Minimax Hailuo V1 Director | Image to Video

Hailuo I2V Director generates high-quality MP4 videos from text prompts and a first-frame image, combining image conditioning with text-driven motion for coherent, cinematic results. Provide a sharp, well-lit initial frame and a detailed prompt specifying camera moves, lighting, actions, and style to maximize realism and consistency. It supports varied artistic looks—from photorealistic to abstract—and maintains visual continuity across frames. Use the Prompt Optimizer if outputs feel unfocused, and consider post-processing for frame rate, color grading, or smoothing in professional workflows. Longer or complex scenes require more compute, and extremely intricate motions or vague prompts may reduce fidelity.
