• •Character Consistency: Advanced facial recognition and body tracking ensure actor likeness and posture remain coherent across frames.
• •Dual Input Modes:
  • •Text-to-Video: Convert detailed prompts (e.g., “In an underwater city, bioluminescent seahorses swim by colorful coral skyscrapers…”) into vivid video narratives.
  • •Image-to-Video: Provide an image URL for relighting, scene extension, or dynamic camera panning.
• •Fast Inference: Optimized for ‘standard’ and ‘pro’ modes—balance speed and advanced features based on project needs.
• •Prompt Optimizer (advanced): Toggle enhancement to refine storytelling and scene coherence.

Best Use Cases

• •Film & Advertising: Create short cinematic teasers, product showcases, and dynamic trailers.
• •Social Media Content: Produce eye-catching 10-second clips for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
• •E-Learning & Education: Simulate scientific experiments, historical reenactments, or language immersion scenes with accurate physics and consistent narration.
• •Concept Art & Pitch Decks: Visualize prototypes, architectural fly-throughs, or game cinematics before committing to full-scale production.

Prompt Tips and Output Quality

1. •Define Scene Elements Clearly
   • •Use adjectives like “high-contrast,” “soft lighting,” or “underwater bioluminescence” to guide mood.
2. •Set Frame Rate Expectations
   • •Default outputs at 24 FPS; specify 30 FPS in your prompt for smoother motion.
3. •Leverage Image URLs
   • •Supply a high-resolution image to refine lighting and textures in image-to-video tasks.
4. •Toggle Prompt Optimizer
   • •Enable for richer detail and narrative cohesion; disable to preserve your original tone.

# Hailuo 02 Usage Guide

Hailuo 02 is a cutting-edge text-to-video and image-to-video model that generates up to 10-second, 1080P cinematic clips at 24–30 FPS. Below is a concise guide on how to configure prompts and parameters for different scenarios.

## 1. General Best Practices
1. **Be Descriptive**  
   Use vivid adjectives (“high-contrast lighting,” “soft focus,” “bioluminescent glow”) and specify camera actions (“slow pan,” “dolly zoom”) to guide composition.  
2. **Frame Rate**  
   Default is 24 FPS. Append “30 FPS” in your prompt or set in metadata if you need ultra-smooth motion.  
3. **Resolution**  
   Outputs at 1080P by default. If you need custom sizing, adjust in your API call.  
4. **Prompt Optimizer**  
   Toggle `prompt_optimizer: true` to enhance narrative cohesion and detail. Leave it `false` if you prefer a more literal translation of your text.

## 2. Parameter Definitions
```json
{
  "prompt": "Your scene description here…",
  "prompt_optimizer": true,
  "image_url": "https://example.com/scene.png",
  "mode": "standard"
}

• •prompt (required): Main text or scene description.
• •prompt_optimizer (optional, advanced): true for enriched storytelling.
• •image_url (optional): High-res image for relighting or camera panning.
• •mode (required): "standard" for fast renders, "pro" for maximum physics and detail.

3. Use-Case Parameter Recommendations

Film & Advertising

• •Mode: pro
• •Prompt Optimizer: true
• •Image URL: Optional HQ product or actor still
• •Example Prompt:

  “A sleek electric car speeds along a mountain road at golden hour, dust kicking up, camera tracking from rear 30 FPS cinematic.”
  

Social Media Shorts

• •Mode: standard
• •Prompt Optimizer: false (keeps tone punchy)
• •Image URL: Omit or use quick branding card
• •Example Prompt:

  “Fast-paced montage of street food stalls at night, colorful neon signs, jump cuts, 30 FPS.”
  

E-Learning & Education

• •Mode: pro (for accurate simulations)
• •Prompt Optimizer: true
• •Image URL: Diagram or textbook figure
• •Example Prompt:

  “Demonstrate how a volcano erupts, cross-section view, lava flow fluid dynamics, 24 FPS.”
  

Concept Art & Pitch Decks

• •Mode: standard
• •Prompt Optimizer: true
• •Image URL: Use architectural blueprint or sketch
• •Example Prompt:

  “Bird’s-eye fly-through of a futuristic city at dawn, sleek towers, reflective glass, gentle drone pan.”
  

4. Pro Tips

• •Iterate Quickly: Start with standard mode, refine your prompt, then switch to pro.
• •Keep Prompts Under 100 Words: Concise prompts converge faster and maintain focus.
• •Combine Inputs: For complex scenes, supply both text and a reference image.
• •Review & Refine: Use the prompt optimizer toggle to compare raw vs. enhanced outputs.

By following these guidelines and fine-tuning parameters for your specific domain, you’ll unlock Hailuo 02’s full potential for stunning, ultra-realistic short videos.

What’s the maximum video length?

A: Up to 10 seconds per generation.

Can I switch between standard and pro modes?

A: Yes. Use mode: "standard" for faster renders and mode: "pro" for advanced physics and detail.

How do I ensure consistent character appearances?

A: Include descriptive facial and body attributes in your prompt; Hailuo 02’s body tracking will maintain consistency.

Does Hailuo 02 support fluid simulations?

A: Absolutely. It excels at water, smoke, and particle effects with real-world physics.

What resolution does Hailuo 02 output?

A: Full HD 1080P by default; specify resolution in your API call if custom sizing is required.
