Hailuo H3 Prompt Builder — MiniMax Video

Nine images. Three video clips. Three audio clips. One generation. Hailuo H3 accepts more reference material in a single run than any other AI video model — you can lock a face, a motion and a voice simultaneously. Almost nobody knows how to use it.

This builder writes those prompts for you. It is a Google Sheets template — open it, click Make a copy, and it is yours forever. No subscription, no software to install.

First, the naming

MiniMax H3, Hailuo 3.0, Hailuo 03 and Hailuo-3 are all the same model. H3 is the model name, Hailuo is the consumer app it runs inside. It is not Kling O3, which is a different model from a different company. The builder covers this on the library tab because the confusion is everywhere right now.

How it works

1. Open your copy of the builder
2. Fill Column D using the dropdown menus — 32 fields across 6 sections
3. Type your subject details and any spoken or on-screen wording
4. Five complete prompts appear instantly on the right
5. Paste into Hailuo and generate

The 5 prompts you get every time

• Main H3 Prompt — full structured prompt using all 32 fields
• Omni Reference Brief — image roles, upload order, and why more references can make results worse
• Multi Shot Brief — several shots inside one generation, with the cuts written explicitly
• Native Audio and Text — dialogue, ambience and on-screen text rendered in the same pass as the picture
• Route and Credit Plan — which of the three routes to use, and the reference costs nobody warns you about

Omni reference is the whole point

Up to nine images, each with a defined role — character face, full body, wardrobe, product shape, brand logo, style frame, location plate, first frame, last frame. Up to three video clips for motion transfer, camera moves or pacing. Up to three audio clips to guide the voice.

The rules that make it work are in the brief: upload order decides which reference dominates, video references carry movement rather than appearance, and more is not better because conflicting references average into something bland.

Coverage in one run

H3 can produce several shots inside a single clip. A shot-reverse-shot dialogue exchange comes out already cut, rather than assembled from separate generations. The Multi Shot Brief shows you how to write the cuts explicitly, budget the seconds across shots, and hold the grade and lighting steady so the joins do not give it away.

Audio and text in the same pass

Dialogue, music, effects and room tone are generated with the picture, not scored afterwards. And H3 is unusually strong at readable text and brand names in video — so titles and product names can be generated rather than added in post. Supply the logo as an image reference rather than describing it, and check every letter before publishing.

The billing detail that catches people out

Reference video seconds are added to your billed output duration. A reference-guided clip costs more than a text prompt of the same length. The first few reference images are included, extras are charged, and audio references are free. All of it is in the Route and Credit Plan, because finding out on the invoice is not fun.

Also included

• Shot Presets tab — 10 ready-made setups: Product Hero Spin, Brand Logo Reveal, Character Dialogue, Motion Transfer Dance, Fashion Lookbook and more
• Hailuo Library tab — naming guide, omni reference technique, multi shot, audio and text, routes, credits and rights
• Render Log tab — track every generation by route, references used, seconds billed and keeper
• Formula Lock — only the input column is editable, so the tool cannot break by accident

An honest note

H3 launched in July 2026. It is very new, and pricing, access and limits are all still moving. The builder tells you to verify current terms rather than pretending they are fixed. It also notes the open-weight licence, which permits commercial use under a revenue threshold with attribution.
