Old fisherman in a storm A weathered old fisherman in his 70s stands at the bow of a small wooden fishing boat being thrown through a violent North Atlantic storm at dusk. He grips the rail with both hands, completely calm, face set against the wind and rain, eyes on the horizon. Waves tower above the boat on both sides. Lightning in the far distance. His yellow oilskin jacket is soaked through, white beard plastered to his face. The camera is inches away, handheld, lurching with the boat. Every line on his face visible. Behind him a younger crew member scrambles across the deck in panic — the old man doesn't flinch. Photorealistic, shot on RED camera, natural storm light, 4K, no music implied, just wind and water and the groan of the hull.
CTRL Pose RiftMiniMax H3
Introducing MiniMax H3
MiniMax H3 generates up to 15 seconds of 2K video with native stereo audio – advanced motion, atmosphere, dialogue, and effects from a single creative intent. Now accessible on CTRL Pose.
Not text-to-video. Something bigger.
Previous video stacks split into text-to-video, image-to-video, first-and-last-frame, subject reference, motion reference, and video editing — each often a separate expert model running under the hood. MiniMax H3 folds all of those into one unified generation paradigm where reference and editing relationships are expressed in natural language.
Native 2K resolution at film-standard 24fps cadence. A step up from 1080p — clips from 5 to 15 seconds, extendable to around 30 seconds via Extend, across aspect ratios from 21:9 to 9:16.
MiniMax H3 Examples
Prompt it. See what comes back.
Every generation below started as a single prompt. No post-production. No compositing. No tricks. Just what CTRL Pose Rift powered by MiniMax H3 returns when you give it exactly what you had in your head.
A hyperrealistic cinematic scene of a man and woman walking side by side along a misty gravel path through an early 1800s English countryside estate on a soft morning. She wears an empire-waist ivory dress, light shawl slipping off one shoulder, dark hair loosely pinned with a few strands falling across her face. He is in a dark Regency-era tailcoat, cream cravat slightly loosened, one hand clasped behind his back, the other gesturing lightly as he speaks. She glances up at him mid-laugh, catching herself, looking away. He notices. The camera follows alongside them at walking pace, shallow depth of field, the manor house soft and distant behind them. Morning mist still sits low across the lawns. Dew on the grass. A single crow taking off from a nearby oak. Their conversation is light — his expression teasing, hers pretending not to be charmed. Neither of them looking directly at each other but both acutely aware of every step between them. Natural morning light, soft and golden through thin cloud cover. Shot on Arri Alexa, 40mm anamorphic lens, gentle film grain. Photorealistic, 4K, no text, no fantasy elements, no modern objects, no watermark. Implied small talk feel: He says something quietly ridiculous about the weather. She tells him he's wrong. He smiles because she answered at all.
Labrador puppies in snow Two golden Labrador puppies 8 weeks old tumbling and pouncing in fresh deep powder snow on a crisp winter morning. Soft diffused overcast light, blue shadows in the snow. One puppy disappears completely under the powder and pops back up nose-first, blinking. Tiny paw prints trail behind them. Snow crystals exploding upward in slow motion. Camera low to the ground, almost snow level, shallow depth of field, soft bokeh of snow-covered pine trees behind. Shot on Sony FX3, 85mm lens, 120fps slow motion, natural winter light, photorealistic, 4K, no humans in frame.
CTRL Pose RiftMiniMax H3
The most capable video model available. Inside the most capable workflow. CTRL Pose Rift doesn't just give you access to MiniMax H3. It wraps it in everything the platform offers — reusable characters, world presets, storyboard planning, and the full iteration toolkit. Remix, Re-cut, Extend, and Loop from the same feed, the same projects, the same creative environment. The model handles the generation. CTRL Pose handles everything else.
The Rift Generation Workspace
One environment. Every input type
Text, images, video clips, and audio — all accepted in a single Rift generation. Set your resolution, duration, aspect ratio, and reference inputs exactly where you need them. No switching between tools.
Omni-Reference Control
Up to 9 images, 3 video clips and 3 audio clips
Feed MiniMax H3 everything it needs to know about your character, your world, your motion, and your sound — simultaneously. What used to require multiple specialist models now happens in a single unified pass.
Native Audio Generation
Cinematic sound produced with video
Dialogue, effects, atmosphere, and room tone generated alongside the video — not added after. Prompt your scene once and H3 returns complete cinematic output with stereo audio already inside it.
Video-to-Video Motion Transfer
Take the movement. Keep your world
Feed Rift a reference clip and a target scene. H3 applies the motion, the energy, and the camera feel of one video to an entirely different visual context. The movement travels. The aesthetic is yours.
Remix, Re-cut, Extend, Loop
Much more than first to last frame
Extend a 15-second clip to 30. Loop it clean. Re-cut to isolate the moment that worked. Remix the whole thing with a single control shift. The iteration toolkit works the same way across every model in CTRL Pose — Rift included.
Production Library
Every Rift generation. One place
Every output logs automatically — resolution, duration, reference inputs used, credit cost. Come back mid-sprint, mid-campaign, or mid-series and every generation is exactly where you left it. Nothing gets lost.
Reference quality that compounds
The more context you give, the better it gets
The more reference context you give H3, the more precisely it delivers. Build your character library, your world presets, and your audio references inside CTRL Pose and every Rift generation gets sharper — not from luck, from accumulated creative context.
Continuity across every shot
Shot one and shot forty. Identical
H3's omni-reference system was built for multi-shot consistency. CTRL Pose's character and world preset system was built for the same thing. Together they eliminate the drift that breaks production — your cast looks the same in shot one and shot forty.
Credits that reflect what you actually get
1 credit = 1 second. Not subscriptions
2K video with native stereo audio at less than a third the per-second cost of mainstream competitors. You see the credit cost before you generate. No surprises, no opaque pricing behaviour. What you spend maps directly to what comes out.
