About MiniMax H3
MiniMax H3 is the video model that follows Hailuo 2.3 from MiniMax. Unlike Hailuo 2.3 it also works from text alone, and it can take a start image and an end image.
Clips are 5 or 10 seconds long in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 when you start from text. When you start from an image, the clip takes its framing from that image. It renders at 480p, 768p or 2K.

Kling 3.0 is the third major version of Kling, the video model from Kuaishou. Kinoseed runs the Pro tier, both for text-to-video and for image-to-video with an optional end frame, so you can fix the first and the last shot of a clip and let the model move between them.
Clips are 5 or 10 seconds long in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Sound is optional: leave it off for a silent clip, or turn it on to have the model generate audio with the picture, which costs more. When you start from an image, the clip takes its framing from that image.
