Hailuo 2.3 Pro: the still is the contract (6s, 10s, 1080p, 49cr)

Hailuo 2.3 Pro is image-to-video. If the label is wrong, every second is waste.

Hailuo 2.3 Pro is listed as professional-grade video generation with enhanced features. Categories: image-to-video and text-to-video. requires_image is true. Audio is false. Durations: 6s and 10s. Max output: 1080p. Credits: 49. The dual category is not a dual workflow. The gate is the upload. If you treat this as a prompt-only playground because text-to-video is also listed, every 6 or 10 seconds is a plate you never signed, billed at 49 credits.

The image is required even with a second category

requires_image: true wins the argument. Bring the file. The professional / enhanced / high-quality feature words describe what happens to that file when it moves. They do not describe a text-only Hailuo cousin.

If you only have a paragraph, this is the wrong row. Generate a still, approve it, come back. Running Pro "to see what it does" from a sentence is how 49 credits buy a 10-second almost.

Hailuo is MiniMax's video line on the Hailuo roster. Best Hailuo model is the ranking. Prompting: Hailuo 2.3 Pro prompting. The generate door for a locked plate is image-to-video.

Six or ten seconds of silent 1080p

Two lengths. Not 3s. Not 15s. 6s or 10s. Start at 6s until the subject holds. Ten seconds of a drifting face is not more professional. It is four extra seconds of drift.

Qualities: HD and 1080p. Ceiling: 1080p. Styles listed: Cinematic, Documentary, Abstract. audio is false — this is a silent Pro. Do not write dialogue into the prompt and wait for a voice. Plan captions or a later lipsync if the brief talks.

Forty-nine credits is the catalog sticker. It is not a 21-credit Turbo test and not a 5-credit upscale. You are paying for a 6s or 10s 1080p move off a still. If the still is wrong, you are paying for the wrong move.

Dual category is not dual intent

Text-to-video on the category list does not override the required image. Use it as a warning label: this model can be filed next to prompt-only rows in a filter, and you will still be asked for a file. Work it as image-to-video.

Prompt motion, not a new scene. "Slow push in, steam, label stays sharp." Not "a cinematic commercial for the drink." The commercial is the still. Hailuo 2.3 Pro is the camera.

Best 1080p AI video model is a ranked 1080p list. It will not tell you whether your plate is ready. Full-size still, human yes, then 49 credits.

Pro is not salvage

Enhanced features will not relabel a bottle. Professional-grade will not add a soundtrack (audio is false). If you needed native audio, leave. If you needed 4K, leave — the ceiling is 1080p. If you needed 30 seconds, leave — the list is 6 and 10.

Stay when the shot is: locked still, silent, 6s or 10s, 1080p, 49 credits. That is the row.

FAQ

Can I run Hailuo 2.3 Pro from text only?

The spec requires an image. Categories include text-to-video, but requires_image is true. Bring the plate. If you refuse, you wanted a different model.

Does Pro generate native audio?

No. audio is false. Silent 6s or 10s at 1080p. Add voice after, or pick a native-audio row if the generate must speak.

Why only 6s and 10s?

That is the duration list. There is no 4s sketch and no 25s storyboard on this slug. Match the length or change rows.

Is 49 credits per clip?

49 is the catalog credits value. Check the in-app quote for the exact job. Do not convert it to USD. Do notice it is enough money, in credits, to justify looking at the still first.
