## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fal-ai-queue-minimax-h3-image-to-video-async-f8dcef54 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you animate this product photo into a short video clip — use this image URL https://example.com/product.jpg and add a gentle zoom-in motion effect?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to animate a static image into a video using MiniMax H3 specifically, and when generation time may exceed ~100 seconds (making synchronous alternatives unsuitable). Ideal for automated workflows that can handle async polling patterns. Best when you need MiniMax H3's specific motion quality and are comfortable with the $0.36 USDC per-call dynamic pricing. Use over synchronous alternatives when video generation latency is acceptable and you want reliable delivery without timeout risk.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL causes job failure
- Image format not supported by MiniMax H3
- Generation timeout or queue backlog delays result
- Insufficient funds or payment failure at $0.36 USDC per call
- Result polling returns error status if upstream model fails
- Image resolution or file size outside accepted limits

## How this service works

MiniMax H3 - image-to-video (async, dynamic pricing)

## Output

Returns a request_id immediately upon submission. The agent must poll the fal.ai queue status endpoint with that request_id to check generation progress. Once complete, the result includes a URL to the generated video clip along with metadata about the generation run. Polling itself is free of charge.
