  • Async processing mode, returns task ID for subsequent queries
  • Supports text-to-video and image-to-video (first frame)
  • Supports 6-second and 10-second durations, 768p/1080p resolution
  • Supports 15 camera directives for cinematic control
  • Supports prompt optimization and watermark control
Important Change: For better performance and cost control, we no longer support passing base64 image data directly in first_frame_image. Please use the Upload Image API first to upload images and get URLs, then call this endpoint.

Request Parameters

​
model
string
required
Video generation model name, fixed as MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3
​

​
Camera Directives

Use [directive] syntax in the prompt to control camera movement. Supports 15 directive types:
CategoryDirectives
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 tips:
  • 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
  • Explicit commands yield more accurate results than natural language descriptions
Example: 
{
  "model": "MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3",
  "prompt": "[Push in] A cat running in a garden, camera slowly pushes in for a close-up",
  "duration": 6,
  "metadata": {
    "resolution": "768p"
  }
}
