Source video, 5 to 30 seconds

Upload a source video of 5 to 30 seconds. Keep each shot to 15 seconds or less. MiniMax H3 Recast accepts MP4, MOV, and WebM on this page, and it aims to keep that clip’s motion, gestures, camera, shot timing, and soundtrack.

Published source clip for the MiniMax H3 Recast exampleSource clip

One photo per new person

Add 1 to 4 photos, one for each new person. MiniMax H3 Recast uses them to replace the main people from left to right, in every shot those people appear in. A prompt can name a different match. Photos do not add a separate credit charge.

Optional prompt

The prompt is optional. Turn it on to say which photo replaces which person, or what to keep or change. Leave it off and MiniMax H3 Recast still replaces the main people from left to right. The photos are labeled Image 1, Image 2, and so on, so the prompt can point at a specific photo.

768P or 1080P

Choose 768P or 1080P before you generate. MiniMax H3 Recast starts at 768P. 1080P is the sharper option and uses more credits for the same clip.

Enhance realism

Enhance realism asks for more natural skin textures and better blending of the new people into the scene. MiniMax H3 Recast starts with it on. Turn it off when you want the recast without that extra pass.

Credits follow the clip

Credits depend on how long the video is and whether you choose 768P or 1080P. There is no separate duration control. A 10-second clip at 768P costs about 250 credits, and the same clip at 1080P costs about 375 credits. Photos do not change that cost.

Use cases

MiniMax H3 Recast replaces people in a video you already have. Use the clip, the photos, and the optional prompt to set up the change.

Replace one presenter

Upload one photo for the person who should change, and add a prompt if more than one person is in the source. It aims to keep the original motion, gestures, camera, shot timing, and soundtrack. The finished video includes the source sound, so the prompt is for who appears and what else to keep or change.

Assign photos in a multi-person scene

Upload one photo per person, up to four. A prompt can say who becomes whom. With the prompt off, the main people are replaced from left to right, each in every shot they appear in. The photo slots are labeled Image 1 onward when you want the prompt to name one.

Say what should stay

The optional prompt can name details to keep or change, such as clothing or the background. It still aims to keep the motion, gestures, camera, shot timing, and soundtrack. Compare the result with your source clip. The two videos on this page are the published example, so a later generation can look different.
