MiniMax H3 and the New v4v Lab

Three MiniMax H3 video workflows meet a redesigned Lab where prompts, references, model controls, live credit estimates, and run history stay in one focused workspace.

Read full release note
  • Added MiniMax H3 Text, Image, and Reference video workflows to Workflows and Lab, with 768p and 2K output, video and audio inputs, additional reference images, and model-aware credit estimates.
  • Cut MiniMax H3 prices in half: 768p dropped from 16 to 8 credits/sec, 2K from 26 to 13 credits/sec, and each additional reference image after the first five free images dropped from 8 to 4 credits. Generated and input video seconds use the selected resolution rate.
  • Rebuilt Lab around one cleaner composer. Prompt text, Reference Images, First Frame, Last Frame, and other model inputs now stay inside the main creation area, show their selected state, and reopen their full picker with one click.
  • Made controls truly model-aware: duration, aspect ratio, resolution, native audio, and advanced settings now use the options supported by the selected model. Clear, live model pricing, and the final Generate cost stay together in the composer footer.
  • Made model discovery faster by keeping current favorites visible and prioritizing MiniMax Text, MiniMax Image, Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0 Motion, and Kling AI Avatar in More Models.
  • Lab now preserves per-model drafts and prompt history, keeps URL and browser navigation in sync, validates only the controls currently in use, and restores saved settings more reliably.
  • Expanded Runs so creators can open, reuse, retry, rename, delete, and load more generation history without leaving Lab.
  • Added live support chat, bonus and discount code entry, and clearer real-world video estimates across pricing and billing surfaces.

Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 Arrives in Studio and Lab

Lab and Studio now use the latest Gemini Omni Flash model with stronger reference controls and more dependable project recovery.

  • Added Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 to Workflows and Lab while keeping the previous Gemini Omni Vid model available.
  • Added first-frame and last-frame controls, product reference images, reusable character IDs, duration and resolution settings, and model-aware pricing.
  • Updated OmniVid and Studio to pass selected products and avatars correctly into new generations.
  • Fixed legacy OmniVid projects so saved avatars and products restore reliably, and added automatic recovery for temporary character-processing errors.
  • Kept prompts empty when the creator selects only product and avatar objects without writing any prompt text.
11

A More Focused Shopify Studio Experience

The embedded Shopify workspace is now cleaner and keeps attention on creating and publishing product videos.

  • Removed duplicate personal Studio account settings from the Shopify app.
  • Removed the redundant workspace settings section from the embedded experience.
  • Simplified the app surface so product selection, video creation, credits, billing, and publishing remain the primary actions.
10

Seedance 2.5 and a More Reliable Shopify Workflow

A new Seedance generation option joined v4v while Shopify creation, billing, and publishing became more dependable.

  • Added Seedance 2.5 to Workflows and Lab with familiar Seedance inputs, 480p and 720p output options, and video-aware credit estimates.
  • Completed Shopify credit-pack purchases, billing history, invoices, welcome credits, and generation status handling.
  • Improved the Shopify product-video action with steadier progress polling, clearer loading states, and safer publish lifecycle handling.
  • Restored product imagery on pricing pages and improved canonical public URLs across navigation and search surfaces.
09

Shopify AI Product Videos, Right Inside Your Store

Create, review, and publish product videos from Shopify without rebuilding your workflow in another tool.

  • Open the live v4v Studio from a Shopify product or from App Home.
  • Import product details and images with Shopify's product picker, then choose style, duration, format, language, voiceover, and presenter.
  • Generate with the active v4v video workflow, review the result, and add it to the Shopify product media gallery.
  • Disconnect or switch the connected v4v account without reinstalling the app.
08

New AI Video Guides, Comparisons, and Prompt Libraries

A larger learning library now helps ecommerce teams choose AI video models, formats, prompts, and platforms with less guesswork.

  • Added practical guides for AI product videos, UGC ads, creative testing, and reusable workflows.
  • Expanded model and tool comparisons so creators can match quality, speed, and control to the job.
  • Improved navigation, author context, social previews, and content indexes to make useful answers easier to find in search and AI assistants.
07

Flexible Plans and a Smarter First Run

New subscription options and clearer onboarding make it easier to start with the right amount of AI video capacity.

  • Added subscription plans alongside pay-as-you-go credits.
  • Introduced a short signup survey that helps tailor the first Studio experience to each creator's goals.
  • Expanded public case studies, including Ukrainian-language access, so more teams can see practical ecommerce video examples.
06

A Cleaner Studio, Faster Downloads, and Guest Preview

The core creation workspace became easier to explore, manage, and use from mobile devices.

  • Renamed and reorganized the main workspace as Studio, with clearer project and tool navigation.
  • Added guest preview so new creators can explore the AI video workflow before committing.
  • Improved mobile video downloads, preserved useful filenames, and made stalled workflow recovery more dependable.
  • Published a richer case studies experience with real ecommerce creative examples.
05

Smarter AI Video Workflows and Better Product Imports

Studio gained more useful controls for turning product pages, images, and creative direction into repeatable video workflows.

  • Improved prompt entry, image options, project filters, and reusable Studio tools.
  • Made product gallery imports more reliable across ecommerce storefronts.
  • Refined image handling for AI Film Director workflows and added referral bonuses for invited creators.
04

OmniVid: A New AI Product Video Workflow

OmniVid joined v4v Studio as a connected workflow for creating polished product motion from prompts and reference images.

  • Added OmniVid generation with product and character reference support.
  • Brought format, model, pricing, and output controls into the reusable workflow system.
  • Improved render stability and project output handling so longer AI video jobs finish more predictably.
