Write MiniMax H3 video generation prompts for T2VA, I2VA, FL2VA, L2VA, and Ref2VA. Use when rewriting multimodal requests into H3 prompt structures, composing integrated_multimodal_description, overall_soundscape, and non_diegetic_music, aligning keyframes, or defining reference labels for images, videos, and audio.

AI-generated overview

Guides writing MiniMax H3 video generation prompts for text, keyframe, and reference-based modes.

What it does
This skill instructs an agent on how to rewrite multimodal requests into MiniMax H3 video generation prompt structures. It covers the T2VA, I2VA, FL2VA, L2VA, and Ref2VA input modes, specifying field names, section order, labels, and timing notation. It directs the agent to read bundled reference files for base and full-reference prompt formats and produces structured prompt text with descriptions, soundscape, and music sections.
When to use it
Use it when composing or rewriting prompts for MiniMax H3 video generation, including text-to-video, first/last keyframe, and full-reference workflows. It is also relevant when aligning keyframes or defining reference labels for images, videos, and audio.
Requirements
No external API calls, MiniMax Hub tools, or proprietary runtime are required. The skill is instructions-only and ships no scripts; it relies on reading local reference files (references/base-en.txt and references/ref-en.txt). An optional agents/openai.yaml adds ChatGPT/Codex UI metadata.

H3 Prompt Writing

Workflow

  1. Identify the input mode: T2VA, I2VA, FL2VA, L2VA, or full-reference Ref2VA.
  2. For base text/keyframe modes, read references/base-en.txt and follow its final prompt structure.
  3. For full-reference mode, read references/ref-en.txt and follow its six-section rewrite format.
  4. Preserve the exact field names, section order, labels, and timing notation from the selected guide.

Base Modes

  • T2VA: build the full audiovisual timeline from text.
  • I2VA: start from the first frame and develop forward from it.
  • FL2VA: describe the continuous path between the first and last frames.
  • L2VA: infer a plausible opening and converge to the supplied last frame.

Use integrated_multimodal_description, overall_soundscape, and non_diegetic_music in the order shown in references/base-en.txt.

Full-Reference Mode

Ref2VA rewrites use subject_definitions, summary, retention_analysis, detailed_description, overall_soundscape, and non_diegetic_music in that order. Reference labels stay consistent across all sections.

Read references/ref-en.txt for label rules, retention analysis, and complete examples.

Output Rules

  • Write rewrite sections in English; preserve dialogue, lyrics, and visible scene text in their original language.
  • Describe each shot by composition, subjects, environment, actions, camera, sound, and the exact point where referenced content appears.
  • Avoid plot summaries, unresolved reference labels, and timing that does not match the requested duration.

Tips for Better Results

  • Always match the total duration of the description to the requested video length (4–15 seconds).
  • Keep reference labels consistent (e.g. <Picture 1>, <Video 1>, <Audio 1>) across every section.
  • Prefer concrete visual and audio details over abstract words like "cinematic" or "beautiful".
  • When using keyframes (I2VA / FL2VA / L2VA), clearly state how the first and/or last frame connects to the timeline.
