Hailuo 3.0 — Native 4K 60FPS AI Video Generator by MiniMax

Hailuo 3.0 is MiniMax's next-generation AI video model that generates native 4K video at 60FPS from text prompts or images. It includes Director Mode camera control, Motion Brush localized animation, Smart Expansion, native synchronized audio with Music Prompt support, character consistency, and physics-accurate motion across clips up to 30 seconds long. It is built for marketing teams, content creators, e-commerce brands, and independent filmmakers who need professional video output without studio production costs.

Hailuo 3.0 delivers four major upgrades over Hailuo 2.3: resolution increases from 1080p to native 4K, frame rate doubles from 30FPS to 60FPS, maximum clip duration triples from 10 to 30 seconds, and native synchronized audio generation is added for the first time. Smart Expansion and Music Prompt support are also new in version 3.0.

Director Mode lets you choose a specific camera movement — pan, zoom, orbit, tracking, or crane — before generating. The model applies that movement consistently across the full clip duration while keeping subjects stable and scene composition accurate. It replaces manual camera operation with a single selection and works across both Text to Video and Image to Video modes.

Motion Brush lets you define which specific elements in a scene move and which remain still, giving you localized animation control rather than full-scene interpretation. You can animate a product, character, or background element independently without affecting the rest of the composition. This is especially useful for product demos and branded content where only one element should move within a static scene.

Smart Expansion extends an existing generated clip beyond its original duration while maintaining the same characters, lighting, camera motion, and scene continuity. It lets you grow a 15-second clip into a 30-second sequence without re-generating from scratch or stitching a disconnected new clip onto the end.

Yes. Native synchronized audio including sound effects and ambient audio is generated alongside the video in a single pass. Music Prompts let you describe the preferred audio style, genre, or rhythm in your prompt so the generated audio matches the scene's tone. Toggle audio off per generation if you plan to add custom voiceover or music in post-production.

Hailuo 3.0 supports 16:9 landscape for YouTube and widescreen placements, and 9:16 portrait for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Clip duration runs from 5 to 30 seconds per generation. Smart Expansion can extend clips beyond the initial duration while maintaining scene continuity.

No. Write a prompt or upload an image, select your Director Mode camera movement and clip duration, toggle audio on or off, and generate. Motion Brush gives extra control over which elements animate if needed, but no timeline editing, compositing, or technical knowledge is required. Use ImagineArt's AI video editor to refine your output after generation.

Hailuo 3.0 leads on native frame rate at 60FPS, native 4K resolution, and clip duration up to 30 seconds compared to most models that cap at 30FPS and 1080p.
