# MiniMax H3 Image to Video

> MiniMax H3 image to video model with fixed 2K output

<Tip>
  1. Submit the request with `VIDGO_API_KEY`. After submission, a `task_id` is returned. If `callback_url` is provided, Vidgo sends the result after the task finishes or fails.
  2. You can always retrieve the result through the unified [Query Task Status](/api-manual/task-management/status) endpoint.
</Tip>

## Available Models

* **minimax/h3/image-to-video** - MiniMax H3 image to video generation with 2K output

## Capabilities

* **Image To Video**: Generate from one starting frame and an optional ending frame.
* **2K Output**: Output resolution is fixed at `2K`.

## Input Modes

* `image_urls` is required and cannot be combined with reference-media fields.
* All media URLs must be publicly accessible and directly downloadable.

## Parameter Notes

* `prompt` is required and accepts up to 2,000 characters.
* `duration` accepts an integer from `5` through `15` seconds and defaults to `5`.
* `resolution` accepts only `2K`.
* `aspect_ratio` is not accepted because output follows the first image.
* `image_urls` accepts one starting frame and one optional ending frame.

## Billing

Video generation is billed by output duration.
