Minimax Hailuo I2V-01-live is an image-to-video generation model that transforms a single reference image into a short animated sequence using a guiding text prompt. Minimax Hailuo I2V-01-live blends visual content from a provided image with motion and narrative described in text. This is particularly suitable for creating engaging short videos from static visuals with dynamic storytelling.

Minimax Hailuo I2V-01-live supports text-guided video synthesis based on a single keyframe image.

Generates videos with smooth camera motion and style consistency.

Average output duration is between 3 to 6 seconds.

Optimized for fast generation while preserving fidelity to the input image and prompt content.

If the first frame image contains text or watermarks, the generated video may duplicate or distort these elements.

Prompt relevance is critical. Irrelevant or vague prompts may result in less coherent video output.

Currently, Minimax Hailuo I2V-01-live works best with prompts in English. Other languages may produce unstable results.

The style and dynamics of motion depend on the synergy between the prompt and the first frame image. Consistency is important.

Prompt

• Use specific visual language (e.g., "a fox running through a snowy forest") rather than abstract descriptions.
• To guide motion, include verbs such as walking, spinning, flying, approaching, zooming, etc.
• Avoid ambiguity. For example, instead of “a beautiful city,” write “a futuristic neon-lit cityscape at night.”
• Descriptions of camera effects (e.g., “slow zoom in,” “tracking shot from behind”) can influence output.

First Frame Image

• Choose an image that clearly depicts the main subject in the center and is free from clutter.
• Use high-resolution and well-lit images. Low-quality inputs may result in blurry or deformed video content.
• The style of the image (realistic, 3D, anime, etc.) influences the overall tone of the animation.

Prompt Optimizer

• Enabling prompt_optimizer = true automatically enhances the prompt to align better with the image and improves coherence.
• If using optimized prompts, avoid manually overloading the text with modifiers, as this may create redundancy.
• If your prompt is already highly detailed, you can disable the optimizer to retain full control over the narrative.

Generates short looping or narrative video clips based on a single image and a prompt.

Can simulate cinematic motion such as camera panning, tracking, or object movement.

Ideal for storytelling, visual prototyping, or enhancing static images with dynamic content.

Creating animated content from key visuals for creative projects.

Enhancing illustrations or artworks with subtle movement and transitions.

Producing visual storytelling content for marketing, social media, or design mockups.

Developing character animations starting from a character concept image and descriptive text.

Use an image of a product, character, or landscape and describe a dramatic scene in the prompt.

Combine stylistic prompts like “cyberpunk city at night” with matching images for genre-specific effects.

Try zoom or camera movement prompts like “the camera slowly zooms in on the character’s face.”

ixed video duration and resolution.

Does not support audio generation or lip sync.

Inconsistent results may occur with abstract prompts or images that lack clear visual structure.

Cannot generate videos with complex multi-scene transitions or drastic changes in perspective.
