I generated this 10-second AI microdrama in OpenArt using the MiniMax H3 Max video model, with character references, audio and a cinematic mystery storyline — and the generation took only a few seconds.
In this video, I show exactly how to create an AI video in OpenArt using MiniMax H3 Max in text-to-video mode.
I used a 9:16 vertical format for social media Stories and Shorts, a 10-second duration, and the lowest 480p resolution. Even at 480p, the result is already detailed enough for this type of short-form AI video.
The key feature is character referencing in OpenArt. I can reference previously created characters directly inside the prompt, allowing MiniMax H3 Max to reuse their faces and appearances. For this generation, I used three characters and 10 character references throughout the prompt.
The prompt creates a cinematic drama mystery scene where Anna meets her best friend Vivian at a sophisticated rooftop lounge. Anna secretly shows Vivian a mysterious message from Michelle. Vivian gets an idea to discover the truth, spots Michelle across the lounge, and moves toward him to try to make him reveal the secret.
This generation also demonstrates an important AI video prompting lesson: always provide enough context. An AI video model does not know what happened in a previous video unless that information is included in the prompt or provided through references and other available context.
In this example, the prompt says that Anna has changed into an elegant new outfit. Because I was continuing an idea from a previous video without fully explaining that context, the model had to interpret the instruction on its own.
The prompt was also slightly too detailed for a 10-second video. Most of the requested actions were successfully generated, but there was not enough time for Anna to watch Vivian from a distance with the exact amused-but-suspicious reaction described in the prompt.
This is an important part of creating AI videos: the story, number of actions, prompt length and video duration all need to work together.
For this generation, the 10-second 480p MiniMax H3 Max video cost 352 credits in OpenArt. The model can also generate videos up to 15 seconds, and the resolution can be increased to 768p for an additional credit cost.
