BUDGET MOTION DRAFT ROUTE
MiniMax Hailuo 02
Budget motion drafts for physics-aware tests, start/end frame checks and silent storyboard clips.
Use Hailuo 02 for low-cost 6 to 10 second motion tests at 512P or 768P before moving winners into higher-resolution or audio-capable production routes.
Budget drafts
Test motion ideas before spending on final-quality routes.
Physics tests
Check object movement, collisions and body motion in short clips.
Text or image
Start from a prompt or a still image depending on how locked the shot is.
512P or 768P
Draft cap on this route; use higher-resolution engines for delivery.
6s or 10s
Choose compact durations for timing and storyboard validation.
Silent output
Plan music, voiceover and SFX in a later production pass.

Hailuo or Pika?
Use Hailuo for budget motion and physics checks. Use Pika when stylized social loops and seed variants matter more.
Testing the landing frame?
Use image-to-video and end-frame planning when the final pose or composition matters.
Need sound or 1080p?
Compare with Kling 2.6 Pro when you need stronger output quality, audio support or production-ready renders.
How to Write a Great Hailuo 02 Prompt
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].

How Hailuo 02 structures motion tests
Text-to-video
Keep the test narrow: one subject, one action and one camera move.
Image-to-video
Use a start image when composition or product shape should stay stable.
End frame
Plan the landing pose with a clear final composition when available.
Prompt optimizer
Use optimization for quick drafts, then tighten the wording after you see motion behavior.
Upgrade path
Send approved movement to a higher-resolution or audio-capable engine for finals.
Quick prompt (fast iteration)
Use 1–2 sentences when you want variations.
[Subject] [action] in [scene], [camera move in brackets], [lighting/style].
EXAMPLE
[Subject] [action] in [scene], [camera move in brackets], [lighting/style].
Global principles
- Keep prompts short and concrete.
- Use bracketed camera/motion cues.
- Use an end frame (optional) to land the transition.
Engine quirks / what to watch for
- Prompt optimizer can expand short prompts.
- Camera brackets help steer motion.
- End frame improves landing and match cuts.
Demo – 10s city drift (9:16)

10s silent Hailuo 02 draft in 16:9. A cyclist rides through a shallow puddle on an empty concrete path. Water splashes outward and the jacket fabric reacts to the motion. Low side tracking shot with one smooth push-in, natural dusk light, simple background. Focus on physics-driven movement. No dialogue, no music, no SFX.

View full renderTips & 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.
