[Strengths] It accepts up to 9 reference images and optional reference audios, with 5-15 second duration, 480P or 768P output, optional aspect ratio defaulting to 16:9, and optional prompt_expansion_mode (disabled, balanced, or quality). [Best For] Highly recommended for: character or style consistency from stills, product look references, multi-image subject guidance, and prompt-driven scenes featuring a referenced subject. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model for first or last frame transitions, when the primary input is a reference video, or if you need 2K or a 4 second clip. prompt, duration, resolution, and reference_images are required. Do NOT send first_frame_image, last_frame_image, or reference_videos on this endpoint. [Routing] Choose MiniMax H3 Max I2V when the user provides reference stills. For start or end frames, use MiniMax H3 Max FL2V. For reference videos, use MiniMax H3 Max V2V. For text only, use MiniMax H3 Max T2V. For 2K or 4 second clips, use MiniMax H3 I2V. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /media-model-api/minimax/minimax-i2v.json post /minimax/minimax-h3-max-i2v openapi: 3.1.0 info: description: The image-to-video models API from MiniMax. version: 1.0.0 contact: name: Modellix Support email: support@modellix.ai title: MiniMax Image-to-Video Models API servers: - url: https://api.modellix.ai/api/v1 description: The image-to-video models API from MiniMax. security: - bearerAuth: [] paths: /minimax/minimax-h3-max-i2v: post: summary: MiniMax H3 Max I2V description: >- [Core Function] MiniMax H3 Max I2V generates video from reference images plus a text prompt.
