What is MiniMax Hailuo 2.0?
MiniMax Hailuo 2.0 is the start-and-end frame model in the Hailuo family. Pass a starting frame, an ending frame, or both with a prompt, and the model animates the motion into, out of, or between them. Every request needs at least one frame; there is no prompt-only mode. Output is 512p, 768p, or 1080p in 6 or 10 second videos; 1080p locks to 6 seconds. Prompts run up to 2000 characters, with an optional prompt_optimization pass that lets MiniMax rewrite the instruction.
What MiniMax Hailuo 2.0 is best for
Start-and-end frame ads
Pass matched hero frames when you already have the open and close as key art. The model handles the connective camera move.
Image-to-video from product photography
A single start frame turns a plate into motion.
Budget drafts
512p for cheap iteration before a 1080p final render.
Landing on a fixed frame
Send only an end frame when the shot has to finish on a specific image, such as a logo card.
When to use Hailuo 2.0
Pick Hailuo 2.0 when the composition is pinned at both ends: ads with a fixed open and close, transitions between two pieces of key art, loops that must land on a specific frame. For prompt-only video, 2K output, native audio or reference images, use MiniMax H3. For start-frame-only jobs, Hailuo 2.3 is the newer model at 768p or 1080p.
