Hailuo AI Video Quick Start and Practical Tips
Quick start
- 1
Select a trending motion template before applying your character photo.
- 2
Specify start and end frame keypoints to bound character displacement.
- 3
Rerun with a shorter clip when limbs deform, instead of editing the output.
Pro tip
Core tip: define starting and ending frames for complex movements. Letting the model invent full trajectories introduces rubbery limb distortions. Pick short cinematic presets, write concrete action verbs, and avoid subtle micro-expressions for reliable results.
