Overview and Main Features
1. Image-to-Video Generation
Upload a photo (up to 20MB) and Hailuo AI will animate it into a video clip. For instance, a still image of “a samurai in a field” can turn into a short scene with camera movement. It will take an existing image and transform it into a video complete with motion, camera angles, and transitions.
Here I uploaded an original image of a samurai in a field that had been generated with MidJourney.
In addition to the image prompting feature, Hailuo AI gives more control with text prompting. Although you can use the image prompting feature as it is, Hailuo AI allows more control with a text prompt.
Here were the results after adding a text prompt:
2. Text-to-Video Generation
You can type a prompt, and Hailuo will build a video around it. The AI adds scenes, animations, and even background music to match your text. For example, if you write about a “CEO givinga presentation to the board using data and visuals,”
Hailuo can do that:
This is useful for explainer videos or quick stories. Do note that there are tell-tale signs of AI generation. The humans move in an atypical manner and have an air-brushed skin quality.
3. Image Generation
Apart from being an AI video generator, Hailuo AI now has an image generator. I prompted it with “an image of a dog playing in the park” and I got this:
The image adhered to the prompt and had a high dose of realism. This is seen in the bright and rich background vegetation, complete with a beautiful, sunny sky.
4. Lip-Sync and Voiceovers
Hailuo AI matches spoken words to your character’s mouth movements. Just add a voice track or write a script, and the AI will animate the lips to match the audio. It will feel like the character is talking.
This works great for avatar videos or cartoon narrators. The speech looks natural and smooth. For example, when you upload a voiceover, the AI syncs it to the character so it looks like they’re speaking your lines.
5. Auto-Editing Tools
You don’t need to edit videos by hand. Hailuo AI comes with built-in editing tools: it trims clips, adds transitions, and sets the pacing automatically.
6. High-Quality Output
Hailuo can create videos that look cinematic, however, you need to write clear prompts. If you do, the results can be stunning. The scenes will have smooth motions and clean transitions..
In spite of these abilities, complex scenes may still need tweaks. But overall, the tool delivers high-quality motion and flow.
