MiniMax Hailuo 02 Video Generator

MiniMax Hailuo 02 is an advanced AI video model built to generate sharp, realistic videos from either text prompts or static images. It creates native 1080p output — no artificial upscaling — paired with industry-leading physics that make motion look natural. Whether you’re designing a quick stunt sequence, animating a product demo, or planning out a complex shot for film, MiniMax 02 takes care of the heavy technical work. You simply tell it what you want, and it handles the rest, down to tiny shifts in weight and balance.

This model isn’t just for playful tests, either. MiniMax Hailuo 02 has already powered some of the most shareable AI videos online, including the viral “Cat Olympics” clips where cats dive from platforms, tumble through the air, and splash into pools with startlingly lifelike movement. That kind of believable physics is exactly what sets this new generation of video tools apart from older, floaty-looking animation software. You can try it for yourself in our Video Generator right now.

It’s straightforward to start creating with MiniMax Hailuo 02. Just open the Video Generator on getimg.ai, pick whether you want Text to Video or Image to Video, then decide on your scene. If you choose Text to Video, you only need to type out what’s happening — whether that’s “a gymnast does a clean backflip on a mat” or “a chef flips vegetables into a pan while a camera moves around.” If you go with Image to Video, write a description, then upload a reference image, which MiniMax Hailuo 02 will then animate into a full clip.

When writing prompts, be clear about the action and the flow. Break complex motions into short, direct steps: “runs up a ramp, jumps, spins once in the air, then lands on a platform.” If you want camera movement, add that too, like “camera follows from behind” or “camera circles to the left.”

For physical scenes — the kind that made the Cat Olympics clips go viral — it helps to use grounded verbs like jumps, lands, sways, balances, rather than vague words like floats or moves. MiniMax Hailuo 02’s physics engine does the hard part, so your main job is to give it a scene that reads like a quick director’s note.

MiniMax Hailuo 02 Standard generates videos in 720p resolution and lets you choose between 6-second or 10-second clips — great for flexibility and longer motion sequences. MiniMax Hailuo 02 Pro delivers videos in full 1080p HD, but clips are limited to 6 seconds. It’s ideal if you want the highest quality output and don’t need extended runtime.
