13-second MiniMax H3 and H3 Max clips: $0.82 to $2.60 by tier on Sume

A 13-second clip from MiniMax H3 costs $0.82 at 480p and $0.98 at 768p on Sume. From MiniMax H3 Max it costs $0.82 at 480p, $1.30 at 768p and $2.60 at 1080p. All five include native stereo audio.

Five prices, one length

Thirteen seconds is two seconds short of the 15-second maximum and does not appear in most price lists, which stop at 5, 10 and 15. The per-second math is the same, with list times 1.25 rounded up.

Reading the table

The two 480p rows cost the same. H3 and H3 Max both list $0.05 per second at 480p, so the choice there depends on features: H3 Max also offers 1080p, and H3 also lists 2K and 4K upscales when requested. At 768p H3 Max costs $0.32 more per 13-second clip than H3.

Going from 768p to 1080p on H3 Max doubles the price, from $1.30 to $2.60. 1080p is a latent refinement from the native 768p render and lists at twice the 768p rate.

Choosing a length

Thirteen seconds suits a hook plus a product beat plus a call to action. If the script is 12 seconds, send 12; the model does not need padding, and each second costs money. Seconds must be whole numbers from 5 to 15 on both rows.

• Seconds are whole numbers from 5 to 15.
• Aspect ratios include adaptive, 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16.
• Native stereo audio is on by default and cannot be switched off.
• A 720p request is refused; use 768p.

Scenes that suit 13 seconds

A 13-second clip fits a single scene with one change in it: a person walks in and sits, a product is picked up and opened, a camera pushes in and the subject turns. It is long enough for a spoken sentence of 30 to 35 words, and short enough that the model keeps the scene consistent. If you want two scenes, ask for 15 seconds and use the multi-shot style of prompt with timecodes; if you want only one beat, use 8 to 10 seconds and save the difference. At 768p on H3 Max the 13-second clip is $1.30, and each second you remove saves $0.10.

If your script lands at 10.5 seconds, round up to 11 and use the extra half second for a pause. If it lands at 11.2 seconds, trim the script to 11 rather than pay for 12, which would add $0.10 at 768p. The model takes whole seconds, so planning scripts in 1-second steps avoids surprises.
