Minimax Hailuo 2 - Cinematic Video & Animation

Hailuo 2 generates videos with fluid motion and strong instruction following, so what you ask is what you see. It handles image-to-video and text-to-video inputs, letting you start from an image or a prompt or mix of both. The cinematic quality is elevated through realistic lighting, camera angles, smooth cuts and motion continuity. It supports durations long enough for short stories, scene transitions, or showing change over time. The model is optimized to be more cost-effective than older high-end video tools, making this level of quality accessible to creators and teams without massive budgets.
