Hailuo in a visual AI workflow

Run MiniMax's Hailuo in a visual AI workflow — punchy image-to-video and text-to-video with strong subject motion, BYOK at provider prices.

Hailuo in the NodeTool canvas

Fresh Hailuo examples are on the way. Meanwhile, here's the NodeTool canvas where you'll run it.

Hailuo, MiniMax's video model, is known for energetic subject motion and solid image-to-video — hand it a portrait or product still and it produces movement that stays on-model. Its fast and pro variants let you trade latency for quality.

In NodeTool, Hailuo is a node you can chain after any image generator or asset, then feed forward into upscaling, captioning, or a timeline. The workflow is portable: the same graph runs locally or in the cloud.

Hailuo is BYOK — bring your own provider key and pay list price. The provider coverage below is generated straight from the manifests.

Frequently asked

Is Hailuo good for animating a photo?
Yes. Image-to-video is a Hailuo strength — it adds motion to a still while keeping the subject consistent.
What's the difference between Hailuo's fast and pro modes?
Fast trades some fidelity for lower latency; pro raises quality for final renders. Both are separate nodes in NodeTool.
Can I use Hailuo in a batch pipeline?
Yes. Wire it into a NodeTool workflow with a list input and it runs across every item, emitting one clip per row.
