PROGRAMMED CAMERA MOTION

MiniMax H3 Max Camera Controls: direct the camera in AI video

MiniMax H3 Max Camera Controls turns a single image into video with a camera path you program yourself. Set 2 to 12 keyframes and steer azimuth, elevation, and distance to orbit, push in, or crane over your scene - with an optional prompt, or none at all. Available now in Picsart's AI Playground.

  • Direct your camera path
  • Bring a still image into motion
  • Guide scenes with keyframes
IMAGE IN, CAMERA OUT

How MiniMax H3 Max Camera Controls works

Start from a still image and hand the model a camera trajectory instead of relying on a text prompt alone. MiniMax H3 Max Camera Controls reads 2 to 12 keyframes - each one a point in time with an azimuth, elevation, and distance - and interpolates a smooth path between them, so the shot travels exactly the way you plotted it. Add a prompt to animate the scene as well, or leave it out to keep everything still but the lens.

AZIMUTH, ELEVATION, DISTANCE

Plot the camera path keyframe by keyframe

Every keyframe sets three things: azimuth to swing the camera around the subject, elevation to raise or lower the angle, and distance to move closer or pull away. Chain up to 12 of them and MiniMax H3 Max Camera Controls builds the in-between motion - a slow orbit, a rising crane, a sharp punch-in - with frame-accurate timing. It's the kind of camera choreography that usually needs a rig and a dolly, driven from a single photo.

PROMPT OPTIONAL

Freeze the scene, move only the camera

Leave the prompt blank and MiniMax H3 Max Camera Controls holds your scene perfectly still while the camera travels through it - a clean parallax glide across a product, a portrait, or a landscape with nothing else in motion. Want life in the frame too? Add a prompt and set prompt expansion to balanced or quality to decide how much the model elaborates, and drop in a seed whenever you need the exact same move again.

NO KEYS, NO SETUP

SHOTS YOU CAN DIRECT

When to reach for camera controls

Choose MiniMax H3 Max Camera Controls when the camera move is the point - product spins, architectural fly-throughs, dramatic reveals, or looping parallax shots that have to land exactly. Instead of describing motion in words and hoping, you plot it on a timeline and get a repeatable path back at 480p, 768p, or 1080p, up to 15 seconds. Inside Picsart it sits alongside 150+ models, so you can direct the shot here and switch models for the next one.
