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.

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.

MiniMax H3 Max Camera Controls AI model FAQ
MiniMax H3 Max Camera Controls is an image-to-video variant of MiniMax H3 Max that adds programmable camera motion. Starting from a single image, you set 2 to 12 keyframes that control azimuth, elevation, and distance over time, with an optional text prompt. Output is 480p, 768p, or 1080p, up to 15 seconds.
You define a camera trajectory as a series of keyframes. Each keyframe sets a point in time plus an azimuth (rotation around the subject), an elevation (vertical angle), and a distance (closer or further). The model interpolates a smooth camera path between your keyframes.
No. You can leave the prompt blank to keep the scene still and move only the camera, or add a prompt - with prompt expansion set to balanced or quality - to animate the scene while the camera moves.
MiniMax H3 Max is fast text- and image-to-video with start/end frame control. Camera Controls adds a programmable camera trajectory from a start image, so you can plot precise moves like orbits, push-ins, and reveals. Choose Camera Controls when directing the lens is the goal.
MiniMax H3 Max Camera Controls outputs 480p, 768p, or 1080p video, up to 15 seconds long.
It's available in Picsart's AI Playground, where you can program a camera move and compare the result against 150+ other AI models from a single prompt.
It's available in Picsart's AI Playground. You can also use it on the web, in the Picsart desktop app, and build it into your own projects via CLI, MCP, REST API, and SDK.
