Hailuo AI Video Editor
Edit and generate short AI videos with the live MiniMax H3 / Hailuo 3 workspace: start from text, animate frames, or guide a result with image, video, and audio references.
Also consider: Use MiniMax H3 Max when a faster 480p or 768p text or keyframe pass is a better fit than Hailuo 3's 2K and mixed-reference workflow.

Shot plan for this route
Choose the lightest input that answers the job. A fresh scene needs one clear written shot. A product animation or transition usually needs a first frame and an optional last frame. A continuity-sensitive edit needs the relevant image, video, or audio references plus a concise instruction for what changes and what remains. Start with one visible action and one camera move, then review the completed video before extending a direction.
- 01
Pick the right source
Use text for a new scene, frames for controlled composition, and mixed references for continuity-sensitive work.
- 02
State what is fixed
Name the subject, framing, product detail, identity, or sound cue that must survive before describing the new motion.
- 03
Direct one shot
Write one visible action and one camera move with lighting and sound in the order they happen.
- 04
Review before scaling
Check prompt adherence, motion continuity, identity, and audio in the completed clip before increasing duration or changing the brief.
Hailuo AI Video Editor reel
Reference clips for action, camera, and sound continuity. Treat them as shot boards, not final deliverables.
Model brief
What Hailuo AI Video Editor is for
Hailuo AI Video Editor is a practical video-creation workflow on this site, powered by the live MiniMax H3 / Hailuo 3 routes. It does not replace a conventional timeline editor: it generates a new short clip from a written direction, an approved start frame, or references that convey identity, movement, voice, and style. Use text-to-video for a new scene, image-to-video when the opening composition is already approved, and reference-to-video when a character, product, movement, or audio cue has to remain recognizable across the result.
Production notes
Keep the comparison tied to controls you can actually set in the generator.
- Text-to-video scene creation
- Turn a directed prompt into a short video with a stated subject, action, camera move, light, and sound environment.
- First and last frame control
- Animate a selected opening composition and optionally guide the ending frame when a reveal or transition has to land in a specific place.
- Mixed references
- Use supported image, video, and audio references when identity, product details, movement, voice, or style need more guidance than prompt text alone.
- Synchronized sound
- Describe dialogue, ambience, effects, or music in the shot brief so sound is created with the video rather than assumed afterwards.

Hailuo AI Video Editor shot prompts
Write the shot in production order. Copy a brief, replace the subject, keep camera and sound concrete.
Product animation from a first frame
Keep product shape and framing in the uploaded image, then direct only the motion, light shift, and camera move.
The watch remains centered on the black stone plinth. A narrow warm light sweeps across the bezel as the camera makes one slow three-quarter orbit. Quiet studio room tone and a soft mechanical click.
Continuity-guided character shot
Attach the authorized reference that carries character and style, and clearly separate the fixed details from the new action.
Keep the supplied character, clothing palette, and quiet outdoor setting. The character takes two measured steps forward, looks up, and speaks one short line. Slow push-in; leaves move in a soft breeze; distant birds and light room-tone music.
Primary sources and documentation
Endpoint capabilities, limits, and pricing on this page are tied to these upstream sources.
Hailuo AI Video Editor FAQ
Is Hailuo AI Video Editor a conventional timeline editor?+
No. This workspace generates or transforms a new short video from prompts, frames, and supported references. It is best used for shot creation, animation, and reference-guided video generation rather than frame-by-frame timeline cutting.
Can I use a first and last frame?+
Yes. The image-guided route can use an approved opening frame and an optional ending frame to direct a transition or ending composition.
What are references used for?+
Supported image, video, and audio references guide details that prompt text alone may not preserve, including character appearance, products, movement, voice, style, and atmosphere. Upload only material you own or are authorized to use.
Does this Hailuo route create sound?+
The MiniMax H3 workspace creates synchronized audio with the video. Describe the dialogue, ambience, effects, or music needed in the shot rather than assuming an unrelated soundtrack will be added.
