## 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-max-image-to-video-async-795b2c3b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take this product photo of my sneakers and animate it into a short video clip — make it look dynamic and eye-catching, using MiniMax H3 Max.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to animate a static image into a video using MiniMax H3 Max quality and can tolerate async processing (generation may exceed 100 seconds). Prefer over synchronous alternatives when the video generation task is expected to be long-running. Use fal.run-based endpoints instead only if sub-100s response is guaranteed and acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible image URL returns an error on submission
- Image format not supported by MiniMax H3 Max
- Generation failure returns an error status on polling
- Timeout if polling is not retried appropriately
- Insufficient USDC balance to cover the $0.48 per-call dynamic pricing

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns a request_id immediately upon submission. The agent polls a separate status endpoint (free) using the request_id until generation completes, then retrieves a URL to the generated video clip produced by MiniMax H3 Max.
