# MiniMax H3 Max Reference

> Video AI Model by MiniMax — available on Layer

Reference-guided MiniMax H3 Max video up to 1080p that follows a reference clip shot for shot while the prompt changes the subject or action.

MiniMax H3 Max Reference is the reference-guided mode of MiniMax's H3 Max video model, accepting up to 5 reference images, 3 video clips, and 3 audio clips alongside a prompt, plus optional start and end frames that the clip opens and closes on exactly. A reference video is followed shot for shot, in framing and timing, while the prompt changes the subject or the action in it, so an existing clip or ad can be edited whole with a new subject that moves and acts inside the original shots. Image references keep characters and styles consistent, and output is 480p, 768p, or 1080p clips at 5–15 seconds with native stereo audio and selectable or adaptive aspect ratios from 21:9 to 9:16.
