Inspect motion continuity, character and object consistency, physics and contacts, camera behavior, temporal deformation, in-clip cuts and audio synchronization. ## What to inspect with Kling 4.0 Flash A lighter Kling 4.0: clips of 3–20 seconds in 720p from text and references, or from a start frame. - Text and references: a prompt up to 8000 characters, up to 7 photos and up to 5 videos totaling up to 20 seconds; the Video sound switch keeps the sound of reference videos. - Start frame: one optional photo; without it choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or 21:9, with it the format follows the photo. - Flash gives 720p and up to 20 seconds only; choose Kling 4.0 for 1080p and 30 seconds. - Start frame mode accepts no video: videos belong to references mode only. ## What to inspect with MiniMax H3 Build a scene from separate references for appearance, movement and sound. - Text mode, one or two frames, or references. - Up to 9 images, 3 videos and 3 audio files. Video and audio each have a separate 15-second total limit; audio needs a visual reference. - The first five images are included in the base calculation; additional images increase the price. - Input video adds billable duration. Check the total, not only the resolution. ## How to run a fair comparison - Fix the scene, the first frame (if both models accept one), the duration and the resolution. - Judge motion, not stills: faces, hands and objects should hold across the whole clip and at cuts. - If sound matters, listen to it separately: dialogue, effects and lip sync differ between models. - Price a finished clip, not a second: the per-second rate times your real duration, rounded up once. ## Sources Prices, availability and specifications come from the Mixer AI catalog. This is not an independent test: try both models on the same task before choosing. - [Prices and availability — Mixer AI catalog](https://mixerai.org/knowledge/catalog.json) ## What we compare [ Kling 4.0 Flash A lighter Kling 4.0: clips of 3–20 seconds in 720p from text and references, or from a start frame. ](https://mixerai.org/en/knowledge/video/kling-4-0-flash/) [ MiniMax H3 Build a scene from separate references for appearance, movement and sound. ](https://mixerai.org/en/knowledge/video/minimax-h3/) ## FAQ Which is cheaper: Kling 4.0 Flash or MiniMax H3?
