5-second 9:16 openers, put them in front of the audience, and promote the winner — Max-tier credits wait until something actually holds.
Indie sellers who will not pay 20 credits a second
A pack-shot start frame plus a turn is 25 credits of H3 Max Turbo at 480P. That is the listing clip, not a 100-credit Max render.
Editors plugging five holes in a rough cut
Describe each missing establishing shot, match the timeline ratio, and drop five cheap takes into the gap instead of one expensive one.
Lesson intros that get rewritten twice a week
A headshot plus the new opening line becomes a 5–15 second talking intro. Cheap enough to re-record when the script changes.
Launch posts that need three aspect ratios tonight
One sentence, three runs at 16:9, 1:1, and 9:16. At 25 credits each, 480P covers the set; 768P waits for the channel that actually posts.
Pricing
H3 Max Turbo pricing by the second
H3 Max Turbo is billed per second of finished video: 5 credits at 480P, 8 at 768P, 20 at 1080P. A 5-second 480P draft is 25 credits; signup grants 15, so the first clip needs a plan. $19.90 a month loads 1,000 credits — about 40 five-second 480P takes, 25 at 768P or 10 at 1080P.

FAQ
The H3 Max Turbo questions that actually come up
H3 is MiniMax's base model. H3 Max is a tuned build of that base. H3 Max Turbo is the faster, more cost-efficient version of H3 Max. September 2026 preview benchmarks put H3 Max Turbo at about 2× H3 Max speed and about half the compute cost, targeting the 97th percentile of original H3 Max quality, still ahead of H3.
No. Those September 2026 preview benchmarks are model-time evals on H3 Max Turbo, not a service-level promise for this page. Busy hours add queue time on top. Treat the 2× figure as a family comparison, not a stopwatch for your render.
480P bills 5 credits a second, so the cheapest 5-second take is 25. Signup grants 15, which is not enough for one default clip. A 5-second 768P take is 40. The $19.90 month loads 1,000 credits.
No. The ladder here is 480P, 768P and 1080P, with 480P selected by default (768P is 1344×768 at 24 FPS). Official hosted MiniMax H3 offers 768P and 2K; that 2K lane is not wired in here.
No. MiniMax's own blogs, platform docs, and GitHub still name the family MiniMax H3. H3 Max Turbo is the hosted build this independent generator runs. The page is not an official MiniMax site.
September 2026 preview evals said it targeted the 97th percentile of original H3 Max quality, while still scoring above H3 and other video models in that test set. It is a preview claim, not a guarantee that every take on this page will match a given H3 Max render.
Yes. The start frame is required; an optional end frame pins where the shot lands. The clip keeps the aspect ratio of the still you upload, and the prompt still directs motion and any spoken line.
Whole seconds from 5 to 15, defaulting to 5. Frames are 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16, with 16:9 as the default.
On a paid plan, yes: outputs are yours for lawful commercial work. Trademarks, likenesses, and copyrighted material you put in the prompt still need clearing on your side. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by MiniMax.
5 credits a second
Run H3 Max Turbo on the next take
Hunt at 480P for 5 credits a second. Keep the 768P for 8. Both come with sound already in the file.
