## 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-reference-to-video-6d4bddb6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Animate this product photo into a short video clip — use MiniMax H3 to create a smooth, dynamic video from my reference image at https://example.com/product.jpg with a gentle rotating motion.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to animate or generate video from a reference image using the MiniMax H3 model specifically, and the generation may take longer than ~100 seconds (requiring async handling). Prefer over synchronous alternatives when batch or background processing is acceptable and you need MiniMax H3's reference-image-to-video capability specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or inaccessible reference image URL returns an error
- Image format not supported by MiniMax H3 model
- Generation timeout if the model queue is congested
- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure before submission
- Result unavailable if polling too early (still IN_PROGRESS)
- Image content policy violation causes rejection

## How this service works

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

## Output

Returns immediately with a request_id for async polling. Once generation completes, the result includes a URL to the generated video file along with metadata such as duration and resolution. Polling the status endpoint (free) returns 'IN_PROGRESS', 'COMPLETED', or 'FAILED' states.
