Output resolution of the generated media (e.g. 720p, 1080p, 2K, 4K). Values are case-insensitive.
Hailuo 02 generates specific shots based on the description provided. Minimax designed it for precise prompt execution, grounded physics, and clean 1080P output that remains clear under close review.
With Hailuo 02 on Pollo API, developers can add text-to-video and image-to-video to their apps, set a start and end frame, and choose 512P through 1080P at 6 or 10 seconds.
Key Features of Hailuo 02 API
Start and End Frame Control
Supply opening and closing images to generate the motion between them, creating directed transitions, reveals, and morphs instead of an open-ended clip.
Grounded Physics
Render believable object weight, liquid flow, splashing, and momentum so dropped items, swinging limbs, and colliding surfaces behave as viewers expect.
Precise Prompt Execution
Follow named subjects, actions, and staging accurately to reduce repeat generations and make outputs predictable enough to plan around in a pipeline.
Crisp 1080P Output
Render natively at 1080P to keep textures, edges, and fine detail sharp, so faces, product surfaces, and busy backgrounds stay clean during movement.
Flexible Resolution Tiers
Draft quickly at 512P from a single image, then step up to 768P or 1080P for finals to balance speed and clarity across the workflow.
Stable Short Clips
Generate six- and ten-second clips that stay coherent from first frame to last, with steady subjects and controlled camera motion for social, ad, and demo formats.
Use Cases of Hailuo 02 API
Directed Transition Clips: Set a start and end image so a bud opens into a bloom or a sketch resolves into a finished frame.
Physics Explainers: Show a mechanism turning, a liquid pouring, or a structure collapsing with motion that reads as physically sound for educational tools.
Product Motion Shots: Animate a still product photo into a rotating or unfolding clip while keeping the original composition intact for ecommerce apps.
Detail-Heavy Close-Ups: Use 1080P for texture-rich subjects like food, fabric, or machinery where edges and surface detail must stay sharp.
Storyboard Previsualization: Turn a described shot into a quick moving reference, trusting tight prompt execution to match the brief before production.
Reveal and Morph Effects: Generate before-and-after moments, such as a room transforming or an object assembling, using paired opening and closing frames.
Fast Draft Iteration: Rough out ideas at 512P from an image, review the motion, then re-render the winner at higher resolution.
How to Use Hailuo 02 API
Get an API Key: Create a Pollo API account and generate your API key from the developer dashboard.
Choose the Model: Send requests to the Hailuo 02 endpoint at /generation/minimax/minimax-hailuo-02.
Add Your Inputs: Provide a prompt for text-to-video, or an image URL for image-to-video, and optionally an imageTail URL to fix the last frame. Set resolution and length (6 or 10).
Generate and Retrieve: Submit the task, poll the returned task status, and download the finished video once processing succeeds.
Prompting Best Practices for Hailuo 02 API
Write prompts like a shot description. Name the subject, the exact action, the force or direction behind it, and the camera, so the model's physics and prompt tracking have a clear target.
A Simple Prompt Formula
Subject + specific action with physical detail + camera movement + setting and lighting + style
What You Should Notice
Spell Out The Motion: Say how something moves, such as tips, spins, or splashes, so the physics engine has something concrete to render.
Use Frames For Arcs: When you need a defined beginning and ending, pair a start image with a tail image instead of relying on the prompt alone.
Keep One Main Action: Focus each clip on a single movement so the six or ten seconds stay stable and readable.
Match Resolution To Need: Pick 1080P for detail-heavy finals, 768P for balance, and 512P for quick image-led drafts.
Direct The Camera: Name the shot and movement, like slow push-in or side tracking, to guide framing across the clip.
Example Prompts
Physics In Motion
"A ceramic mug slips off the edge of a kitchen counter, tumbles once, and shatters on the tile floor as shards scatter outward. Low side angle, morning window light, sharp realistic style focused on believable impact."
Frame-to-Frame Transition
"Start on a bare winter branch, then transition to the same branch full of green spring leaves. Steady locked-off camera, soft natural daylight, smooth organic growth, clean realistic style with rich 1080P detail."
Craft Close-Up
"Two hands shape wet clay rising on a spinning pottery wheel, fingers pressing a smooth curve as water glistens on the surface. Tight overhead close-up, warm studio light, slow rotation, detailed realistic style."
Mechanical Demo
"An analog watch movement ticks as its gears mesh and the escapement rocks back and forth in precise rhythm. Macro camera slowly pulling back, cool even lighting, crisp realistic style highlighting fine metal detail."

Through Pollo API, you reach Hailuo 02 with one API key alongside 300+ leading video and image models, with clean docs, task status polling, and generation.
Hailuo 02 API FAQs
What is Hailuo 02?
Hailuo 02 is a Minimax video generation model built for precise prompt execution, grounded physics, and 1080P output, supporting text-to-video and image-to-video with start and end frame control.
Does Hailuo 02 API support text and image inputs?
Yes. You can generate from a text prompt or animate an image URL, and optionally supply a closing image to fix how the clip ends.
What resolutions and lengths are available?
Image-to-video supports 512P, 768P, and 1080P, text-to-video supports 768P and 1080P, and both run at 6 or 10 second clip lengths.
Can I control how a video starts and ends?
Yes. Provide an opening image and a tail image, and Hailuo 02 generates the motion between them for directed transitions and reveals.
How well does it handle physics?
Physical plausibility is a core strength, so weight, momentum, and collisions behave believably, which keeps action shots and object motion grounded.
Why run Hailuo 02 through Pollo API?
Pollo API gives one integration for Hailuo 02 and 300+ other models, with documentation, task tracking, and lower-cost generation than comparable providers.
