API README

Hailuo 2.3 Pro Text To Video

Hailuo 2.3 Pro Text To Video is built for cinematic text-to-video generation, with this exact route focused on prompt-directed subject and camera motion. Hailuo 2.3 Pro by MiniMax - generate cinematic videos from text descriptions with AI. Create high-quality video content with natural motion, camera control, and optional audio generation. It is designed for production workflows that need a clearly scoped media operation instead of a generic assistant response, preserving the supplied direction while returning an artifact ready for review, iteration, or downstream assembly.

The request surface keeps creative direction and delivery choices explicit through prompt, duration, resolution, prompt_optimizer, sync_mode, safety_tolerance. Teams can lock source material, describe the intended result, choose supported output controls, and rerun the same request structure across variations. This makes experiments easier to compare and larger pipelines easier to operate without hiding important decisions inside an opaque preset.

Highlights

Prompt-Directed Subject And Camera Motion. The minimax/hailuo/2.3/pro/text-to-video route is dedicated to prompt-directed subject and camera motion, keeping inputs and outputs matched to this operation.
Coherent Scene Development. Within minimax/hailuo/2.3/pro/text-to-video, documented prompt and media controls direct coherent scene development while keeping the brief close to the result.
Production-Ready Short-Form Video. The minimax/hailuo/2.3/pro/text-to-video result provides production-ready short-form video in a machine-consumable form for review and downstream production.
Route-specific control. For minimax/hailuo/2.3/pro/text-to-video, documented controls include prompt, duration, resolution, prompt_optimizer, sync_mode, safety_tolerance, defining the supported variation space for this exact route.

When to Use

Scenario	Why it fits
Choose this route	When the deliverable is specifically prompt-directed subject and camera motion, not a neighboring generation or editing task.
Production iteration	When creative teams need repeatable coherent scene development with an explicit request payload.
Automated pipelines	When production-ready short-form video must flow into review, storage, compositing, or publishing.
Controlled variations	When a stable brief should be rerun while changing only documented inputs.
Prototype to scale	When the same `minimax/hailuo/2.3/pro/text-to-video` contract should serve a single experiment and a larger batch later.

Prompt Guide

Lead with the subject or source, then state the transformation, important spatial or temporal details, style, and finish. Supply only documented fields, keep media URLs reachable, and vary one control at a time when comparing outputs.

{
  "prompt": "A directed creative request with subject, setting, style, motion, and finish."
}
