A practical MiniMax H3 prompt structure
Strong video prompts make motion legible. Separate what moves, how the camera responds, what stays stable, and how the shot should finish.
Write the shot in five parts
- Subject: name the primary visible subject and its defining material or appearance.
- Action: use one or two concrete motions with a clear direction.
- Camera: specify a static frame, pan, dolly, orbit, crane, or handheld response.
- Environment: add only details that should materially affect the frame.
- Finish: describe light, texture, pace, and the intended final composition.
A translucent glass sculpture rotates slowly as thin ribbons of water orbit clockwise. The camera makes a controlled half-circle dolly at eye level. Neutral studio, crisp side light, restrained reflections. The sculpture settles centered in frame.
Use frames for composition, prompts for motion
When the opening composition matters, use first-frame mode. When a reveal must land precisely, use last-frame mode. Use both boundary frames for a transformation or transition with a known beginning and endpoint.
Reduce conflicting directions
Do not combine several camera moves, unrelated subject actions, and multiple lighting changes in a short shot. Prioritize the single event the viewer must read.
