Hailuo 3.0 Is the Current Generation

MiniMax ships Hailuo under the model name H3. It still does the cinematic text- and image-to-video the earlier Hailuo releases were known for — but the reason to reach for it now is editing. H3 ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis' Video Editing leaderboard while sitting #2 in text-to-video and #3 in image-to-video, and unlike the models ranked above it in generation, it accepts a video as input.

It takes video as input

The headline change. Feed H3 a finished clip and describe one edit — relight it, swap the background, add VFX, re-voice the dialogue — and the rest of the shot stays exactly as shot.

2K with native stereo audio

Up to 2K at 24fps, and the sound is generated jointly with the picture rather than dubbed on afterwards. Clips run 4–15 seconds.

Nine images, three clips, three audio

One generation reads up to 12 reference files at once, cited in the prompt by order — enough to hold a character, a style, a camera move, and a voice together.

How to Make Ad Video with Hailuo AI

Go from prompt to tested video ad in 3 steps — cinematic quality from Hailuo, performance scale from Soku.

01

Describe It or Upload a Photo

Write a prompt or upload a product image. Hailuo handles both text-to-video and image-to-video, so a still catalog photo can become moving creative.

02

Generate a Cinematic Clip

Hailuo produces a short, high-fidelity clip with realistic motion and director-style camera movement — no film crew or editing timeline.

03

Scale & Test as Ads with Soku

Bring the clip into Soku, expand it into platform-specific variants, and launch structured tests across Meta, Google, and TikTok to find what converts.

Why Use Hailuo AI with Soku

Other tools generate a clip and stop. Soku generates, deploys as ad creative, and tracks performance — so every Hailuo video drives results.

Cinematic Motion Quality

Hailuo is known for unusually realistic motion and physical consistency — the kind of cinematic feel that stops the scroll in paid social.

Text & Image to Video

Start from a prompt or a product photo. Image-to-video turns existing catalog assets into moving ad creative without a reshoot.

Director-Style Camera Control

Pans, zooms, and dynamic shots give clips a produced, on-brand look — not the static feel of template video tools.

Built into the Ad Workflow

Unlike a standalone generator, Soku connects Hailuo output to variation, testing, and performance tracking across Meta, Google, and TikTok.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hailuo AI is MiniMax's video model family. It turns a text prompt, a still image, or — since the current generation — an existing video clip into short, high-fidelity video with cinematic motion and director-style camera work. It's widely used for scroll-stopping short-form social content.

Hailuo 3.0, shipped under the model name MiniMax H3 and released on July 30, 2026. It outputs up to 2K at 24fps in 4–15 second clips with native stereo audio, reads up to 9 reference images, 3 reference clips, and 3 audio clips in a single generation, and ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis' Video Editing leaderboard. MiniMax is also releasing the weights under its Community License.

Yes, as of H3. You pass the clip as a reference and describe the change — "In Video 1, change the lighting to warm evening. Keep the subject, the props, and the camera move exactly the same." It returns the same shot with only that change applied. Documented edits cover relighting, background replacement, object swap, adding and removing elements, and re-voicing dialogue with matching mouth movement.

You can get started with Soku AI for free — no credit card required. Soku lets you generate Hailuo-style cinematic video creative and then deploy and test it as ads across Meta, Google, and TikTok from one platform.

Yes. Hailuo supports both text-to-video and image-to-video. You can upload a product photo or a still and Hailuo will bring it to life with motion and camera movement — ideal for turning catalog images into moving ad creative.

On raw generation quality the current Hailuo model sits #2 in text-to-video and #3 in image-to-video, so Sora, Kling, and Seedance are genuinely competitive there — Seedance 2.5 in particular goes longer, to a native 30-second single shot. Where Hailuo 3.0 is alone is editing: it is #1 on that leaderboard and takes video as input, which the models ranked above it in generation do not. Rather than betting on one model, Soku lets you generate and test creative from several and keep whatever performs best.

That's exactly the workflow Soku is built for. Hailuo produces the cinematic raw material; Soku turns it into many on-brand variants, launches structured tests across platforms, and surfaces which video creative converts — so a single clip becomes a performance campaign.

Hailuo 3.0 generates 4–15 second clips at 24fps — short-form by design, and well-suited to paid social and UGC-style ads. Reference video is capped at 15 seconds combined too, so it is a shot-level tool rather than a timeline. For longer narratives you chain clips in an editor.

No. There's no timeline, film crew, or editing suite required. You describe what you want or upload an image, Hailuo generates the clip, and Soku handles variation, formatting per placement, and testing.

Use Hailuo to generate cinematic hero clips and product-in-motion creative, then bring them into Soku to scale into platform-specific variants and run creative tests. Soku's performance data then informs your next round of prompts — closing the loop between generation and results.
