Text-to-Video with MiniMax Hailuo 02

Short, motion-driven prompts: subject, environment, camera, physics, style, negative prompt.

1Subject in motion
2Environment & atmosphere
3Camera move
4Physics/secondary motion
5Style + negative prompt

[Duration] second [aspect ratio] shot of [subject] moving through [environment]. Camera [movement]; [secondary motion] reacts naturally. Style: [realistic/stylized]. No text/logos/UI.

One idea per clip; keep wording tight.

Image-to-Video with MiniMax Hailuo 02 (+ End Frames)

Animate boards/renders/concepts quickly with optional end frame.

  1. Upload a keyframe or render.
  2. Optionally upload an end frame.
  3. Choose 6/10 s, 512p/768p and aspect.
  4. Prompt for camera + physics; specify landing on the end frame.
  • UX/UI boards into quick explainers
  • Concept posters into teasers
  • Looping backgrounds for streams or hero sections

Multi-Beat Clips & Loops

6s: 1–2 beats; 10s: 2–3 beats max in one environment.

Focus on physics-driven transitions in a single setting.

  • Beat 1: establish; Beat 2: motion/transition; Beat 3: hero frame
  • Keep to one environment/style per clip

Demo Prompt – 10s city drift (9:16)

10s

Demo Prompt – 10s city drift (9:16)

A cinematic 10-second shot in 16:9. At night, the camera flies smoothly through a modern city full of soft neon lights and warm windows, then glides towards a single bright window high on a building. Without cutting, the camera passes through the glass into a cozy creator studio with a large desk and an ultra-wide monitor glowing in the dark. The room is lit by the screen and a warm desk lamp. The camera continues to push in until the monitor fills most of the frame. On the screen there is a clean AI video workspace UI (generic, no real logos) showing four small video previews playing at the same time: one realistic city street shot, one colourful animation, one product hero shot and one abstract motion-graphics scene. The overall style is cinematic, with smooth camera motion, gentle depth of field and rich contrast.

10s city drift

10s vertical shot drifting through a neon-soaked city street at night, stylized but grounded in real physics.

Camera floats forward above puddles, reflections rippling as people/umbrellas pass in soft focus.

Wind gusts send trash and steam swirling; painterly look, saturated colors, no text/logos.

  • Single environment with physics cues
  • Easy to loop as a background
  • Silent output ready for your own track

Tips & Limitations in Plain English

  • Strong physics/motion for short clips
  • Good instruction following
  • Excellent price-to-quality for volume runs
  • Reference + end-frame support to lock composition
  • 512p/768p draft/social tiers, not broadcast 1080p
  • 6 or 10 s max; stitch for longer edits
  • Always silent; add sound in post or via audio engines
  • Tiny on-screen text/UI unreliable—overlay critical copy

Hailuo 02 is your fast, physics-savvy sketch engine—use it to explore motion before finalizing in higher-end models.

FAQ – MiniMax Hailuo 02 in MaxVideoAI

Why choose MiniMax over premium engines?

Great motion/physics at lower per-second cost, ideal for volume ads, explainers and experiments without burning budget.

What prompt style works best?

2–3 sentences covering subject, environment, camera and physics; one main idea per clip.

Does it support vertical video?

Yes—16:9, 9:16, 1:1 are available in MaxVideoAI.

Does it support audio?

No. Hailuo 02 outputs silent video; add sound in post or pair with audio-capable engines.

What if I need 1080p?

Use Hailuo 02 for drafts at 512p/768p, then upscale or rerun the prompt in 1080p engines (Veo, Kling, Wan, Sora 2 Pro).
