# H3 Max Camera Controls API

> 궤도, 고도 및 거리 제어가 가능한 키프레임 카메라 경로를 따라 이미지 하나를 애니메이션화

`image_url`을 첫 프레임으로 사용하고 2~12개의 정렬된 키프레임 목록인 `camera_trajectory`를 따라 카메라를 이동합니다. 기본적으로 장면은 고정되어 카메라만 변경됩니다. 재생 시간은 0.92~15초이고 해상도는 480P, 768P 또는 1080P입니다. 프롬프트 확장 정도를 조정할 수 있습니다.

- Model id: `minimax/h3-max/camera-controls`
- Made by: MiniMax
- Category: Image to Video
- Output: video
- Price: from $0.0325 / second (5 s ≈ $0.163) (cheapest run $0.163 (163 API credits))
- Run: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls`
- Quote: `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls`
- Docs page: https://doitong.com/ko/developers/models/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls

## Pricing

Price: **from $0.0325 / second (5 s ≈ $0.163)** (the lowest tier; the quote prices your exact input). Billed per second of output (`duration`, default 15).

Price rules (the first rule that matches the input wins; a parameter you leave out counts as its default):

- When `resolution` = 768P: $0.052 (52 API credits) / second
- When `resolution` = 1080P: $0.104 (104 API credits) / second

The full example input below costs $0.163 = 163 API credits (5 s × 32.5 API credits).

Prices are the upstream price in USD, paid from the API balance in API credits (1000 API credits = 1 USD). `POST https://api.doitong.com/v1/quote/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls` with the same JSON body returns the exact price for that input; the quote is exactly what a run charges. Invalid input is never charged and failed or canceled requests are refunded automatically.

## Input parameters

Send either the canonical name or the native field name (not both). Canonical names are the same across models.

| Parameter | Canonical name | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values / range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `prompt` |  | string | no | `The same elements in the reference are rigid. Preserve every element exactly. The entire scene is frozen. Only the camera moves. no scene motion only camera motion` | ≤ 50000 characters | 기본 고정 장면 동작을 재정의하는 동영상 생성 프롬프트입니다. 비워 두거나 생략하면 참조 장면이 고정되고 카메라 이동만 허용됩니다. |
| `duration` |  | number | no | `5` | 0.92 – 15 | 요청한 시간(초)이며, 실제 동영상 길이는 요청보다 약 0.7초 더 길 수 있습니다. |
| `resolution` |  | enum (string) | no | `480P` | `480P`, `768P`, `1080P` | 생성 해상도 선택: 1080P는 선택한 해상도로 네이티브 생성하는 대신 768P에서 네이티브 생성된 결과에 잠재 공간 정제를 적용합니다. |
| `seed` |  | integer \| null | no |  |  | 무작위 생성용 시드입니다. 생략하면 무작위로 선택됩니다. |
| `enable_safety_checker` |  | boolean | no | `true` |  | 안전 검사기 활성화입니다. true는 검사를 활성화합니다. |
| `prompt_expansion_mode` |  | string | yes | `balanced` |  | 생성 전 프롬프트 재작성 수준: 'quality'는 최대 약 30초 동안 더 풍부한 프롬프트를 작성하고, 'balanced'는 약 1초 안에 반환합니다. 프롬프트 확장을 생략하려면 'disabled'를 선택하세요. |
| `image_url` | `image` | string (image URL) | yes |  | ≥ 1 characters | 동영상의 시작 프레임을 정의하는 이미지 URL입니다. |
| `camera_trajectory` |  | array of object {time, azimuth, elevation, distance} | no |  | 2 – 12 items | 부호가 있는 전체 회전을 유지하며 총 방위각 이동을 32회전으로 제한하는 순서가 지정된 카메라 키프레임입니다. 키프레임의 시간 범위를 벗어나면 카메라는 해당 타임스탬프 이전에는 첫 번째 포즈를 유지하고 동영상이 끝날 때까지 마지막 포즈를 유지합니다. |
| `camera_trajectory[].time` |  | number | yes |  | 0 – 1 | 동영상 내 정규화된 시간입니다. [0, 1] 구간에서 각각 시작과 끝을 나타냅니다. |
| `camera_trajectory[].azimuth` |  | number | yes |  |  | 피사체를 기준으로 한 카메라의 수평 각도이며, 도 단위로 측정됩니다. |
| `camera_trajectory[].elevation` |  | number | yes |  | -90 – 90 | 피사체를 기준으로 한 카메라의 수직 각도이며, 도 단위로 측정됩니다. |
| `camera_trajectory[].distance` |  | number | yes |  | > 0 | 카메라와 피사체 사이의 거리이며, 정규화된 장면 단위로 측정됩니다. |

File parameters (`image`) take a public `https://` URL, a `data:` URI up to 10 MB, or the `file_url` of an upload from `POST /files`.

## Example input

Required parameters only:

```json
{
  "image": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
  "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
}
```

A fuller example:

```json
{
  "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
  "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
}
```

## Run it

Set `DOITONG_API_KEY` to a key from https://doitong.com/developers/dashboard#keys. `?wait=20` returns the finished request in the same call when it is ready within 20 seconds; otherwise poll `GET /requests/{id}` (it also accepts `?wait=`), or pass `webhook_url`.

### curl

```bash
# Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call
curl -X POST "https://api.doitong.com/v1/run/minimax/h3-max/camera-controls?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
    "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
  }'

# Still "queued" or "running"? Poll with the id from the response:
curl "https://api.doitong.com/v1/requests/REQUEST_ID?wait=20" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DOITONG_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript

const headers = {
  "Authorization": "Bearer " + process.env.DOITONG_API_KEY,
  "Content-Type": "application/json",
};

// Run the model; wait up to 20 s for the finished result in the same call

if (request.status !== "succeeded") throw new Error(JSON.stringify(request.error));
console.log(request.outputs.map((o) => o.url), request.cost.credits + " API credits ($" + request.cost.usd + ")");
```

### Python

```python

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DOITONG_API_KEY"]}

payload = {
    "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",

request = r.json()
if not r.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"]["code"] + ": " + request["error"]["message"])

# Not finished yet: long-poll until it is
while request["status"] in ("queued", "running"):
    request = requests.get(API + "/requests/" + request["id"], params={"wait": 20}, headers=headers).json()
if request["status"] != "succeeded":
    raise RuntimeError(request["error"])
print([o["url"] for o in request["outputs"]], request["cost"]["credits"], "API credits", "$" + request["cost"]["usd"])
```

### MCP

The MCP server at `https://api.doitong.com/v1/mcp` exposes the tools `search_models`, `get_model`, `quote`, `run`, `get_request`, `cancel_request`, `list_requests`, `create_upload` and `get_account`. A `run` call for this model:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "run",
    "arguments": {
      "model_id": "minimax/h3-max/camera-controls",
      "input": {
        "image_url": "https://content.doitong.com/images/showcase/v3/gen_fox_cartoon.jpg",
        "prompt_expansion_mode": "balanced"
      },
      "wait_seconds": 20
    }
  }
}
```

## Response

Every call returns a request object. `status` is one of `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `canceled`. `outputs` lists the generated files with URLs on our storage (kept forever, or 7 days with `?storage=temporary`; `storage` says which); `output` is the model's own result object with the same URLs.

### Output fields (`output`)

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `video` | object {url, content_type, file_name, file_size} | 모델이 생성한 동영상입니다. |
| `expanded_prompt` | string \| null | 모델에 사용할 수 있도록 확장된 프롬프트이며, 확장된 텍스트가 없으면 null입니다. null이 되는 경우는 확장이 비활성화되었거나, 확장 결과가 변경되지 않았거나, 모델의 호스팅 API가 내부적으로 확장을 처리한 경우입니다. |
| `timings` | object \| null | 초 단위로 표시되는 시간 측정값입니다. 백엔드 시간을 보고하는 경로에서만 사용할 수 있으며, 그 외에는 null입니다. 'inference' 항목은 GPU 백엔드에서 DiT 디노이징에 걸린 시간을 측정합니다. |
