Source images and generated videos are shown separately. Copy a prompt to reproduce the motion language or adapt it to your own image.
A single source image guides the opening composition and subject appearance.
Original prompt
Cinematic image-to-video shot with smooth natural motion, preserve the main subject and lighting direction, no abrupt cuts.
Choose by starting material, reference method, resolution, and shot-control requirements.
Endpoint control
Use a first frame or first/last frames for longer controlled transitions.
Fast image animation
Animate still images with efficient camera and subject motion.
Fast cinematic video
Create image-led video with optional generated audio.
Hailuo 2.3 Fast Image to Video turns a source image into a continuous video shot while preserving recognizable subject details.
The Playground and API use model ID hailuo-2.3-fast/image-to-video. Keep image guidance and motion instructions in the same request.
These specifications reflect the current HiAPI Hailuo 2.3 Fast Image to Video request contract. Endpoint frames and multimodal references are separate input modes and should not be mixed.
Starting price is 540 Credits / video.
Start with a clear input image and a short clip, then increase duration after subject and motion are stable.
The first frame defines subject, composition, and shape. Add a matching last frame only when the ending state must be fixed, leaving room for the intended motion.
Write the middle process in time order, state whether the camera is locked, preserve stable details, and place sound cues next to their matching events.
Start at 6 seconds to inspect endpoint continuity and subject stability, then increase duration or create the production task with hailuo-2.3-fast/image-to-video.
This is a minimal asynchronous first-frame request. Use the API docs for callbacks, task retrieval, reference limits, and error handling.

Each generated video is billed at the selected duration tier. The page follows the global display unit, while the successful task record contains the final charge.
Use a clear, unobstructed source with a complete composition. Describe the main action and camera first, then name the appearance, material, and background relationships that must remain stable. Validate a short clip first.
