Geothermal loop fields are MiniMax H3 trench, 26cr
MiniMax H3 2K text-to-video, 5–15s, 26 credits is the trench motion; do not generate a talking installer as proof of depth.
MiniMax H3 2K text-to-video, 5–15s, 26cr is the trench motion. Do not generate a talking installer as proof of depth.
A geothermal clip that books a loop field is the cut: open trench, pipe in the bed, backfill in progress, a yard that reads as a machine job. It is not a constructed installer walking borehole depth, a COP card, or “what you should do with this well.” Those lines are a consult. Depth is a number on a drawing. Buy the trench plate. Do not buy a talking mouth to prove the pipe is in the ground.
The trench is the picture
Write camera and dirt. “Locked wide, open loop trench, HDPE in the bed, overcast, slow push, no people.” Stop. “Maya from install explaining your depth” is a second job. It is a private-person job if Maya is on payroll. It is a prescription job if the line is a well log.
MiniMax H3 Text to Video is a frontier row: 2K from a text prompt alone, durations 5s through 15s, 26 credits, six aspect ratios (21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16). Catalog audio is empty. This file is silent. Quoted lines in the prompt do not become a voice. That is the point of using H3 on a loop field: you get a sharp plate without a mouth.
Open it from the AI video generator. Iterate at 5s or 6s. Fifteen seconds of the same trench is a long miss unless the move actually lasts. Pick aspect for the destination. 21:9 cropped to 9:16 throws away the 2K you paid for. 9:16 if the feed is vertical. 16:9 if the site header is.
H3 will invent a generic trench. That is allowed when the ad is “we bury loops,” not “this serial-numbered header on this lot.” Livery, a unit number, your manifold — photograph those. Then the job is image-to-video on a locked still, not this T2V slug.
2K, silent, 26 credits — not a talking meter
Audio is unset on this slug. Do not claim native dialogue. Do not write a depth VO into the prompt and wait for a soundtrack. Score after lock if you want a bed. Overlay after lock if you need a town, a loop type you actually sell, a phone line. H3 will not letter a borehole log. Invented feet are a claim you cannot ship.
26 credits is the catalog figure. It is not a cheap talking-head discount and it is not a 4K promise. Max output is 2K. Use that when the plate will sit large. Do not buy 2K to fill a phone feed that will crush it.
Five seconds is the honest test. The spec will let you go to 15. A generic trench still drifts at the long end: extra guys, extra trucks, a house that is not the one you quoted. Until the iron holds, stay short. Prompt the cut, not a brand film about “the future of home energy.”
Muted autoplay still needs a line on the file. H3 will not typeset the county. Add a text overlay burns one authored line, whole clip, top / center / bottom. It does not transcribe. Depth, if you publish it, is type you typed from the drawing.
A talking installer is not proof of depth
Depth is a number on a loop design. A photoreal installer pointing at a trench and saying how deep you “should” go is a constructed presenter playing expert. You do not need that mouth to prove the pipe is in the ground. The trench is the proof. The drawing is the depth. Overlay the figure you already stand behind, or leave it off.
Synthetic presenters on health and finance are a YPP kill when the persona plays human expert on health, legal, finance, or politics. Geothermal talk that slides into indoor-air advice, “what you should do with this radon-adjacent well,” or a fake efficiency guarantee from a constructed face is that shape with a hard hat. Labelling the face AI does not leave the bucket. A silent trench is not that shape.
Do not glue a talking COP card onto the trench file. If a job needs a voice, that voice is a real named person on a different day. Generation can still do the cut. It cannot be the adviser. Do not generate a homeowner in the yard to “humanise” the dig. Empty trench. Pipe in the bed. Overlay the phone.
Not the HVAC contractor page
HVAC companies already have a contractor page: seasonal AC checks, furnace tune-ups, a named tech when someone must speak. That playbook is air handlers and the prep window before the emergency-call rush. This listing is not that page rewritten. Geothermal loop work is the trench. The nearby audience is HVAC. The job here is the open cut and the pipe in the bed.
Contractors are the wider trade page: demo-day, behind the walls, a homeowner walkthrough. A loop field is not a kitchen gut. Do not rewrite the contractor page as a trench commercial.
If the week is “we also set the indoor unit,” photograph the air handler and overlay the model. Do not let H3 invent a mechanical room and a talking tech. H3 is the 2K trench when the dirt and the HDPE are the ad.
FAQ
If I prompt “no advice,” can H3 still put an installer in the trench?
The face is still a constructed presenter. Depth talk is still a consult. Hold the cut. If someone must speak, put a real named person on camera, or do not prescribe.
Does MiniMax H3 take a photo of our loop field?
Not on this slug. H3 is text-to-video, 2K, 5–15s, 26 credits, audio empty. Your header and livery are image-to-video from a still, a different job. Use T2V when a generic trench is enough.
Do silent trench clips still need type?
If they autoplay muted and there is a town, a CTA, or a loop type you sell, yes. Overlay the line you wrote. H3 will not typeset it, and it will not speak it. Do not ask the model to paint borehole feet into the dirt.
Why not a talking cinematic row because it looks more “brand”?
A talking generate of an installer is the expert-persona pattern, and it is not proof of depth. The trench on H3 is the geothermal job: 2K, silent, 5–15s, 26 credits. Score later. No lips.
