Hailuo 02 – AI Text-to-Video & Image-to-Video Model

What is Hailuo 02?

Hailuo 02, developed by MiniMax, is a state-of-the-art generative AI video model designed for developers, creators, and product managers. Ranked #2 globally on the Artificial Analysis benchmark, it produces professional-grade, 1080P cinematic videos up to 10 seconds long at smooth 24–30 FPS. Leveraging advanced physics simulation, facial recognition, and body tracking, Hailuo 02 delivers ultra-realistic motion, fluid dynamics, and consistent character performance—ideal for marketing, filmmaking, education, and social media.

Key Features

• 1080P Cinematic Quality: Generate short videos in full HD with film-style clarity.
• 24–30 FPS Smooth Playback: Maintain natural motion even in fast-paced scenes.
• Ultra-Realistic Physics: Simulate fluid dynamics, gravity, and complex object interactions (e.g., acrobatics, water splashes) with photoreal accuracy.
• Character Consistency: Advanced facial recognition and body tracking ensure actor likeness and posture remain coherent across frames.
• Dual Input Modes:
  • Text-to-Video: Convert detailed prompts (e.g., “In an underwater city, bioluminescent seahorses swim by colorful coral skyscrapers…”) into vivid video narratives.
  • Image-to-Video: Provide an image URL for relighting, scene extension, or dynamic camera panning.
• Fast Inference: Optimized for ‘standard’ and ‘pro’ modes—balance speed and advanced features based on project needs.
• Prompt Optimizer (advanced): Toggle enhancement to refine storytelling and scene coherence.

Best Use Cases

• Film & Advertising: Create short cinematic teasers, product showcases, and dynamic trailers.
• Social Media Content: Produce eye-catching 10-second clips for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
• E-Learning & Education: Simulate scientific experiments, historical reenactments, or language immersion scenes with accurate physics and consistent narration.
• Concept Art & Pitch Decks: Visualize prototypes, architectural fly-throughs, or game cinematics before committing to full-scale production.

Prompt Tips and Output Quality

1. Define Scene Elements Clearly
   • Use adjectives like “high-contrast,” “soft lighting,” or “underwater bioluminescence” to guide mood.
2. Set Frame Rate Expectations
   • Default outputs at 24 FPS; specify 30 FPS in your prompt for smoother motion.
3. Leverage Image URLs
   • Supply a high-resolution image to refine lighting and textures in image-to-video tasks.
4. Toggle Prompt Optimizer
   • Enable for richer detail and narrative cohesion; disable to preserve your original tone.

FAQs

Q: What’s the maximum video length?
A: Up to 10 seconds per generation.

Q: Can I switch between standard and pro modes?
A: Yes. Use mode: "standard" for faster renders and mode: "pro" for advanced physics and detail.

Q: How do I ensure consistent character appearances?
A: Include descriptive facial and body attributes in your prompt; Hailuo 02’s body tracking will maintain consistency.

Q: Does Hailuo 02 support fluid simulations?
A: Absolutely. It excels at water, smoke, and particle effects with real-world physics.

Q: What resolution does Hailuo 02 output?
A: Full HD 1080P by default; specify resolution in your API call if custom sizing is required.
