Glass fruit cutting is a genre that thoroughly tests the comprehensive capabilities of AI video models.

The model must not only generate complex materials such as transparent glass, fruit flesh, seeds, and metallic knives, but also accurately handle knife contact, cut formation, fruit separation, internal structural changes, and light refraction. If any one of these stages goes wrong, the resulting footage may exhibit a noticeable AI‑generated quality.

This time, we used the same set of promptsto generate glass fruit‑cutting videos using MiniMax H3 and Seedance 2.5, then placed the results side by side for comparison.

• Upper frame: MiniMax H3

• Lower frame: Seedance 2.5

• Test subjects: strawberries, kiwis, pomegranates

• Video type: Glass fruit cutting ASMR

• Key points of comparison: material representation, motion fluidity, physical logic, internal details, and visual impact

Strawberry cutting effect comparison

MiniMax H3

The strawberries generated by MiniMax H3 possess a very distinct artistic quality of transparent glass.

The seeds on the strawberry’s surface, reflective highlights, and glassy exterior are quite clear; the main color is bright, making the overall result resemble a commercially lit glass artwork. When the knife approaches and slices into the strawberry, the visual impact is strong, and the red cross-section after cutting appears vivid as well.

Its main strengths lie in:

• Rich texture on the strawberry’s surface with highly recognizable seeds;

• Clear glass highlights, transparency, and refractive effects;

• Bright primary colors, giving the final piece an advertising‑style visual appeal;

• Close-up compositions of the knife interacting with the fruit deliver strong visual impact;

• The cross-section after cutting emphasizes a crystal‑clear, translucent artistic effect.

However, during certain moments of slicing, the fruit’s structure undergoes some degree of visual reconstruction. After the knife enters the fruit, the changes in the cut and internal structure lean more toward visual presentation rather than strictly following the physics of real-world cutting.

Seedance 2.5

The strawberries generated by Seedance 2.5 have relatively deeper colors, and their glassy appearance isn’t as bright or transparent as those produced by MiniMax H3. Nevertheless, the cutting motions and fruit separation process feel much more straightforward.

After the knife slices through the center of the strawberry, the two halves gradually separate, with a fairly easy-to-follow logical sequence of actions. The final cut presents a relatively complete view, allowing viewers to clearly observe the transformation from a whole fruit to its sliced state.

Its main strengths lie in:

• The process of the tool descending and making contact is quite clear;

• The transformation of the fruit from its intact state to a separated state is fairly smooth;

• The two resulting parts after cutting maintain relatively stable structures;

• The pacing of the action closely resembles typical ASMR-style fruit‑cutting videos;

• The spatial relationships among objects in the scene are easier for viewers to grasp.

In contrast, Seedance 2.5 exhibits slightly weaker glass‑like qualities in its strawberries, with surface seed details and highlight effects not as pronounced as those seen in MiniMax H3.

Key Features and Advantages of MiniMax H3

Judging from this round of output, MiniMax H3 excels at producing visually refined, transparently textured images with a strong commercial advertising feel.

Outstanding Glass Material Representation

MiniMax H3 demonstrates particularly strong performance when rendering glass exteriors, internal bubbles, reflective highlights, and transparent refraction effects. Especially in scenes featuring kiwifruit and pomegranates, the fruits appear almost like meticulously crafted glass artworks.

Richer Microscopic Details

The individual seeds of strawberries, kiwifruit, and the internal granules of pomegranates are highly distinguishable. Even amidst complex structural elements, the model still manages to generate rich surface and internal details.

More Impactful Colors and Lighting

MiniMax H3 delivers brighter, more saturated colors and stronger highlight effects, making the subject stand out more prominently against the background. The final results are well suited for advertisements, cover designs, visual presentations, and short videos that demand immediate attention.

Highly Polished Final Still Frames

The cross-sections of cut fruits typically appear very neat—especially kiwifruit slices—which lend themselves strongly to use as eye-catching covers or product showcases.

Suitable Content Directions

MiniMax H3 is best suited for:

• Glass fruits and crystal objects;

• High-end product visual advertising;

• Surreal material demonstrations;

• High-saturation ASMR videos;

• Short videos requiring polished cover art;

• Content emphasizing lighting, refraction, and transparent textures.

Key Features and Advantages of Seedance 2.5

Based on the results of this test, Seedance 2.5 leans toward clear action sequences, easily understandable object transformations, and relatively complete narrative storytelling.

More Intuitive Action Sequences

The processes of the knife entering the fruit, forming the cut, and splitting the fruit apart are presented quite distinctly. Viewers can quickly grasp the current action without confusion regarding the objects' states.

More Natural Object Separation

After slicing strawberries, kiwifruit, and pomegranates, the two resulting halves generally retain relatively intact outlines. In particular, kiwifruit exhibits clearly defined left–right structures following separation.

Good Consistency in Identity Before and After Cutting

The fruits generated by Seedance 2.5 look more realistic in appearance. Kiwis retain their brown skin, and pomegranates keep their deep red outer layer, making it easier to identify the objects before and after cutting.

Suitable for showcasing continuous actions

Compared to striving for extreme visual perfection in a single frame, Seedance 2.5 is better suited for videos that need to clearly demonstrate action steps and changes in state.

Suitable Content Directions

Seedance 2.5 is more suitable for:

• Continuous actions such as cutting, opening, or splitting;

• Food preparation and process demonstrations;

• Short videos that require a clear beginning, development, twist, and conclusion;

• Scenes emphasizing object motion and changes in state;

• Content combining real fruits with slightly surreal materials;

• ASMR videos that require a complete logical sequence of actions.

Core differences between the two models

Which model should you choose?

If your goal is to create a glass fruit video that is crystal-clear, visually stunning, and perfect for promotional covers, MiniMax H3 delivers superior results. It produces stronger glass refraction effects, richer internal details, and more vivid, commercial‑grade lighting.

If your goal is to create an ASMR video with clear cutting sequences, natural object separation, and easily understandable movements,then Seedance 2.5 is definitely worth trying first. It delivers a more straightforward performance in terms of knife movements, cut formation, and fruit separation.

In short:

• For material quality and visual impact: choose MiniMax H3.

• For smooth action and coherent process: choose Seedance 2.5.

• For creating cover images or visual ads: MiniMax H3 is more suitable.

• For capturing the complete cutting process: Seedance 2.5 is the better option.

Test prompt used this time

For this test, we generated videos using both MiniMax H3 and Seedance 2.5 with identical prompts, minimizing the influence of prompt variations on the results.

A surreal macro close-up, offering satisfyingly smooth slow motion. A crystal-clear deep-red glass strawberry, its surface adorned with delicate bubble textures, rests quietly on a light-colored polished wooden table. The background is a bright, transparent glass greenhouse, where blurred window panes, soft green plant shadows, and gentle morning light create a natural sense of spatial depth. The scene is clean, clear, uncluttered, and never overwhelms the main subject. A sharp silver knife precisely slices through the strawberry, revealing rich, pure layers of translucent red within the cut. Soft backlight filters through the glass flesh, producing ruby‑like highlights, refracted light, and sparkling halos. An ultra‑close-up, soothing ASMR texture, fluid slow motion, perfectly looped, surreal, 4K ultra‑high definition, packed with intricate details, high resolution, macro shooting, cinematic feel.

Summary of test results

This comparison of glass fruit cutting didn’t yield a definitive winner; each model showcased distinct strengths.

MiniMax H3 feels more like a visual director focused on aesthetic quality: the glass material appears more transparent, internal details are richer, and colors and lighting have a stronger advertising appeal.

Seedance 2.5 seems more like a cinematographer who prioritizes conveying movement: the cutting process is clearer, fruit separation feels more direct, and before-and-after states are easier to grasp.

For creators, when choosing a model, it’s not enough to simply judge whether a single frame looks stunning; they must also consider the project’s goals: Is the aim to captivate viewers with textures and visuals, or to ensure they can fully follow the action as it unfolds?
