Upload a clip and MiniMax H3 builds a new one from it — restyled, re-voiced, or carried on past where it stopped. Up to three sources, 2 to 15 seconds each, 4 to 15 seconds out. It does not touch your file.

What happens to your clip
Nothing, technically. That is the part worth knowing first.
MiniMax H3 video to video AI reads your clip as a condition and generates a fresh one that obeys it. The action, the framing and the timing carry over because you asked for them, not because the pixels were preserved. Give it up to three sources, 2 to 15 seconds each and 15 seconds combined, and you get back 4 to 15 seconds at 768P or 2K with sound in the same MP4.

Runway Aleph and Gemini Omni Flash have an edit endpoint: they mutate the file you hand them. MiniMax H3 has no such endpoint. Video goes in through the reference path, and what comes out is a new clip built to resemble yours. That sounds like a downside until you look at the board — H3 sits first on the video editing arena precisely because regenerating with full multimodal context beats surgical edits on the changes people actually want.
It does set the rule for this page: whatever you do not pin down can move. In practice that means writing down the things you assumed were safe — the background, the wardrobe, the time of day — because none of them are load-bearing until you say so. Combining several assets into a scene that never existed is a different job — that is reference to video.
Four task types
MiniMax H3 declares what it is doing in the prompt, and the four jobs below are four different declarations. Picking the wrong one is the most common reason a result drifts.
Restyle — the look changes, the action stays
[video editing]Describe only the new look and leave the rest alone; anything you mention is fair game to change. Motion and timing are the parts that survive best, surfaces and lighting the parts that move.
Re-voice — new words, same face
[video editing + audio reuse]Write the line short enough to fit the seconds you asked for, or the lips will not land.
Continue — pick up where the clip stopped
[video continuation]Your clip is the run-up; describe what happens after the last frame.
Move the camera — borrow the move, drop the subject
[reference generation]Your clip supplies only the movement. Describe the new subject and say nothing about the move itself — name it twice and you can no longer tell which instruction the camera followed.
Officially this one is reference generation. It is taught on reference to video.
The bracketed names are the official `summary` prefixes, not our shorthand. Restyle, re-voice and continue also open with `The target video is an edited version of <Video 1>.`
Source requirements
The checker above reads your file before it uploads and tells you which number is wrong, not just that something is.
Your source is billed by its own length, on top of the output. Ten seconds in and ten seconds out at 2K is charged twice over. Trim the source to the seconds that matter and the same run costs a third less.
Frame size runs 256 to 5,760 pixels on each side and the aspect has to sit between 0.4 and 2.5, which almost anything shot on a phone already satisfies. Two more: reference video replaces first and last frame control, so you cannot use both, and output is always 24 fps. Full rates are on pricing.
Audio comes with it
Upload a clip and its audio is conditioned on too, whether or not you meant it to be.
This is why a voice you never uploaded turns up in the result, and it carries gender and accent with it. A laugh recorded from a woman still reads as a woman's laugh on a man's face.
Keep it whole
The original track becomes the finished track.
fully_copyKeep it under new dialogue
The music survives, mixed beneath lines you write.
partially_copyMotion only
The audio is dropped and the clip conditions on movement alone.
weak_referenceThese are three of the eight retention markers H3 reads; the other five matter more when you are building a scene from scratch.
Third-party blind tests
Artificial Analysis runs blind head-to-head preference tests with public vote counts. This is the 2026-08-14 snapshot of the Video Editing (With Audio) board.
Video editing (with audio)
#1
Read the rest of the row before you quote it: Gemini Omni Flash is three points behind at 1,124 and the intervals overlap. That is a tie, not a win. The claim that holds cleanly is narrower and more useful — H3 is the only open-weights model on that board, and it is at the top of it.
When to use something else: Runway Aleph 2.0 sits sixth here, but it performs real edits on your file and takes longer clips. If you need a surgical change to footage you cannot afford to have redrawn, that is the tool.
How H3 compares goes through the rest.

Responsible use
Re-voice makes a real person on screen say something they did not say. That is the highest-risk control on this site.
