Model
MiniMax Hailuo
Run MiniMax Hailuo 02 Standard and Pro and Hailuo 2.3 Pro for image-to-video with strong, natural motion.
Hailuo is MiniMax's video model and is particularly good at natural motion from a single still — the animation it invents tends to be plausible rather than the drifting, floaty movement that gives away a weaker image-to-video model.
Hailuo 02 comes in Standard and Pro; 2.3 Pro is the newer release. MiniMax also supplies the 472-voice speech catalog used by the Voiceover studio, so a Hailuo clip and its narration can both come from the same provider.
Standard-tier pricing at 20 credits for a 5-second clip — a third cheaper than the premium families, which matters when animating a batch of stills.
