Model Comparison

Model	Text-to-Video	Image-to-Video	Resolution	Duration
`MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3`	✅	✅	`768P` / `1080P`	6s / 10s
`MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3-Fast`	❌	✅ (first frame required)	`768P` / `1080P`	6s / 10s

Resolution and Duration Combinations

Resolution	Supported Durations	Note
768P	6s, 10s	Default resolution
1080P	6s	10s not supported

Camera Directives

Use [directive] syntax in prompt to control camera movement:

Category	Directives
Pan	`[Pan left]` `[Pan right]`
Tilt	`[Tilt up]` `[Tilt down]`
Push/Pull	`[Push in]` `[Pull out]`
Pedestal	`[Pedestal up]` `[Pedestal down]`
Truck	`[Truck left]` `[Truck right]`
Zoom	`[Zoom in]` `[Zoom out]`
Other	`[Shake]` `[Tracking shot]` `[Static shot]`

Usage rules:

Combine up to 3 directives in one bracket for simultaneous movement, e.g., [Pan left, Pedestal up]
Sequence directives in the prompt for ordered camera moves, e.g., "...[Push in], then...[Pull out]"
