FAQ

About MiniMax Hailuo API

Use MiniMax 2.0 when you need optional end frames or 512p image-to-video. Use 2.3 for the auto route between text and image inputs. Use 2.3 Fast when uploads are mandatory and you want shorter turnaround.

Duration is always 6 or 10 seconds. If you choose 1080p you must keep duration at 6 seconds. 512p is only available on MiniMax 2.0 and requires a start image.

MiniMax 2.0 and 2.3 expect a prompt unless the docs exception applies. MiniMax 2.3 Fast can omit a prompt when the workflow is image-led per the playground guidance.

Each variant maps to its own hailuo/minimax-* usage key. Check the live pricing matrix for credits per second or per variant.
