Testing MiniMax-H3: Generates 42s Video on RTX Pro 6000 in 80 Minutes
vanonym_ · reddit · 2026-08-13
A developer pushed the video generation model MiniMax-H3 to its limits, attempting to bypass its native training cap of 324 frames (13.5 seconds) by forcefully generating a 1008-frame (42-second) video.
Test details and conclusions:
- Hardware & Time: Generating a 42-second video at 1376×768 resolution and 24fps took 82 minutes on a single RTX Pro 6000 GPU, with VRAM peaking at around 90GB.
- Quality: While the model demonstrated generalization beyond its training range, the extended video suffered from degraded quality, messy camera control, and a failure to strictly follow the prompt order.
- Author's Advice: This stretched generation method is highly impractical, heavily increasing processing time while sacrificing control. For actual creative work, generating shot by shot remains the recommended approach to ensure quality.
