The ⚡ price is calculated from the Studio price list on October 16, 2026: 1 ⚡ ≈ $0.025. The exact amount is always shown on the Generate button before you start; it depends on duration, quality and sound. Not every combination of duration and quality is available for every model: the upper price is an estimate at the maximum values.

What it is good for

  • A clip from text alone, when you have no picture yet.
  • Animating a ready frame: your picture becomes the start of the clip.
  • A scene with your characters, objects and place from references, keeping their look.

Prompt tips

  • Formula: subject + action (present tense) + camera + light + style and mood.
  • Use concrete details ("golden hour", "low angle", "slow motion") rather than verdicts like "beautiful" or "epic".
  • The sweet spot is 30-80 words; duration is a setting, not something to write in words.

Common mistakes

  • In image-to-video describe only the action, not what is already in the frame.
  • Do not write the duration into the text ("ten seconds"): choose it in the settings.
  • Starting Image to video without a Start frame: it will not start without a picture.
  • Asking for a duration outside the range: for MiniMax H3 it is 4–15 s.
  • Uploading more references than the model takes: at most 9 images.
