I typed one sentence into an AI agent and got back a finished video ad. MiniMax Design planned the shots, generated video with native audio, cut the edit, and added subtitles. In this video, I build a full set of assets for Alto, a fictional cold brew brand. You will see a 15-second UGC TikTok ad, a 3D-directed cinematic shot, and a kinetic typography motion graphics promo. No After Effects, no editing timeline, and no separate audio tool.

🎁 MiniMax Design Exclusives:
- New users get 3,000 free credits.
- Annual Plan Offer: Get 20% off H3, H3 Max, and image generation for the full year.

📌 What's New in MiniMax Design:

- New Astra Model Upgrade: A smarter creation experience with support for professional software like Blender.
- Image 2.5: A new transparent background option for more flexible asset generation.
- Design 3D: One-click 3D modeling makes 3D creation much faster.

I also cover the H3 open weight video model, the Figma-style canvas, and the node-based 3D Director Stage. At the end, I explain where these AI design agents still fall short. Comment "MiniMax" below and I will send you the link to follow along.
