MiniMax H3 Spicy API

MiniMax H3 Spicy Video extend continues a clip you already have. Send it as video_url, with or without a prompt for what happens next. The final frame of your clip becomes the opening frame of a new MiniMax H3 Spicy image-to-video shot of 3 to 15 seconds, and the two are joined into one MP4: your original first, then the continuation, with the repeated seam frame removed. The new segment also comes back as its own file, so you can keep extending or edit the pieces separately.

Continuity comes from the last frame. Wardrobe, set, light and where everyone stands carry over because the new segment literally starts on your final frame. Motion does not carry over the same way: the model sees one still, not the whole clip, so describe the movement you want to continue instead of assuming it will keep its speed or direction.

One file back, plus the new piece on its own. The sound of your source stays and the sound of the new segment follows it. The first output asset is the joined clip (role video); the second is the new segment alone (role segment), ready for another extend or for an editor. The joined MP4 keeps your clip’s frame rate and its framing, with no black bars. To line the seam up, the picture may be trimmed or adjusted by a few percent at the edges. If the model returns a noticeably different shape, the new segment is scaled to fill your frame and centered, cropping what spills over.

Everything else is MiniMax H3 Spicy image-to-video. The new segment runs on the same routes, with the same content range and the same per-second price as the image-to-video endpoint, and a failed generation is refunded the same way. If the generation succeeds but the join itself cannot be built, the task fails and the charge is refunded.

Optionally land the shot. Add last_image_url, a target closing frame, and the new segment comes to rest on that picture. It pins the ending, not the motion in between.

Lengthen a shot that ended too early: a product turntable that stops before the label faces camera, or a walk that cuts before the subject reaches the door. Extend it by a few seconds and describe only the remaining motion.

Build a longer sequence step by step. Generate a first shot, extend it, then extend the joined result again; each step bills only the seconds it adds. Because every step starts from a single frame, watch each seam before stacking the next one.
