Text prompt or your own image
Start from a written prompt or animate one JPG, PNG or WebP you are allowed to use. Image mode follows the source image's shape; text mode offers 16:9 landscape or 9:16 portrait framing.
Every clip includes audio, priced by the second
Each clip includes generated audio; a silent version is not offered here. Choose 5, 10 or 15 seconds at 480P or 768P — MiniMax H3 Max is the lowest-cost model per second on Cicadas, and the exact credit quote is shown before you submit.
Two recorded examples, clear limits
Two recorded MiniMax H3 Max outputs are playable on this page so you can check real motion, prompt adherence and the added audio before spending credits. Both use 5 seconds at 768P; they do not show every duration, resolution or prompt style working equally well.

Prompt ideas
Untested prompt drafts. For recorded outputs, use the playable examples and testing record.
“A fictional adult beekeeper in a mesh veil checks a wooden hive at golden hour while bees drift past the lens. Slow handheld drift, natural motion, one continuous shot.”
“A paper kite shaped like a carp climbs over a grassy hillside under a windy autumn sky, its tail rippling. Steady wide shot, realistic cloth physics, one continuous take.”
“Rain begins over a quiet fishing harbor at dusk, ripples spreading across the water as small boats rock gently. Slow lateral camera move, natural ambient motion, one continuous shot.”
