API questions before your first call
- At 768p, each second costs $0.0624 and a minute comes to $3.74 (R$12.53, 210 credits). Each generation runs 4 to 15 seconds.
- Create an account, make a key and send the request to the quote, which charges nothing. The 15 free credits cover 4 seconds at 768p with MiniMax H3.
- Text only: the prompt describes everything. From an image: the image you send becomes the first frame. First and last frame: two images become the start and the end of the video. With references: up to 9 images guide the character, product or style.
- No. Buy a credit pack by card, or in reais with Pix from Brazil, and spend it on MiniMax H3 and every other model with the same key.
- No. The Cut.Pro key calls MiniMax H3 without a MiniMax account, with one balance for every model in the catalog.
- Yes. With a CPF or CNPJ and full address in your billing details, the nota fiscal is issued after each payment is confirmed.
