What is MiniMax H3 Edit?
MiniMax H3 Edit is a video-to-video model from MiniMax, built on the H3 family. You upload a clip of up to 15 seconds and describe the change, such as rain, snow, night or a film look, and the model keeps the footage's people, framing and motion. A new soundtrack is added by default, and output comes in 480p, 540p or 768p.
Best on PopNow for: Re-lighting or re-dressing footage you already shot, such as moving a daytime walk into snow or giving a clip a vintage grade, without going back to the location.
Good for
- Turning a sunny street shot into rain, snow or night
- Giving the same footage a film, anime or vintage look
- Moving a scene to a new place while the people keep their moves
What MiniMax H3 Edit does well
Your footage keeps the plot
The source clip still decides who is in the frame, how it is composed and how they move. The prompt is for what changes, so a new sky or a wet street leaves the person's pose and timing where you filmed them.
Change first, then what stays
A dependable prompt names the alteration and then the things to protect, such as a face, an outfit or a stride. That order keeps the model focused on the edit instead of rebuilding the whole scene around it.
Sound on or off
Turn sound on for a fresh soundtrack that suits the new mood, or turn it off to keep the clip's own audio. The choice does not change the price.

Make it a snowy winter night: heavy snow falling, frost on the ground, warm street lamps glowing and breath visible in the cold air. Keep the person, the outfit and the motion the same.
The first sentence names the new condition in concrete terms: heavy snow, frost, warm lamps and breath in the cold air. The second sentence lists what must stay, the person, the outfit and the motion. Because the walk is protected, the edit changes the weather and the light but not the stride.

Best ways to use MiniMax H3 Edit on PopNow
Where this model already does the work for you, from one-tap apps to the full studio.
Re-light a daytime clip
Turn a sunny street or a beach shot into dusk, rain or snow without reshooting the scene. Keep the people in the clip and change only what sits around them.
OpenA film look for home footage
Apply a vintage or cinematic treatment to a family clip and keep the faces and movements of the people in it. A short prompt with the look and the protected details works best.
OpenMatched takes for a short film
Edit each take to the same weather and grade, then cut them together as one scene so the sequence reads as a single day.
OpenHow to prompt MiniMax H3 Edit
- Describe the change, not the action: wording about movement can change the movement too.
- Trim the source to 15 seconds or less and set the length to match it.
- Turn sound off to keep the original audio of your clip.
Settings worth knowing
Everything else has a sensible default, so you can type a prompt and go.
resolution480p · 540p · 768p- Output size. Bigger sizes look sharper and cost more.
aspect_ratio16:9 · 9:16 · 1:1 · 4:3 +3- The shape of the frame: wide, square or tall.

reference_image_urls≤ 9- Pictures of the people, outfits or places the result should keep.
reference_audio_urls≤ 3- Audio to match: a voice, music or a rhythm.

How it compares
Same kind of job, different strengths and prices.
Kling O3 also edits clips and works up to 4K. H3 Edit is the quicker, lower-priced choice for restyling and weather changes.
Where MiniMax H3 Edit falls short
You pay for the edited seconds plus the seconds of the source clip.
- Source clips are limited to 15 seconds. Trim longer footage before you upload it.
- When the prompt describes movement, the model can add small gestures the source did not have. In one storm test a hand went to the hair, so check the cut for changes to the motion.
- Lower resolutions are cheaper and finish sooner, but they can read differently. A 480p trial showed heavier rain than 768p for the same prompt, so judge the look at the size you will publish.
How to use MiniMax H3 Edit in three steps
- Open the video studio, choose MiniMax H3 Edit and upload the MP4 clip.
- Write the change, then what must stay. Set the length to your clip, up to 15 seconds.
- Pick 768p for the final look, decide whether to keep sound, check the credit total, then generate.
Questions about MiniMax H3 Edit
How much does MiniMax H3 Edit cost?
On PopNow, the cheapest run of MiniMax H3 Edit costs 150 credits ($0.15) for a 5-second clip. Larger sizes cost more: 480p 150 · 540p 225 · 768p 330. You pay with credits (1 credit = $0.001), the exact cost shows on the Generate button before you start, and failed generations are refunded automatically.
How long and how sharp are MiniMax H3 Edit videos?
Clips run 3–15s at up to 768p, with sound generated along with the picture.
Is the source clip billed as well as the edit?
Yes. The source seconds are charged alongside the edited seconds, both at the rate for the resolution you pick. Set the length to your clip if you want the whole thing edited.
How many credits does an edit cost?
30 credits per second at 480p, 45 at 540p and 66 at 768p. A five-second clip edited at 768p is billed as ten seconds, 660 credits, because the source is charged too.
Can I keep the original sound?
Yes. Turn sound off and the clip returns with its own soundtrack. With sound on, the edit gets a new track to match the change.
What length can I edit?
Between 3 and 15 seconds. A longer clip is refused before anything is charged, so trim it first.
Does 768p look the same as 480p?
Not always. The lower tiers finish sooner and cost less, but the same prompt can look different at each size, so compare the two before you choose.
MiniMax H3 Edit or Kling O3?
Kling O3 also edits clips and works up to 4K. H3 Edit is the quicker, lower-priced choice for restyling and weather changes.
