How to prompt each one, with sample takes: the Hailuo AI page.

Image to video, all MiniMax.Image-01 draws the frame. H3 Max Turbo moves it.

No photo to start from? Make the first frame with MiniMax's image model, then hand it to a MiniMax video model. The clip keeps the frame's shape and adds its own sound.

The prompt

Night rooftop party above a dense city skyline. A DJ in his twenties with a bleached buzz cut and a silver puffer jacket, headphones around his neck, stands at his decks facing the camera, framed from the waist up, the edge of the booth just in the bottom of the frame. Hard magenta and cyan light on his face. Behind him a packed crowd with raised hands, haze in the air, city lights out of focus. Full-frame color photograph, eye level.

The camera rushes in on the DJ as he shouts into the lens, then he throws a hand up as the crowd jumps on the drop
2H3 Max Turbo turns it into a 5-second take with sound.

The prompt

integrated_multimodal_description:

[Shot 1] Live-action, cinematic. From the start frame: a DJ with a bleached buzz cut and a silver puffer jacket stands at his decks on a night rooftop, lit by hard magenta and cyan light, a packed crowd behind him. A pounding house track plays from the speakers and builds. He looks straight into the camera, grins and shouts over the music, then throws one hand up as the bass drops and the crowd behind him jumps. The camera pushes in fast, then shakes slightly on the drop. The DJ, hoarse and grinning, (S1) says: <d>[English] Last one. Make it loud!</d>

overall_soundscape:

The crowd screams and cheers as the bass hits. Feet stamp on the rooftop deck. Wind gusts across the roof.

MiniMax Speech 2.8 HD.One line, read four ways.

MiniMax's text to speech model reads with the feeling you set. These are sample reads to listen to: one voice, one line, and only the emotion or the language changes. A new account can't run it, because it needs a MiniMax voice.

Emotion
Happy, sad, angry, fearful, disgusted, surprised, or neutral
Pitch
Up or down by up to 12 semitones
Speed
From half speed to double
Languages
37 to boost, or Auto
Script
Up to 10,000 characters a request
Best for
Chinese and Cantonese, and fine control of a read

Sceneform offers no MiniMax preset voices, and voices you make here aren't MiniMax voices. Your own voice runs on Eleven v4, Qwen 3, or Seed Audio 1.0. See the AI voice generator.

MiniMax Image-01.Four drafts from one prompt.

The prompt, one run

A small orange tent pitched on a grassy cliff edge above a valley filled with morning fog. A hiker in a green fleece sits outside the tent holding a steaming tin mug, seen from behind. Pine-covered hills fade into the mist. First light from the left, warm and low. Wide shot, film photograph.
