Minimax Hailuo 02 T2V Pro API Documentation

Playground

Hailuo 02 T2V-Pro is a text-to-video model fine-tuned for ultra-clear 1080P video and responsive handling of physics-driven scenes. Ready-to-use REST API, no coldstarts, best performance, affordable pricing.

Features

minimax/hailuo-02/t2v-pro turns plain text into cinematic 1080p video with strong prompt adherence, realistic physics, and smooth camera motion. It’s built for creators who want film-like shots without hand-animating or storyboarding.

Why it stands out

• 1080p native output – Full-HD frames straight from the model (not upscaled).
• Enhanced motion & physics – Handles debris, cloth, impacts, and handheld shake with believable dynamics.
• Cinematic transitions – Temporal consistency reduces flicker and “slideshow” artifacts.
• Reliable prompt following – Low randomness and stable re-runs make it production-friendly.

Typical use cases

• Short-form social clips (Reels/TikTok/Shorts) with cinematic look.
• Ads & product showcases that need camera moves and physical realism.
• Film/game previz for scenes, shots, and mood boards.
• Education & explainers where motion clarifies complex ideas.
• AI storytelling—build micro-scenes purely from text.

Parameters

Pricing

• Fixed price $0.48 per run.

Tips

• Write like a director: include shot type (wide/close-up), camera moves (pan/tilt/dolly/orbit), lighting, and mood.
• Use motion verbs: “drifts,” “whips,” “racks focus,” “particles swirl,” “fog rolls.”
• Iterate fast: start at 6s to nail motion/lighting, then switch to 10s for the hero take.
• Keep style consistent: repeat key style words at the start and end of the prompt.

How to use (super short)

1. Prompt – Write a cinematic description (motion + lighting + mood).
2. Prompt expansion – Keep ON for smarter parsing & safety.
3. Run – Generate, review, tweak prompt/seed, and iterate.

Example prompts

• Epic aerial of glacial cliffs at dawn, low clouds hugging the ice; camera orbits slowly, sun flare blooms; photoreal, crisp 1080p, cinematic grade.
• Retro-futuristic race through neon tunnel, camera dolly-zoom, motion-blur streaks, sparks from hover-wheels, synthwave palette, dramatic backlight.
• Cozy study room, golden hour; slow push-in to a steaming mug, dust motes in sunbeam, shallow depth of field, warm film emulation.
