MiniMax Hailuo 03 Max Turbo

Node type: video:minimax_h3_max_turbo_t2v
Category: video

Description

MiniMax Hailuo 03 Max Turbo: faster-than-real-time video from text or a first frame, 480P or 768P, up to 15s

Pricing

• Cost: ~13 credits per seconds
• Notes: PERMANENT post-promo list rates: $0.025/s at 480P, $0.04/s at 768P, $0.08/s at 1080P. FAL currently lists a 75%-off 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, prompt_expansion_mode required) fetched from fal.ai OpenAPI for minimax/h3-max-turbo/{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 Turbo 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 Turbo. If you need reference images or reference audio, use the plain MiniMax Hailuo 03 node instead.

What Turbo trades

Turbo is the fast tier of Hailuo 03 Max: MiniMax generates faster than real time, so a 5 second clip comes back in a couple of seconds rather than a couple of minutes. It costs about half what plain Hailuo 03 Max does per second at the same resolution. Fidelity is a step below Max, so this is the node for iterating on a shot and for anything where turnaround matters more than the last few percent of detail. Render the keeper on MiniMax Hailuo 03 Max once the prompt is right.

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 just under five times a 5 second 480P one. Duration is a whole number of seconds, 5 to 15.

Turbo 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. "quality" leans harder on the rewrite and suits a short prompt. Turbo has no "disabled" setting, unlike the Max node next to it, so a detailed shot description will still get some rewriting.

Prompts can run to 50,000 characters, so there is no practical reason to trim a detailed one.
