Hailuo AI Video Generator: Hailuo 2.3 by MiniMax
Hailuo 2.3 turns a short shot note into fluid, cinematic movement, from a silk gown flaring through a spin to a quiet smile spreading across a weathered face.
Hailuo 2.3 is MiniMax's follow-up to Hailuo 02, built for dance, fashion, anime, product shots and expressive close-ups. On Pixel Dojo you can type a prompt and get a 6 s or 10 s clip at up to 1080p, or bring your own still to life with Hailuo 2.3 Fast. We made every clip on this page ourselves, and each one comes with its exact prompt and settings so you can start from it.
8 credits ($0.50) per 6 s clip at 768p. Included in every plan, from $10/month.

What you can create with Hailuo 2.3
Fashion film, a sweeping aerial, an emotional close-up and hand-drawn anime, all made by us on Pixel Dojo. Each tile shows the settings and credits it ran with, and Use this prompt starts you from our exact wording.
A fashion film moment at 1080p. The crimson silk flares into a wide arc on every turn, her face and arms stay crisp through the spin, and a single beam of light cuts through the dark stage. Start from this prompt for dance, fashion or fragrance campaigns.
Full shot, slow orbit around the dancer. A dancer in her thirties with a sleek black bun spins in a flowing crimson silk gown on a black mirrored floor and the fabric flares into a wide swirling arc, a single hard white spotlight from above, dust glowing in the beam, symmetrical composition, deep shadows, high contrast fashion film, 50mm lens.
An epic establishing shot at 1080p. The camera rises and pulls back until the curved stone viaduct and the misty valley fill the frame, steam trailing the red train as sunrise breaks over the ridge. The painterly, storybook look makes a natural opener for travel films, trailers and title sequences.
Aerial drone shot rising and pulling back. A vintage red steam train crosses a curved stone viaduct over a misty green valley at sunrise, white steam trailing behind it, low clouds rolling through the pine forest, golden light breaking over the ridge, epic scale, anamorphic lens flare, rich cinematic color grade.
An emotional close-up, brought to life from a still with Hailuo 2.3 Fast for 4 credits. The camera pushes in as his eyes crinkle and a small smile spreads through the grey beard, with the lit lighthouse glowing behind him. His face stays steady the whole way, which is what makes a close-up like this land.
Extreme close-up, slow push in. The lighthouse keeper keeps looking up as the lamp beam sweeps across his face, rain dripping from his oilskin hood, his eyes glisten and a small smile breaks through, cold blue storm light, shallow depth of field, soft film grain.
Hand-drawn anime at 768p. A courier in a yellow rain jacket rides a red scooter down a rainy night street, spray fanning from the back wheel, pink cherry blossoms and cyan city lights glowing behind him in a cel-shaded feature film look. Start from this prompt for music videos, anime openings or stylized ads.
2D anime film style, side tracking shot at street level. A stubble-jawed courier in a yellow rain jacket and a white open-face helmet grips the handlebars with both hands and leans hard into a turn on a plain red scooter, spray fanning from the back wheel across a rain-soaked street at night, cherry blossom petals whipping past the camera, blurred pink and cyan city lights reflected in the puddles, painterly backgrounds, bold speed lines, dramatic cel shading.
How to make a Hailuo 2.3 video on Pixel Dojo
- 1
Write your shot like a director
Start with shot size and camera move, then one subject doing one thing, then light and lens. Every prompt on this page follows that pattern, like our dancer: full shot, slow orbit, a crimson silk gown flaring on a mirrored floor under a single spotlight.
- 2
Pick your tier
Choose Hailuo 2.3 Standard to make video from text alone or from a start image. Choose Hailuo 2.3 Fast when you already have the still you want to bring to life.
- 3
Set resolution and length
Pick 768p or 1080p and a 6 s or 10 s clip. 10 s clips run at 768p, so give them a repeating action, like a dancer spinning again and again.
- 4
Bring a favorite frame to life on Fast
Have a frame you love? Hand it to Fast as the start image. We gave Fast a still of our lighthouse close-up and got a slow push-in with a warm smile for 4 credits.
What Hailuo 2.3 does best
MiniMax built 2.3 for better dance and body movement, facial micro-expressions, anime styles and product shots, and that is exactly where our clips shine. We made this 10 s clip on Fast from a single frame of our 1080p dancer.
Ten seconds of continuous dance from one start frame, for 7 credits. She lowers her arm and spins again and again, the silk swirling wider on each turn, while her face and footing hold steady to the last frame under the overhead spotlight.
Full shot, slow orbit around the dancer. She lowers her raised arm and spins again and again in the flowing crimson silk gown on the black mirrored floor, the fabric flaring into a wide swirling arc, a single hard white spotlight from above, dust glowing in the beam, high contrast fashion film.
- Dance and fashion: silk and skirts move with real weight, so spins and twirls read beautifully, as in our crimson gown clips.
- Expressive faces: eyes, beards and skin stay steady through a slow push-in, and small expressions like a smile spread naturally.
- Long, continuous moves: a 10 s clip keeps its subject, footing and wardrobe intact from the first frame to the last. Give it a repeating action so it has something to do the whole time.
- Anime and stylized looks: ask for a 2D anime film style with cel shading and speed lines and you get a hand-drawn look with painterly backgrounds.
- Sweeping aerials: a rising, pulling-back camera reveals real scale, like our viaduct shot across a misty valley at sunrise.
- Product motion: Fast turns a product photo into a macro splash shot with droplets glittering in the light.
- Delivery-ready files: 1080p clips come back at full HD 1920 by 1080, and every clip plays at 24 fps, ready for your editor.
Hailuo 2.3 Standard vs Fast on one product photo
We gave both Hailuo 2.3 tiers the same perfume photo and the same macro splash prompt at 768p. Standard delivers a bold pour over the bottle, and Fast lands a crown splash beside it for half the credits. Both look like a high-end fragrance ad.
Same prompt: Macro product shot, slow push in. A single amber drop falls from above and bursts into a crown splash on the wet black stone beside the perfume bottle, droplets glittering in the air, a hard rim light sweeps left to right across the glass while the bottle stays perfectly still, deep teal backdrop, high-end commercial finish.
Standard, 8 credits. A stream of amber strikes the bottle's shoulder in a fiery splash, gold droplets drift through the teal light, and the glass settles with a warm amber glow at its base. A bold, dramatic pour made for a fragrance launch.

Hailuo 2.3 settings and how to pick them
The Hailuo 2.3 tool has one prompt box plus these settings. Here is what each one does and what we pick.
- TierStandard · Fast
- Standard makes video from text alone or from a start image. Fast brings a start image to life for half the credits at 768p. We used it to bring three of our own stills to life on this page.
- Resolution768p · 1080p
- 1080p clips come back at 1920 by 1080 for sharp full HD delivery. 768p keeps files lighter and unlocks 10 s clips.
- Duration6 s · 10 s
- 10 s runs at 768p on both tiers. Give a 10 s clip a repeating action, like our dancer's spins, so it has movement from start to finish.
- Start imageImage URL: optional on Standard, required on Fast
- Hailuo keeps the composition, light and subject of the frame you give it and sets them in motion, so pick a still that already looks the way you want. Our 16:9 stills gave us 16:9 clips.
- Prompt optimizerOn · Off
- Off by default. We left it off because our prompts were already full shot notes. Turn it on when your prompt is only a few words and MiniMax expands it before rendering.
