What is MiniMax H3 Lite? The lightest Hailuo 3 tier
MiniMax H3 Lite is the lightest tier of MiniMax's Hailuo 3 video family. It makes clips of 4 to 15 seconds from a text prompt, a start and end frame, or a set of references - the same three inputs as its bigger siblings, packaged for everyday volume where every generation has to stay cheap.

Text, frames, and references - the full H3 toolkit
Lite keeps the whole Hailuo 3 input range: describe a scene in words, pin a first and last frame for the model to bridge, or steer it with references - images, video clips, and audio in one request. Trimming the tier did not trim the toolkit; it trimmed the wait and the cost per run.

MiniMax H3 Lite output: 4-15 seconds at 480p or 768p
Choose any length from 4 to 15 seconds and render at 480p or 768p. One habit to build: Lite wants an explicit aspect ratio - pick 16:9, 9:16, or the framing your placement needs rather than leaving it on automatic. That single setting locked in, Lite becomes the workhorse for feeds, tests, and anything you generate by the dozen.
