Why use Minimax Hailuo-02 Pro for video?
Higher fidelity image to video generation with improved clarity
Hailuo-02 Pro produces sharper textures, cleaner edges, and more refined lighting than the Standard tier. This makes it ideal for premium UA clips, shop animations, and high visibility promotional assets.
Enhanced motion stability with stronger character and item consistency
Character proportions, outfit details, and small features remain stable across the clip. Hailuo-02 Pro reduces jitter and motion artifacts, making it suitable for hero shots, cosmetic reveals, and gameplay style movements.
Improved camera behavior for more cinematic movement
The model handles smooth pans, dolly style moves, and simple tracking shots with better stability. This enables polished sequences that feel more professional and visually cohesive.
High clarity UA videos and performance driven ad hooks
Create crisp, expressive motion clips that stand out on mobile placements. Hailuo-02 Pro delivers the visual polish needed for strong 1 to 3 second hooks in competitive UA environments.
Premium character and cosmetic showcase animations
Generate smooth character gestures, outfit highlights, and item reveals with stable detail. Perfect for shop displays, skin promos, feature highlights, and LiveOps seasonal drops.
Cinematic environment motion for trailers and event teasers
Animate backgrounds, biomes, or thematic artwork with clean camera movement and controlled lighting shifts. Hailuo-02 Pro is strong for event intros, worldbuilding clips, and promotional teasers.

There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
