Where each falls short

Kling 3.0

  • Audio language support is Chinese and English natively. Other languages are auto-translated to English, so a clip in Dutch is not something to plan around.
  • Voice binding works for video elements, not image elements.
  • The aspect ratio comes from your start image rather than a setting, so the frame is decided before you generate, not during.

MiniMax H3

  • MiniMax publishes no list of limitations, so none is invented here.
  • Because the aspect ratio follows your input image, the shape is decided before you generate. Crop the still first if the frame matters.
  • The jump from 768p to 2K roughly doubles the rate. The Studio shows the amount for each before you run.

Questions

Is MiniMax H3 the same as Hailuo AI?

MiniMax makes both the Hailuo app and the H3 video model. In this studio you run the model itself, from 480p up to 4K.

Which is cheaper?

The 480p tier of MiniMax H3 is the cheap way to explore. The exact price of every variant of both is on this page and on the button before you run.

Does the aspect ratio follow my image?

For both, the shape comes from your start image. Crop the still to the shape you want before you generate.
