MiniMax Design Hands-On: One-Sentence Prompts Generate 1-Minute MV with Automated Storyboarding, Editing, and Scoring
APPSO · wechat · 2026-08-20
After open-sourcing the H3 video model, MiniMax launched MiniMax Design, an integrated creation tool that combines H3's generation capabilities with a canvas, 3D director's stage, Skills, and Agents into a complete workflow. Users describe needs in natural language, and Agents automatically break down tasks, generate prompts, storyboards, images, videos, music, subtitles, and edit the final cut.
In testing, APPSO used it to recreate a scene from 'Niu Lai', produce a thriller opening, generate a 1-minute MV, and create a paper-collage science video. The 3D director's stage allows precise control of characters and camera, reducing trial-and-error. Built-in Skill templates are reusable for quickly generating videos on different topics.
MiniMax Design exemplifies the 'model-as-application' trend: moving from generating assets to generating complete projects, encroaching on professional creation software like Adobe, especially for high-frequency content such as science videos, e-commerce assets, and brand shorts.
