Hailuo AI video

On Omnely, hailuo ai video means the MiniMax Hailuo family delivered through two live model pages: MiniMax H3 and MiniMax H3 Max. There is no separate /models/hailuo route — Hailuo generation runs on those MiniMax endpoints, with every clip billed in Omnely checkout credits (1 credit = $0.01).

This guide explains what each model does, the exact checkout credit rates from the live model pages, and worked examples so you can plan a render before you press generate. Everything below comes from the current MiniMax H3 and MiniMax H3 Max pages inside Omnely.

What hailuo ai video is on Omnely

Hailuo is MiniMax's consumer-facing brand for its text-to-video and image-to-video models. When creators talk about "hailuo ai video," they usually mean the MiniMax Hailuo generation stack — text prompts and reference images turned into short cinematic clips, often with native audio baked into the same pass.

On Omnely, that stack is exposed as two live models:

• MiniMax H3 — the flagship Hailuo endpoint on Omnely. Text-to-video and image-to-video, 4–15 seconds, up to 2K resolution, and up to 9 reference images with first/last frame control. Native audio.
• MiniMax H3 Max — a faster, lower-resolution Hailuo endpoint focused on 480P and 768P drafts with first/last frame image-to-video.

There is no separate /models/hailuo route inside Omnely. If you see "Hailuo" in a workflow, tutorial, or comparison, on Omnely that maps to one of those two MiniMax pages. Both share the same 7,000-character prompt limit and the same aspect-ratio set for text-to-video: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16.

Both models are text-to-video and image-to-video capable, so a still frame plus a prompt is enough to produce a short clip. H3 additionally supports multi-image reference conditioning, which is where the Hailuo family typically gets its "Omni-Reference" reputation.

MiniMax H3: native 2K Hailuo quality

MiniMax H3 is the higher-fidelity option in Omnely's Hailuo lineup. It is the model to pick when you want native 2K output, longer references, or the widest set of reference-to-video options.

H3 capabilities at a glance

• Duration: 4 to 15 seconds (default 4s).
• Resolutions: 768P and 2K (default 2K).
• Modes: Text-to-video and image-to-video.
• References: Up to 9 images. 1 reference = first frame; 2 references = first and last frame; 3–9 references act as reference-to-video conditioning.
• Aspect ratios: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16, plus adaptive I2V (uses the source image's ratio).
• Audio: Native audio generated in the same pass.
• Prompt length: Up to 7,000 characters.

H3 credit rates

Resolution	Rate	Default (4s)
768P	8 credits / second	32 credits
2K	13 credits / second	52 credits (default)

Credits-from on the H3 page is 32 credits — that is the 4-second 768P floor. The default preset is 4s at 2K, which lands at 52 credits.

H3 worked examples

• 4s at 768P → 4 × 8 = 32 credits ($0.32)
• 4s at 2K → 4 × 13 = 52 credits ($0.52) — the default preset
• 6s at 2K → 6 × 13 = 78 credits ($0.78)
• 8s at 768P → 8 × 8 = 64 credits ($0.64)
• 10s at 2K → 10 × 13 = 130 credits ($1.30)
• 15s at 2K (max duration) → 15 × 13 = 195 credits ($1.95)

Tip: If you know the final delivery is 1080p or lower, 768P at 8 credits/sec is often plenty and roughly 38% cheaper per second than 2K. Save 2K for hero shots and reference-heavy compositions.

When H3 is the right choice

Reach for H3 when any of the following is true:

• You want the sharpest native output the Hailuo family can produce on Omnely.
• You are stacking multiple reference images (3–9) for character or product consistency.
• You need controlled bookends — a specific first and last frame.
• The clip needs synced audio without a separate TTS or foley pass.

MiniMax H3 Max: faster Hailuo drafts

MiniMax H3 Max is the draft-and-iterate endpoint. It trades 2K and multi-reference conditioning for lower resolutions and simpler inputs, which makes it useful when you are testing prompts or generating alt takes before committing to an H3 hero render.

H3 Max capabilities at a glance

• Duration: 5 to 15 seconds (default 5s). Note: H3 Max does not support 4-second clips — the minimum duration is 5 seconds.
• Resolutions: 480P and 768P (default 768P). No 2K.
• Modes: Text-to-video and image-to-video, first/last frame only.
• References: Up to 2 images (first frame, or first + last frame). No multi-image reference-to-video.
• Aspect ratios (T2V): 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16.
• Prompt length: Up to 7,000 characters.

H3 Max credit rates

Resolution	Rate	Default (5s)
480P	9.9 credits / second	49.5 credits
768P	15 credits / second	75 credits (default)

Credits-from on the H3 Max page is 49.5 credits — the 5-second 480P floor. The default preset is 5s at 768P, which lands at 75 credits.

H3 Max worked examples

• 5s at 480P → 5 × 9.9 = 49.5 credits ($0.495)
• 5s at 768P → 5 × 15 = 75 credits ($0.75) — the default preset
• 8s at 480P → 8 × 9.9 = 79.2 credits ($0.79)
• 8s at 768P → 8 × 15 = 120 credits ($1.20)
• 10s at 768P → 10 × 15 = 150 credits ($1.50)
• 15s at 768P (max duration) → 15 × 15 = 225 credits ($2.25)

When H3 Max is the right choice

H3 Max fits when speed and unit cost matter more than final resolution:

• Prompt exploration — cheap 480P sweeps to check camera moves and pacing.
• Storyboard-style previews before committing to a 2K render.
• Simple I2V from a single still, or bookended clips with a first/last frame.

H3 vs H3 Max: quick decision table

Factor	MiniMax H3	MiniMax H3 Max
Max resolution	2K	768P
Cheapest rate	8 credits/sec (768P)	9.9 credits/sec (480P)
Default preset	4s 2K = 52 credits	5s 768P = 75 credits
Duration range	4–15s	5–15s
References	Up to 9 (multi-ref)	Up to 2 (first/last)
Native audio	Yes	Yes
Best for	Hero shots, refs, 2K	Drafts, previews, iteration

Notice that at 768P, H3 is actually cheaper per second (8 credits/sec) than H3 Max (15 credits/sec). H3 Max's cost advantage comes from its 480P tier at 9.9 credits/sec — a resolution H3 does not expose. So if you want to iterate at the lowest possible per-second rate, H3 Max at 480P is the tool; if you are already committing to 768P, H3 is the more efficient choice.

How to generate Hailuo clips on Omnely

The workflow is the same regardless of which Hailuo endpoint you pick:

1. Open the /video hub or go directly to /models/minimax-h3 or /models/minimax-h3-max.

2. Choose text-to-video or image-to-video. For I2V, upload your reference — a single image on H3 Max, up to 9 on H3.

3. Write the prompt. Both models accept up to 7,000 characters, so you can describe subject, camera, lighting, motion, and audio in detail.

4. Pick a duration and resolution. The credit total updates before you commit.

5. Confirm — the checkout credit cost is what you pay for that render.

A practical starter recipe:

• Iteration pass (H3 Max, 480P, 5s): ~49.5 credits per draft. Cheap enough to run 5–10 prompt variations for under $2.50 in credits.
• Hero pass (H3, 2K, 8s): 8 × 13 = 104 credits ($1.04). Use the reference frames and audio to lock the final look.

You can batch a research day of H3 Max drafts, then spend budget on a small number of 2K H3 renders once you are confident in the prompt.

Prompt tips for the Hailuo family

Both H3 and H3 Max accept dense, structured prompts. A repeatable shape:

• Subject: who or what is in frame
• Action & pacing: verbs, and how fast they happen across the clip
• Camera: lens type, movement, framing
• Environment & lighting: location, time of day, key light direction
• Audio: ambient bed, key sound effects, dialogue cues
• Style / limits: aesthetic references, and what to avoid

Keep motion changes proportional to the duration you selected — asking for a full four-beat scene in a 4-second clip usually looks rushed. If a shot needs more beats, either increase duration or split it into two renders and stitch them.

How Hailuo compares on Omnely

The Hailuo family is one of several video model families available inside Omnely. Choosing between them usually comes down to what a specific shot needs: physical realism, stylized motion, native audio, reference control, or draft speed.

For broader context on where MiniMax H3 sits next to other video engines in the catalog, two related reads:

• Seedance vs Kling — how ByteDance's Seedance line compares to Kling on realism, motion, and credit economics.
• Kling vs Veo 3 — Kling and Google's Veo 3 head-to-head for cinematic storytelling.

Practical guidance without inventing rates for other models:

• If you specifically need native same-pass audio and up to 9 reference images, H3 is the Hailuo-family answer.
• If you need first/last frame bookends without multi-reference conditioning, H3 Max is a lighter, quicker option.
• If neither profile fits — for example, you want a different look, a different physics model, or a different price curve — the wider /video hub is where you can compare.

Common questions

Is there a /models/hailuo page on Omnely?

No. On Omnely, Hailuo video runs through MiniMax H3 and MiniMax H3 Max. Anywhere you see "Hailuo" in the Omnely catalog, it points to one of those two live model pages.

Do Hailuo clips include sound?

MiniMax H3 and MiniMax H3 Max both generate with audio on Omnely — sound is part of the live model cards for both endpoints.

What is the shortest clip I can render?

On H3, it is 4 seconds. On H3 Max, it is 5 seconds — H3 Max does not accept a 4-second duration.

What is the maximum duration?

Both models cap at 15 seconds per render.

How many reference images can I use?

Up to 9 on H3 (1 = first frame, 2 = first+last, 3–9 = reference-to-video). Up to 2 on H3 Max (first frame, or first + last).

How are credits billed?

Per render. The rate is per second (8 or 13 on H3; 9.9 or 15 on H3 Max), so total = seconds × per-second rate. 1 credit = $0.01.

Try Hailuo on Omnely

If your next project needs Hailuo-style video — native 2K, multi-reference conditioning, same-pass audio, or fast 480P drafts — spin up a render on MiniMax H3 or MiniMax H3 Max. Start with an H3 Max 480P draft for prompt exploration, then move to an H3 2K hero render when the shot is locked. Everything runs through one Omnely login, and every clip is billed in transparent checkout credits with no separate MiniMax account required.
