Hailuo on OpenVideos
Start-frame image-to-video and text-to-video with MiniMax Hailuo 02
Use Hailuo inside OpenVideos Create — upload a start frame in the hero form for hailuo-02-i2v, or type a prompt alone for hailuo-02-t2v. Credits show before you submit; gallery samples below open Create with the same model and prompt.
OpenVideos exposes hailuo-02-i2v for start-frame animation and hailuo-02-t2v for text-only clips through the Model Registry. The credit table below lists default estimates — resolution at 768p or 1080p updates the final cost in Create before submit.
Hailuo 02 targets expressive portrait motion, product hero loops, and lifestyle B-roll from a single still. Upload your key art in the hero form to keep identity locked, then describe only camera movement, background shift, or subtle subject motion.
Gallery samples on this page filter to Hailuo models only. Open View prompt for the full text, or Try sample to launch Create with the gallery preset.
Pair Hailuo with our image-to-video hub linked below, or explore cinematic and portrait spokes when you need adjacent still-to-motion workflows.
Capabilities
One model pair covers start-frame animation and text-only video — all through the same Create panel and My Works download flow.
Upload a start frame and use hailuo-02-i2v to animate portraits, product stills, or key art. Steer motion with a short prompt while preserving the original composition.
Write a scene prompt with hailuo-02-t2v when you do not have a reference still — useful for quick concept clips before locking a hero frame.
Pick resolution in Create before submit. Default 768p is lighter on credits; 1080p adds detail for hero social cuts and client previews.
Hailuo jobs cost about 200 credits at 768p or 300 at 1080p for both i2v and t2v. Browse chips in Create show the exact total before you spend.
How it works
Same Create modal and My Works flow as every OpenVideos video job — no separate generator page.
Upload a start frame in the hero form for i2v, type a motion prompt, start from a gallery sample, or open Create blank from our inspiration gallery.
Hero uploads route to hailuo-02-i2v. Prompt-only submits use hailuo-02-t2v. Switch resolution in Browse before submit.
Create shows the exact credit cost for 768p or 1080p. New accounts receive complimentary credits to try before buying packs on Pricing.
Finished clips land in My Works — preview, regenerate with tweaks, or download MP4. Failed jobs do not consume credits.
Prompt tips
When using i2v, the still already defines subject and framing — say “slow push-in, hair moves in breeze, soft background blur” instead of re-describing the person.
Hailuo reads cleaner when the prompt focuses on a single dolly, pan, or orbit across the clip — not three unrelated transitions.
Faces, packaging, and logos stay on-model when you start from the hero upload and limit prompt changes to environment or camera path.
Draft at 768p for iteration; switch to 1080p only when the motion direction is locked for final social or client export.
Credit estimates
Estimates use default schema settings in Create. Resolution changes the final cost before submit.
