minimax-multimodal-toolkit

MiniMax Multi-Modal Toolkit

Generate voice, music, video, and image content via MiniMax APIs — the unified entry for MiniMax multimodal use cases (audio + music + video + image). Includes voice cloning & voice design for custom voices, image generation with character reference, and FFmpeg-based media tools for audio/video format conversion, concatenation, trimming, and extraction.

Output Directory

All generated files MUST be saved to minimax-output/ under the AGENT'S current working directory (NOT the skill directory). Every script call MUST include an explicit --output / -o argument pointing to this location. Never omit the output argument or rely on script defaults.

Rules:

1. Before running any script, ensure minimax-output/ exists in the agent's working directory (create if needed: mkdir -p minimax-output)
2. Always use absolute or relative paths from the agent's working directory: --output minimax-output/video.mp4
3. Never cd into the skill directory to run scripts — run from the agent's working directory using the full script path
4. Intermediate/temp files (segment audio, video segments, extracted frames) are automatically placed in minimax-output/tmp/. They can be cleaned up when no longer needed: rm -rf minimax-output/tmp

Prerequisites

brew install ffmpeg jq              # macOS (or apt install ffmpeg jq on Linux)
bash scripts/check_environment.sh

No Python or pip required — all scripts are pure bash using curl, ffmpeg, jq, and xxd.

API Host Configuration

MiniMax provides two service endpoints for different regions. Set MINIMAX_API_HOST before running any script:

Region	Platform URL	API Host Value
China Mainland（中国大陆）	https://platform.minimaxi.com	https://api.minimaxi.com
Global（全球）	https://platform.minimax.io	https://api.minimax.io

# China Mainland
export MINIMAX_API_HOST="https://api.minimaxi.com"

# or Global
export MINIMAX_API_HOST="https://api.minimax.io"

IMPORTANT — When API Host is missing: Before running any script, check if MINIMAX_API_HOST is set in the environment. If it is NOT configured:

1. Ask the user which service endpoint their MiniMax account uses:
   • China Mainland → https://api.minimaxi.com
   • Global → https://api.minimax.io
2. Instruct and help user to set it via export MINIMAX_API_HOST="https://api.minimaxi.com" (or the global variant) in their terminal or add it to their shell profile (~/.zshrc / ~/.bashrc) for persistence

API Key Configuration

Set the MINIMAX_API_KEY environment variable before running any script:

export MINIMAX_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

The key starts with sk-api- or sk-cp-, obtainable from https://platform.minimaxi.com (China) or https://platform.minimax.io (Global)

IMPORTANT — When API Key is missing: Before running any script, check if MINIMAX_API_KEY is set in the environment. If it is NOT configured:

1. Ask the user to provide their MiniMax API key
2. Instruct and help user to set it via export MINIMAX_API_KEY="sk-..." in their terminal or add it to their shell profile (~/.zshrc / ~/.bashrc) for persistence

Plan Limits & Quotas

IMPORTANT — Always respect the user's plan limits before generating content. If the user's quota is exhausted or insufficient, warn them before proceeding.

TTS (Text-to-Speech)

Entry point: scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh

IMPORTANT: Single voice vs Multi-segment — Choose the right approach

User intent	Approach
Single voice / no multi-character need	tts command — generate the entire text in one call
Multiple characters / narrator + dialogue	generate command with segments.json

Default behavior: When the user simply asks to generate speech/voice and does NOT mention multiple voices or characters, use the tts command directly with a single appropriate voice. Do NOT split into segments or use the multi-segment pipeline — just pass the full text to tts in one call.

Only use multi-segment generate when:

• The user explicitly needs multiple voices/characters
• The text requires narrator + character dialogue separation
• The text exceeds 10,000 characters (API limit per request) — in this case, split into segments with the same voice

Single-voice generation (DEFAULT)

bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh tts "Hello world" -o minimax-output/hello.mp3
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh tts "你好世界" -v female-shaonv -o minimax-output/hello_cn.mp3

Multi-segment generation (multi-voice / audiobook / podcast)

Complete workflow — follow ALL steps in order:

1. Write segments.json — split text into segments with voice assignments (see format and rules below)
2. Run generate command — this reads segments.json, generates audio for EACH segment via TTS API, then merges them into a single output file with crossfade

# Step 1: Write segments.json to minimax-output/
# (use the Write tool to create minimax-output/segments.json)

# Step 2: Generate audio from segments.json — this is the CRITICAL step
# It generates each segment individually and merges them into one file
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh generate minimax-output/segments.json \
  -o minimax-output/output.mp3 --crossfade 200

Do NOT skip Step 2. Writing segments.json alone does nothing — you MUST run the generate command to actually produce audio.

Voice management

# List all available voices
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh list-voices

# Voice cloning (from audio sample, 10s–5min)
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh clone sample.mp3 --voice-id my-voice

# Voice design (from text description)
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh design "A warm female narrator voice" --voice-id narrator

Audio processing

bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh merge part1.mp3 part2.mp3 -o minimax-output/combined.mp3
bash scripts/tts/generate_voice.sh convert input.wav -o minimax-output/output.mp3

TTS Models

Model	Notes
speech-2.8-hd	Recommended, auto emotion matching
speech-2.8-turbo	Faster variant
speech-2.6-hd	Previous gen, manual emotion
speech-2.6-turbo	Previous gen, faster

segments.json Format

Default crossfade between segments: 200ms (--crossfade 200).

[
  { "text": "Hello!", "voice_id": "female-shaonv", "emotion": "" },
  { "text": "Welcome.", "voice_id": "male-qn-qingse", "emotion": "happy" }
]

Leave emotion empty for speech-2.8 models (auto-matched from text).

IMPORTANT: Multi-Segment Script Generation Rules (Audiobooks, Podcasts, etc.)

When generating segments.json for audiobooks, podcasts, or any multi-character narration, you MUST split narration text from character dialogue into separate segments with distinct voices.

Rule: Narration and dialogue are ALWAYS separate segments.

A sentence like "Tom said: The weather is great today!" must be split into two segments:

• Segment 1 (narrator voice): "Tom said:"
• Segment 2 (character voice): "The weather is great today!"

Example — Audiobook with narrator + 2 characters:

[
  { "text": "Morning sunlight streamed into the classroom as students filed in one by one.", "voice_id": "narrator-voice", "emotion": "" },
  { "text": "Tom smiled and turned to Lisa:", "voice_id": "narrator-voice", "emotion": "" },
  { "text": "The weather is amazing today! Let's go to the park after school!", "voice_id": "tom-voice", "emotion": "happy" },
  { "text": "Lisa thought for a moment, then replied:", "voice_id": "narrator-voice", "emotion": "" },
  { "text": "Sure, but I need to drop off my backpack at home first.", "voice_id": "lisa-voice", "emotion": "" },
  { "text": "They exchanged a smile and went back to listening to the lecture.", "voice_id": "narrator-voice", "emotion": "" }
]

Key principles:

1. Narrator uses a consistent neutral narrator voice throughout
2. Each character has a dedicated voice_id, maintained consistently across all their dialogue
3. Split at dialogue boundaries — "He said:" is narrator, the quoted content is the character
4. Do NOT merge narrator text and character speech into a single segment
5. For characters without pre-existing voice_ids, use voice cloning or voice design to create them first, then reference the created voice_id in segments

Music Generation

Entry point: scripts/music/generate_music.sh

IMPORTANT: Instrumental vs Lyrics — When to use which

Scenario	Mode	Action
BGM for video / voice / podcast	Instrumental (default)	Use --instrumental directly, do NOT ask user
User explicitly asks to "create music" / "make a song"	Ask user first	Ask whether they want instrumental or with lyrics

When adding background music to video or voice content, always default to instrumental mode (--instrumental). Do not ask the user — BGM should never have vocals competing with the main content.

When the user explicitly asks to create/generate music as the primary task, ask them whether they want:

• Instrumental (pure music, no vocals)
• With lyrics (song with vocals — user provides or you help write lyrics)

# Instrumental (for BGM or when user chooses instrumental)
bash scripts/music/generate_music.sh \
  --instrumental \
  --prompt "ambient electronic, atmospheric" \
  --output minimax-output/ambient.mp3 --download

# Song with lyrics (when user chooses vocal music)
bash scripts/music/generate_music.sh \
  --lyrics "[verse]\nHello world\n[chorus]\nLa la la" \
  --prompt "indie folk, melancholic" \
  --output minimax-output/song.mp3 --download

# With style fields
bash scripts/music/generate_music.sh \
  --lyrics "[verse]\nLyrics here" \
  --genre "pop" --mood "upbeat" --tempo "fast" \
  --output minimax-output/pop_track.mp3 --download

Music Model

Default model: music-2.5

music-2.5 does not support --instrumental directly. When instrumental music is needed, the script automatically applies a workaround:

• Sets lyrics to [intro] [outro] (empty structural tags, no actual vocals), appends pure music, no lyrics to the prompt

This produces instrumental-style output without requiring manual intervention. You can always use --instrumental and the script handles the rest.

Image Generation

Entry point: scripts/image/generate_image.sh

Model: image-01 — photorealistic image generation from text prompts, with optional character reference for image-to-image.

IMPORTANT: Mode Selection — t2i vs i2i

User intent	Mode
Generate image from text description (default)	t2i — text-to-image
Generate image with a character reference photo (keep same person)	i2i — image-to-image

Default behavior: When the user asks to generate/create an image without mentioning a reference photo, use t2i mode (default). Only use i2i mode when the user provides a character reference image or explicitly asks to base the image on an existing person's appearance.

IMPORTANT: Aspect Ratio — Infer from user context

Do NOT always default to 1:1. Analyze the user's request and choose the most appropriate aspect ratio:

User intent / context	Recommended ratio	Resolution
头像、图标、社交媒体头像、avatar、icon、profile pic	1:1	1024×1024
风景、横幅、桌面壁纸、landscape、banner、desktop wallpaper	16:9	1280×720
传统照片、经典比例、classic photo	4:3	1152×864
摄影作品、杂志封面、photography、magazine	3:2	1248×832
人像竖图、海报、portrait photo、poster	2:3	832×1248
竖版海报、书籍封面、tall poster、book cover	3:4	864×1152
手机壁纸、社交媒体故事、phone wallpaper、story、reel	9:16	720×1280
超宽全景、电影画幅、panoramic、cinematic ultrawide	21:9	1344×576
未指定特定需求 / ambiguous	1:1	1024×1024

IMPORTANT: Image Count — When to generate multiple images

User intent	Count (-n)
Default / single image request	1 (default)
用户说"几张"、"多张"、"一些" / "a few", "several"	3
用户说"多种方案"、"备选" / "variations", "options"	3–4
用户明确指定数量	Use the specified number (1–9)

Text-to-Image Examples

# Basic text-to-image
bash scripts/image/generate_image.sh \
  --prompt "A cat sitting on a rooftop at sunset, cinematic lighting, warm tones, photorealistic" \
  -o minimax-output/cat.png

# Landscape with inferred aspect ratio
bash scripts/image/generate_image.sh \
  --prompt "Mountain landscape with misty valleys, photorealistic, golden hour" \
  --aspect-ratio 16:9 \
  -o minimax-output/landscape.png

# Phone wallpaper (portrait 9:16)
bash scripts/image/generate_image.sh \
  --prompt "Aurora borealis over a snowy forest, vivid colors, magical atmosphere" \
  --aspect-ratio 9:16 \
  -o minimax-output/wallpaper.png

# Multiple variations
bash scripts/image/generate_image.sh \
  --prompt "Abstract geometric art, vibrant colors" \
  -n 3 \
  -o minimax-output/art.png

# With prompt optimizer
bash scripts/image/generate_image.sh \
  --prompt "A man standing on Venice Beach, 90s documentary style" \
  --aspect-ratio 16:9 --prompt-optimizer \
  -o minimax-output/beach.png

# Custom dimensions (must be multiple of 8)
bash scripts/image/generate_image.sh \
  --prompt "Product photo of a luxury watch on marble surface" \
  --width 1024 --height 768 \
  -o minimax-output/watch.png

Image-to-Image (Character Reference)

Use a reference photo to generate images with the same character in new scenes. Best results with a single front-facing portrait. Supported formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG (max 10MB).

# Character reference — place same person in a new scene
bash scripts/image/generate_image.sh \
  --mode i2i \
  --prompt "A girl looking into the distance from a library window, warm afternoon light" \
  --ref-image face.jpg \
  --aspect-ratio 16:9 \
  -o minimax-output/girl_library.png

# Multiple character variations
bash scripts/image/generate_image.sh \
  --mode i2i \
  --prompt "A woman in a red dress at a gala event, elegant, cinematic" \
  --ref-image face.jpg -n 3 \
  -o minimax-output/gala.png

Aspect Ratio Reference

Ratio	Resolution	Best for
1:1	1024×1024	Default, avatars, icons, social media
16:9	1280×720	Landscape, banner, desktop wallpaper
4:3	1152×864	Classic photo, presentations
3:2	1248×832	Photography, magazine layout
2:3	832×1248	Portrait photo, poster
3:4	864×1152	Book cover, tall poster
9:16	720×1280	Phone wallpaper, social story/reel
21:9	1344×576	Ultra-wide panoramic, cinematic

Key Options

Option	Description
--prompt TEXT	Image description, max 1500 chars (required)
--aspect-ratio RATIO	Aspect ratio (see table above). Infer from user context
--width PX / --height PX	Custom size, 512–2048, must be multiple of 8, both required together. Overridden by --aspect-ratio if both set
-n N	Number of images to generate, 1–9 (default 1)
--seed N	Random seed for reproducibility. Same seed + same params → similar results
--prompt-optimizer	Enable automatic prompt optimization by the API
--ref-image FILE	Character reference image for i2i mode (local file or URL, JPG/JPEG/PNG, max 10MB)
--no-download	Print image URLs instead of downloading files
--aigc-watermark	Add AIGC watermark to generated images

Video Generation

IMPORTANT: Single vs Multi-Segment — Choose the right script

User intent	Script to use
Default / no special request	scripts/video/generate_video.sh (single segment, 6s, 768P)
User explicitly asks for "long video", "multi-scene", "story", or duration > 10s	scripts/video/generate_long_video.sh (multi-segment)

Default behavior: Always use single-segment generate_video.sh with duration 6s and resolution 768P unless the user explicitly asks for a long video or multi-scene video. Do NOT automatically split into multiple segments — a single 6s video is the standard output. Only use generate_long_video.sh when the user clearly needs multi-scene or longer content.

Entry point (single video): scripts/video/generate_video.sh Entry point (long/multi-scene): scripts/video/generate_long_video.sh

Video Model Constraints (MUST follow)

Supported resolutions and durations by model:

Model	Resolution	Duration
MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3	768P only	6s or 10s
MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3-Fast	768P only	6s or 10s
MiniMax-Hailuo-02	512P, 768P (default)	6s or 10s
T2V-01 / T2V-01-Director	720P	6s only
I2V-01 / I2V-01-Director / I2V-01-live	720P	6s only
S2V-01 (ref)	720P	6s only

Key rules:

• Default: 6s + 768P — plan quotas are counted in 6-second units; use 6s unless user explicitly requests 10s
• 1080P is NOT supported on any plan — always use 768P for Hailuo-2.3/2.3-Fast
• Older models (T2V-01, I2V-01, S2V-01) only support 6s at 720P

IMPORTANT: Prompt Optimization (MUST follow before generating any video)

Before calling any video generation script, you MUST optimize the user's prompt by reading and applying references/video-prompt-guide.md. Never pass the user's raw description directly as --prompt.

Optimization steps:

1. Apply the Professional Formula: Main subject + Scene + Movement + Camera motion + Aesthetic atmosphere

   • BAD: "A puppy in a park"
   • GOOD: "A golden retriever puppy runs toward the camera on a sun-dappled grass path in a park, [跟随] smooth tracking shot, warm golden hour lighting, shallow depth of field, joyful atmosphere"

2. Add camera instructions using [指令] syntax: [推进], [拉远], [跟随], [固定], [左摇], etc.

3. Include aesthetic details: lighting (golden hour, dramatic side lighting), color grading (warm tones, cinematic), texture (dust particles, rain droplets), atmosphere (intimate, epic, peaceful)

4. Keep to 1-2 key actions for 6-10 second videos — do not overcrowd with events

5. For i2v mode (image-to-video): Focus prompt on movement and change only, since the image already establishes the visual. Do NOT re-describe what's in the image.

   • BAD: "A lake with mountains" (just repeating the image)
   • GOOD: "Gentle ripples spread across the water surface, a breeze rustles the distant trees, [固定] fixed camera, soft morning light, peaceful and serene"

6. For multi-segment long videos: Each segment's prompt must be self-contained and optimized individually. The i2v segments (segment 2+) should describe motion/change relative to the previous segment's ending frame.

# Text-to-video (default: 6s, 768P)
bash scripts/video/generate_video.sh \
  --mode t2v \
  --prompt "A golden retriever puppy bounds toward the camera on a sunlit grass path, [跟随] tracking shot, warm golden hour, shallow depth of field, joyful" \
  --output minimax-output/puppy.mp4

# Image-to-video (prompt focuses on MOTION, not image content)
bash scripts/video/generate_video.sh \
  --mode i2v \
  --prompt "The petals begin to sway gently in the breeze, soft light shifts across the surface, [固定] fixed framing, dreamy pastel tones" \
  --first-frame photo.jpg \
  --output minimax-output/animated.mp4

# Start-end frame interpolation (sef mode uses MiniMax-Hailuo-02)
bash scripts/video/generate_video.sh \
  --mode sef \
  --first-frame start.jpg --last-frame end.jpg \
  --output minimax-output/transition.mp4

# Subject reference (face consistency, ref mode uses S2V-01, 6s only)
bash scripts/video/generate_video.sh \
  --mode ref \
  --prompt "A young woman in a white dress walks slowly through a sunlit garden, [跟随] smooth tracking, warm natural lighting, cinematic depth of field" \
  --subject-image face.jpg \
  --duration 6 \
  --output minimax-output/person.mp4

Long-form Video (Multi-scene)

Multi-scene long videos chain segments together: the first segment generates via text-to-video (t2v), then each subsequent segment uses the last frame of the previous segment as its first frame (i2v). Segments are joined with crossfade transitions for smooth continuity. Default is 6 seconds per segment.

Workflow:

1. Segment 1: t2v — generated purely from the optimized text prompt
2. Segment 2+: i2v — the previous segment's last frame becomes first_frame_image, prompt describes motion and change from that ending state
3. All segments are concatenated with 0.5s crossfade transitions to eliminate jump cuts
4. Optional: AI-generated background music is overlaid

Prompt rules for each segment:

• Each segment prompt MUST be independently optimized using the Professional Formula
• Segment 1 (t2v): Full scene description with subject, scene, camera, atmosphere
• Segment 2+ (i2v): Focus on what changes and moves from the previous ending frame. Do NOT repeat the visual description — the first frame already provides it
• Maintain visual consistency: keep lighting, color grading, and style keywords consistent across segments
• Each segment covers only 6 seconds of action — keep it focused

# Example: 3-segment story with optimized per-segment prompts (default: 6s/segment, 768P)
bash scripts/video/generate_long_video.sh \
  --scenes \
    "A lone astronaut stands on a red desert planet surface, wind blowing dust particles, [推进] slow push in toward the visor, dramatic rim lighting, cinematic sci-fi atmosphere" \
    "The astronaut turns and begins walking toward a distant glowing structure on the horizon, dust swirling around boots, [跟随] tracking from behind, vast desolate landscape, golden light from the structure" \
    "The astronaut reaches the structure entrance, a massive doorway pulses with blue energy, [推进] slow push in toward the doorway, light reflects off the visor, awe-inspiring epic scale" \
  --music-prompt "cinematic orchestral ambient, slow build, sci-fi atmosphere" \
  --output minimax-output/long_video.mp4

# With custom settings
bash scripts/video/generate_long_video.sh \
  --scenes "Scene 1 prompt" "Scene 2 prompt" \
  --segment-duration 6 \
  --resolution 768P \
  --crossfade 0.5 \
  --music-prompt "calm ambient background music" \
  --output minimax-output/long_video.mp4
