Description
MiniMax Hailuo 03 Max: higher-fidelity video from text or a first frame, at 480P or 768P
Pricing
- Cost: ~20 credits per seconds
- Notes: PERMANENT post-promo list rates: $0.05/s at 480P, $0.08/s at 768P, $0.16/s at 1080P. FAL currently lists a launch promotion (extended to 2026-09-14) — we deliberately do NOT price off the promo, because it expires silently and would turn every run into a loss. Schema (resolution enum 480P/768P/1080P, duration 5-15 integer, prompt maxLength 50000) fetched from fal.ai OpenAPI for minimax/h3-max/{text,image}-to-video on 2026-09-08; 1080P rate quoted from the model page payload the same day. RAW costs: marginMultiplier intentionally undefined, progressive margin applies. Re-verify against the first invoice after 2026-09-14.

One node, two endpoints
MiniMax ships Hailuo 03 Max as two separate APIs. This is one node, and what you wire decides which API the run goes to:
- nothing but a Prompt goes to text-to-video
- an Image goes to image-to-video, and that frame becomes the first frame
There is no reference-to-video on Max. If you need reference images or reference audio, use the plain MiniMax Hailuo 03 node instead.
Resolution is the price
Resolution is the one setting that changes what a run costs. 768P is the default and roughly 60% dearer per second than 480P. Cost is per second of output, so resolution and Duration multiply: a 15 second 768P render is six times a 5 second 480P one. Duration is a whole number of seconds, 5 to 15.
Hailuo 03 Max tops out at 768P. If you want 2K, that is the plain Hailuo 03 node, which renders at 2K only and costs considerably more per second.
Aspect ratio only applies to text-to-video
Aspect Ratio is read on the text-to-video path. It is ignored for image-to-video, where the output follows the shape of the image you wired.
End Frame needs a start frame
End Frame gives you first-to-last keyframe control, and it is only read on the image-to-video path. Wiring an end frame on its own does nothing, because reaching that path requires an Image. Wire both.
Prompt Expansion
Prompt Expansion decides how much MiniMax rewrites your prompt before generating. "balanced" is the default. "disabled" sends your text through untouched, which is what you want when you have already written a detailed shot description and do not want it embellished. "quality" leans hardest on the rewrite and suits a short prompt.
Prompts can run to 50,000 characters, so there is no practical reason to trim a detailed one.
