Video Post-Production, Beware! MiniMax H3: Hand-drawn Sketches Become Visual Effects, and the Multimodal “Coding Moment” Has Arrived

MiniMax has released H3, its next-generation video model, and open-sourced it.

H3 can generate finished videos directly from text, images, audio, and video references, including subtitles, transitions, visual effects, and voiceovers.

It supports 2K output and multimodal editing, and practical tests reportedly place it near the top of video-editing benchmarks.

Its low pricing and open-source release could reshape post-production, ad creation, and branded content workflows.
