Hailuo AI: Professional Video Creation with Cinematic Control
Hailuo AI combines precise camera direction with realistic physics simulation—giving you creative control that rivals professional production tools.
Director Mode: Control Every Camera Movement
Unlike typical AI video tools that generate random camera angles, Hailuo AI's Director mode lets you command exactly how your camera moves. Use simple text commands like [Push in], [Pan left], or [Dolly zoom] right in your prompt. Layer multiple movements together—start with a zoom, transition to a tracking shot, all in one smooth sequence. The result looks like it was planned by a cinematographer, not randomly generated.
Subject Reference: Same Character Across Every Scene
Upload one clear photo of your subject, and Hailuo AI keeps that exact face, body, and clothing consistent throughout your video. The S2V-01 model tracks facial features, skin tone, age, and structure so your character looks the same from every angle and in every lighting condition. Perfect for creating content series, brand mascots, or any project where your character needs to appear in multiple scenes.
Physics That Actually Look Real
Hailuo AI simulates real-world physics in your videos—water splashes naturally, fabric flows with weight, debris scatters realistically, and camera shake feels authentic. This physics engine transforms AI-generated content from obviously fake to genuinely convincing. Action sequences, environmental effects, and subtle movements all benefit from this realistic rendering.
Four Specialized Modes for Different Needs
Hailuo AI offers distinct generation modes: Standard for general text-to-video, Live for animating drawings and sketches while preserving line art, Subject for character-consistent videos, and Director for precise camera control. Each mode is optimized for its specific purpose—choose the right one for your project and get better results than one-size-fits-all approaches.
From Prompt to Professional Video
Create cinematic AI videos with Hailuo AI in three straightforward steps
Choose Your Generation Mode
Select from Text-to-Video for creating scenes from descriptions, Image-to-Video for animating still photos, Subject Reference for maintaining character consistency, or Director mode for precise camera control. Upload a reference image if using Subject or Image mode.
Configure Your Video Settings
Set your output preferences: duration (6 or 10 seconds), resolution (768p Standard or 1080p Pro), and aspect ratio (16:9 landscape or 9:16 portrait). For Director mode, add camera commands in brackets like [Push in] or [Pan right] directly in your prompt.
Generate and Download
Click generate and receive your video in 30-90 seconds for Standard or 4-8 minutes for Pro quality. Output is MP4 format ready for social media, presentations, or further editing. Download directly or integrate into your workflow.
What Makes Hailuo AI Different
Key advantages that set Hailuo AI apart from other video generators.
🎬 Camera Commands Other Tools Don't Have
Most AI video generators give you random camera angles. Hailuo AI's Director mode accepts natural language commands—tell it exactly where to zoom, pan, or track, and it follows your direction with reduced randomness.
👤 One Photo Keeps Your Character Consistent
Upload a single reference image and Hailuo AI maintains that exact face and appearance across your entire video. Other tools require training or multiple images—Hailuo AI does it from just one photo.
⚡ Physics Simulation That Sells the Scene
Water, fabric, debris, and motion blur all behave like they would in reality. This physics engine makes the difference between obviously AI-generated and genuinely convincing video content.
🎨 Live Mode Preserves Your Art Style
Animate drawings, sketches, and comics without losing the original line art. Other tools distort artistic styles—Hailuo AI's Live mode adds subtle motion while keeping your visual identity intact.
🌍 17+ Languages with Natural Lip Movements
Generate videos with speech in over 17 languages, complete with lip sync that matches the audio. Create localized content for different markets without re-shooting or hiring voice actors.
⏱️ Faster Generation for Quick Iterations
The Fast variant produces 768p clips in around 55 seconds—one of the quickest generation times available. Test concepts rapidly and refine your ideas without long waits between versions.
Hailuo AI FAQ
Common questions about Hailuo AI video generator—features, capabilities, formats, and best practices.
What video resolutions and durations does Hailuo AI support?
Hailuo AI supports 768p (Standard) and 1080p (Pro) resolutions. Video duration options are 6 seconds or 10 seconds. Output runs at 24-30 frames per second for smooth playback. Both 16:9 (landscape) and 9:16 (portrait) aspect ratios are available for different platform needs.
How do I use Director mode for camera control?
Add camera commands in square brackets directly in your prompt. Examples: [Push in] for zoom, [Pan left] for horizontal movement, [Dolly zoom] for the classic vertigo effect. You can combine multiple commands like [Push in, Pan left] for layered movements. The model follows these directions with high accuracy and reduced randomness compared to standard generation.
What is Subject Reference and when should I use it?
Subject Reference (S2V-01) maintains character consistency across your video. Upload one clear reference photo of a person, and the model preserves their exact facial features, skin tone, body proportions, and clothing throughout the video. Use it when you need the same character appearing in multiple scenes or when creating content series with a recurring person.
How long does video generation take?
Generation time varies by quality setting: Standard (768p) takes approximately 30-90 seconds per clip, while Pro (1080p) takes 4-8 minutes. The Fast variant generates 768p 6-second clips in about 55 seconds—among the fastest in the industry. Complex prompts with detailed physics may take slightly longer.
What input formats does Hailuo AI accept?
For images: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and AVIF formats are supported (maximum 5MB). For Subject Reference, use a clear, well-lit photo where the subject's face is fully visible. Generated videos are exported as MP4 format compatible with all major platforms and editing software.
Can I use Hailuo AI videos for commercial projects?
Yes. Videos created with Hailuo AI can be used for commercial purposes including marketing campaigns, advertising, social media content, client work, and product demonstrations. You retain full usage rights to all content you generate.
