Why MiniMax Hailuo 02 is powerful

  • Extreme physics cues (Wind, cloth, particles, and inertia read surprisingly well for quick tests.)
  • End-frame control (Add a target last frame to steer how the shot lands.)
  • Built for volume (Great when you need lots of variants without burning budget.)
  • Silent drafts (Easy to score in post (or pair with an audio-capable engine for finals).)

Physics-heavy draftsDetails

Strong at physical motion like wind, cloth, and particles. Ideal for motion tests and transition exploration.

  • Call out wind or force direction.
  • Use simple scenes for readable motion.
  • Test multiple transitions quickly.
  • Great for animatics and previz.
End-frame controlDetails

You can guide how a shot lands by defining a target end frame. Useful for match cuts and clean finishes.

  • Specify what must be preserved.
  • Describe the final pose clearly.
  • Use as a bridge between two shots.
  • Pair with premium engines for finals.

How to Write a Great Hailuo 02 Prompt

MiniMax

Hailuo 02 works best with short prompts and explicit motion cues.

Tip: duration + aspect ratio are set in the UI - your prompt controls subject, action, camera, lighting, and style. Use bracketed camera moves like [pan], [tilt], [zoom].

Quick prompt (fast iteration)

Use 1–2 sentences when you want variations.

Quick = variations. Use for fast iteration.

Template (copy/paste)

[Subject] [action] in [scene], [camera move in brackets], [lighting/style].

Example

Handheld smartphone UGC clip of a woman unboxing a new skincare bottle at a kitchen table. She peels the seal, smiles, and turns the bottle toward camera. Soft window daylight, natural colors, clean kitchen background, product label held readable in the final beat.

6s

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.

Tips & Limitations

Hailuo 02 is a draft-tier physics engine: use it for motion tests, transition experiments, and landing clean end frames.

What works best

  • Physics-first prompts: call out force direction + material response (wind/cloth/particles/inertia/contact) instead of long style lists.
  • Use bracketed camera moves ([pan], [tilt], [push in]) and keep it to one move per clip.
  • Keep scenes simple so motion reads (one hero subject, one clear action).
  • Use First/Last frame when you need a clean landing (match cuts, transforms, start→end transitions).
  • Generate multiple variants fast; pick the best motion, then rebuild finals in a higher-fidelity engine.

Common problems → fast fixes

  • Motion feels floaty → add weight/contact cues (“grounded”, “friction”, “objects don’t slide”), slow the action, reduce camera shake.
  • Drift / changes mid-clip → reduce props and secondary characters; repeat the same subject + wardrobe + lighting anchors.
  • End frame doesn’t land → describe the final pose/composition explicitly; remove extra actions near the end.
  • Jittery camera → specify “tripod-stable” or “smooth track”; avoid “dynamic” wording.
  • Random text/logos → add a short negative (“no text, no logos, no UI”) and keep signage out of frame.

Hard limits to keep in mind

  • Draft resolutions (512p / 768p), not 1080p finals.
  • 6s or 10s per render in this routing.
  • Silent output — add sound in post.
  • Tiny on-screen text is unreliable — overlay critical copy in post.

Hailuo 02 vs LTX-2 Fast

View LTX-2 Fast details →

Use Hailuo 02 when you want:

  • Physics-heavy motion drafts
  • Fast visual iteration on a budget
  • Quick storyboard animatics

Use LTX-2 Fast when you need:

  • More room per clip for pacing
  • Drafts that stay closer to camera intent
  • An easy upgrade path to Pro

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 higher-resolution engines (Veo, Kling, Wan, Sora 2 Pro).
