Key features

Hailuo 02 turns a written prompt and a still image you upload into video inside Enhance AI. It produces 5 second clips at 1080p. Hailuo 02 is built by Minimax. On Enhance AI it runs on the same account as every other model, with no separate subscription.

Clip length

Hailuo 02 renders 5 second clips. Every render is the same length, so plan one beat per clip and chain clips in the studio when a story needs more time. A fixed length also means a predictable price per render, which makes budgeting a batch of shots simple.

Resolution

Hailuo 02 renders at 1080p. There is no resolution picker for this model, so the price depends on clip length alone and every render comes back at the same size. For a bigger frame, run the finished clip through a video upscaler on the same account.

Input modes

Start from a written prompt or from a still image. Text to video gives Hailuo 02 the most freedom; image to video locks the first frame, so a product, a face or a location stays as you shot it while the motion is generated around it.

What people make with Hailuo 02

Storyboards and previs

Before a real shoot, block out the film with Hailuo 02: one clip per beat, the same aspect ratio throughout, the same lighting notes in every prompt. Clients see the pacing and the camera moves instead of reading a script, and changing a beat costs one rerender rather than a reshoot.

Ads and explainers

Explainers and ads are built from a handful of short shots, and Hailuo 02 renders each one on demand. Write the script first, then one prompt per line, so every clip has a job. Cut them together with a voice track and you have a spot without a crew or a location.

Backgrounds and loops

Atmospheric loops for a website header, a stage screen or a stream overlay suit Hailuo 02 well: slow drifting clouds, rain on glass, light moving across a wall. Keep the camera still and the motion gentle so the loop point hides, and render at the ratio the screen needs.
