First-frame-conditioned training; dataset captions optional.
The client provides a convenient way to interact with the model API.
npm install --save @fal-ai/clientThe @fal-ai/serverless-client package has been deprecated in favor of @fal-ai/client. Install the new package and update your imports — see client setup.
Set FAL_KEY as an environment variable in your runtime.
export FAL_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"The client API handles the API submit protocol. It will handle the request status updates and return the result when the request is completed.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.subscribe("minimax/h3/i2v/trainer", {
input: {
training_data_url: ""
},
logs: true,
onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
update.logs.map((log) => log.message).forEach(console.log);
}
},
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);The API uses an API Key for authentication. It is recommended you set the FAL_KEY environment variable in your runtime when possible.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
fal.config({
credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});When running code on the client-side (e.g. in a browser, mobile app or GUI applications), make sure to not expose your FAL_KEY. Instead, use a server-side proxy to make requests to the API. For more information, check out our server-side integration guide.
The client API provides a convenient way to submit requests to the model.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const { request_id } = await fal.queue.submit("minimax/h3/i2v/trainer", {
input: {
training_data_url: ""
},
webhookUrl: "https://optional.webhook.url/for/results",
});You can fetch the status of a request to check if it is completed or still in progress.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const status = await fal.queue.status("minimax/h3/i2v/trainer", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b",
logs: true,
});Once the request is completed, you can fetch the result. See the Output Schema for the expected result format.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const result = await fal.queue.result("minimax/h3/i2v/trainer", {
requestId: "764cabcf-b745-4b3e-ae38-1200304cf45b"
});
console.log(result.data);
console.log(result.requestId);Some attributes in the API accept file URLs as input. Whenever that's the case you can pass your own URL or a Base64 data URI.
You can pass a Base64 data URI as a file input. The API will handle the file decoding for you. Keep in mind that for large files, this alternative although convenient can impact the request performance.
You can also pass your own URLs as long as they are publicly accessible. Be aware that some hosts might block cross-site requests, rate-limit, or consider the request as a bot.
We provide a convenient file storage that allows you to upload files and use them in your requests. You can upload files using the client API and use the returned URL in your requests.
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";
const file = new File(["Hello, World!"], "hello.txt", { type: "text/plain" });
const url = await fal.storage.upload(file);The client will auto-upload the file for you if you pass a binary object (e.g. File, Data).
Read more about file handling in our file upload guide.
training_data_url string* requiredURL to zip archive with video clips. Try to use at least 10 clips, although more is better.
Supported video formats: .mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv
Note: The dataset must contain ONLY videos. Image datasets are not supported - images cannot serve as training media (some endpoints accept images as conditioning sidecars; see the endpoint's documentation). Mixed image/video archives are also rejected.
The archive can also contain text files with captions. Each text file should have the same base name as the video clip it corresponds to.
rank RankEnumThe rank of the LoRA adaptation. Higher values increase capacity but use more memory. Default value: "32"
Possible enum values: 8, 16, 32, 64, 128
number_of_steps integerThe number of training steps. Default value: 2000
learning_rate floatLearning rate for optimization. Higher values can lead to faster training but may cause overfitting. Default value: 0.0002
number_of_frames integerNumber of frames per training sample. Must satisfy frames % 17 == 5 (e.g., 22, 39, 56, 73, 90, 107, 124). Default value: 73
frame_rate integerTarget frames per second for the video. Default value: 24
resolution ResolutionEnumResolution to use for training. Higher resolutions require more memory. Default value: "medium"
Possible enum values: low, medium, high
aspect_ratio AspectRatioEnumAspect ratio to use for training. Matches the aspect ratios supported by the MiniMax H3 API. Default value: "16:9"
Possible enum values: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16
trigger_phrase stringA phrase that will trigger the LoRA style. Will be prepended to captions during training. Default value: ""
first_frame_conditioning_p floatProbability of conditioning on the first frame during training. Higher values improve image-to-video performance. Default value: 0.5
auto_scale_input booleanIf true, videos will be automatically scaled to the target frame count and fps.
split_input_into_scenes booleanIf true, videos above a certain duration threshold will be split into scenes. Default value: true
split_input_duration_threshold floatThe duration threshold in seconds. If a video is longer than this, it will be split into scenes. Default value: 30
debug_dataset booleanWhen enabled, the trainer returns a downloadable archive of your preprocessed training data for manual inspection. Use this to verify that your videos, images, and captions were processed correctly before committing to a full training run.
strict_dataset booleanReject dataset-quality fallbacks during preprocessing, including captions that would use a blank prompt, missing sidecar keyframes, and videos without a readable audio track. By default these cases are reported in logs and use the documented blank-prompt, clip-frame, or silence fallback.
