Simple Steps to Use AI Director for Stunning Videos

AI-Powered Directing for Seamless Editing

Using Minimax Hailuo AI is incredibly simple. No traditional editing skills are required—the AI Director acts as your virtual assistant to streamline the entire editing process.

Here’s how to use Minimax Hailuo AI in VideoTube:

Step 1: Upload images or use preset images

Go to the  Image to VideoText to Video, or standalone Camera Movement. You can either upload your own image as raw material (which VideoTube will automatically analyze) or choose from our provided preset images.

Step 1: Upload images or use preset images

Step 2: Input Prompt

For both casual and professional users, we offer two categories of Prompt formulas:

Step 2: Input Prompt
Basic Prompt Formula

Designed for users without explicit shot requirements or those seeking creative inspiration, the Basic Prompt Formula encourages imaginative results through flexible phrasing.

Structure=Primary subject to create + Scene space + Movement/change

Explanation:

  • Primary subject to create: The core element of the video, which can be a person, animal, object, or fictional entity.
  • Scene space: Describes the environment (e.g., a library, café, or fantasy world).
  • Movement/change: Defines the subject’s state (e.g., stationary, dynamic, or environmental transformations).

Minimax Hailuo AI Examples:

  • A small dog running in a park
  • A woman walking with an umbrella on a rainy street
  • A quiet stream flowing through a mountain valley
Precision Prompt Formula

Ideal for users with explicit requirements for camera movements or visual composition who seek professional-grade video outputs, the Precision Prompt Formula ensures accurate and aesthetically refined results through detailed phrasing using Minimax Hailuo AI.

Structure=Primary subject to create + Scene space + Movement/change + Camera movement + Aesthetic atmosphere

Explanation:

  • Camera movement: Defines shot composition using techniques like push, pull, pan, dolly, crane, and tilt to control visual dynamics.
  • Aesthetic atmosphere: Specifies visual styles (e.g., warm, cold, realistic) and emotional tones to align with creative intent.

Minimax Hailuo AI Examples:

  • A couple sitting on a park bench talking, with the camera remaining stationary to film them in warm, cozy lighting.
  • A lamb grazing in a meadow, captured with a slow camera push and natural, realistic coloring.
  • A suited man solemnly eating noodles in a noisy restaurant, filmed with a gradual camera pull to reveal the bustling environment in natural tones.

Natural Language Input for Easy Scene Control

Natural Language Specification

One of the most innovative features is natural language input, allowing you to control video scenes using simple text commands. For example, you can type "Add a slow fade transition between these two clips" or "Zoom in on the subject when they start speaking"—the Minimax Hailuo AI will understand and execute your instructions.

The natural language specification is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, enabling even those without prior experience with complex editing software to effortlessly communicate their creative vision to the AI. Additionally, here are key tips:

  • Add precise timing to camera movements for more accurate, dynamic shots:
    • Example: "Camera spins downward" → Refined: "The camera slowly descends first, then orbits to the right during the descent."
  • Include detailed descriptions of frame transitions for more precise, aesthetically pleasing movements:
    • Example: "Shoot a giraffe from bottom to top" → Refined: "The camera starts with a close-up of the giraffe’s feet, slowly rises to capture its body, and finally stops at the face for a close-up of its expression."
  • Keep camera movements within 5-6 seconds to avoid generation failures caused by overly complex sequences.

Principle Summary

Based on extensive testing, VideoTube provides the following key metrics to help you achieve optimal video results when using Minimax Hailuo AI:

  1. Select the T2V-01-Director/I2V-01-Director model
  2. Insert camera movement commands in your text description using [] brackets. The standard format is [C1,C2,C3], where "C" represents camera parameter controls in Minimax Hailuo AI.
  3. Single-shot commands:
    ○ Example: [Pan Left] inserts a single camera movement.
  4. Multi-shot combinations:
    • Simultaneous execution: Commands in the same bracket run concurrently.
      • Example: [Pan Left, Dolly Right] combines two movements.
    • Sequential execution: Commands outside brackets execute in order.
      • Example: "xxx[Pan Left], xxx[Dolly Right]" runs left pan first, then right dolly.
    • Best practice: Limit combinations to ≤3 movements for stability.
  5. Supports 9 parameter controls (see table below).
  6. "Follow" and "Fix" parameters are mutually exclusive with the other 7 controls—avoid mixing them in Minimax Hailuo AI.
  7. Mutual exclusivity applies within parameter categories (e.g., two "speed" settings conflict).
  8. Priority for English: Use English for camera terminology and prompts for optimal results.

A knight stands amidst the ruins, clutching a broken sword and gazing up at the burning sky in the distance. The camera slowly rises from the ground, revealing the desolate landscape around him. It then pulls back, gradually exposing crumbling city walls and an inferno blazing in the distance. Finally, the camera tilts upward, focusing on a colossal shadow of a creature floating in the sky.

The story unfolds in a bustling city where the air is thick with the scent of fresh coffee and the sound of hurried footsteps. A young woman, with a determined look in her eyes, navigates through crowded streets, always keeping her gaze forward. She arrives at a quaint little bookstore hidden away on a side street, its door slightly ajar.

The setting sun cloaks the city in a golden mantle as bustling streets quiet down, leaving only a few streetlights glowing. Couples stroll leisurely through the streets, savoring the rare tranquility. Finally, the scene transitions to a panoramic night view of the city, radiating warmth and serenity. The camera dolly-in from a street corner, revealing urban details frame by frame, then pulls back slightly before freezing on a sweeping cityscape where the crimson horizon merges with the twinkling lights below.

At a quiet mountain cabin, a cozy fire crackles inside, casting a warm glow on the wooden walls. Outside, a snow-covered landscape stretches under a clear night sky with stars twinkling. The scene unfolds to present the peaceful and serene atmosphere around the cabin. The camera begins by moving slowly towards the cabin, then slowly retreats to show the entire snowy landscape, and concludes with a fixed shot.
