MiniMax Video-01 — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does MiniMax Video-01 cost?
A 6-second MiniMax Video-01 generation costs 60 credits. The exact figure is shown on the Generate button before you spend anything, and a failed run refunds automatically.
How long can a MiniMax Video-01 video be?
MiniMax Video-01 handles up to 6 seconds in a single pass. For longer pieces, generate several shots and cut them together in the editor.
Does MiniMax Video-01 generate sound?
No. MiniMax Video-01 outputs silent video. Add narration or music afterwards with the text-to-speech tool, or pick a model with native audio such as Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 or Seedance 2.0.
Can I animate my own image with MiniMax Video-01?
Yes. Upload a still and MiniMax Video-01 animates it. Image-to-video generally gives you far more control over composition than describing the same scene in words.
What resolution does MiniMax Video-01 output?
720p. Anything you generate can be pushed to 4K afterwards with the video upscaler.
Can MiniMax Video-01 make vertical video for TikTok and Reels?
Yes — MiniMax Video-01 supports 16:9 and 9:16, so you can generate natively vertical 9:16 footage rather than cropping a landscape render.
Do my credits expire?
No. Unused credits expire at plan renewal/expiration. There is no throttled "unlimited" tier and no queue that slows down the more you use it — you see the price of each generation and pay that.
