A curated library of prompts for MiniMax's Hailuo 2.3, organized around its signature strength: believable physical motion at a volume-friendly cost. Copy any prompt, adapt the details, and run it in VideoGen.
Physics is Hailuo 2.3's calling card: weight, momentum, splashes, and fabric that behave believably. Describe the physical event precisely and let the model animate it.
A wine glass tips off a marble counter in extreme slow motion, wine forming a spiraling ribbon mid-air, shards beginning to scatter on first contact, kitchen window backlight
Liquids and shatter physics are the classic stress test. Describe each phase you expect to see (ribbon, first contact).
A heavy velvet stage curtain drops and billows outward as it hits the floor, dust blooming in a spotlight beam, slow settling folds
Heavy fabric reads believable when you name its weight and what happens after impact ('slow settling folds').
A mountain biker compresses into a berm and launches off a dirt jump, suspension visibly compressing and rebounding, dust trailing the rear wheel, golden hour backlight
Mechanical detail ('suspension compressing and rebounding') anchors the physics better than speed adjectives.
Ocean wave curling and collapsing onto tide pools in slow motion, foam threading through channels between rocks, droplets catching low sun
Water finding paths ('foam threading through channels') showcases fluid simulation without needing a subject.
Hailuo 2.3 leads its price class on natural human movement. Give the body one clear physical task and describe how weight shifts through it.
A ballet dancer rehearses a slow développé at the barre in an empty studio, weight shifting visibly through standing leg and hip, late afternoon light across the floor
Naming where the weight lives ('through standing leg and hip') produces grounded, believable human motion.
A potter centers clay on a spinning wheel, forearms tensing as the mound trues up, slip running over knuckles, close framing on hands and wheel
Craft processes give hands a real task; muscle tension cues ('forearms tensing') prevent floaty motion.
A boxer works a heavy bag in a dim gym, bag deforming and swinging with each hit, sweat flicking off on the third punch, single overhead lamp
Impact deformation ('bag deforming and swinging') sells force. Count the beats to shape the rhythm.
Vertical 9:16 clip: a barista pours latte art in one continuous motion, milk ribbon folding into a rosetta, cup slowly rotating in her other hand, cafe window light
One continuous pour is a single-take task that vertical framing keeps intimate. Mention 9:16 directly.
Hailuo 2.3's cost per clip makes it the volume engine for testing ad variants. Swap the bracketed product and re-roll hooks freely.
Macro shot of [a soda can] cracking open, condensation droplets shivering off the aluminum, fizz rising in slow motion against a summer-sky backdrop
One satisfying physical action per clip. The condensation shiver is the detail that makes it feel real.
Vertical 9:16 clip: [a lipstick] twists up in extreme close-up as rose petals fall around it in slow motion, soft pink gradient backdrop, glossy reflections sweeping the case
Falling elements around a rotating product is a reliable, endlessly re-skinnable ad formula.
A stack of [protein pancakes] gets a syrup pour that cascades over every layer in slow motion, butter pat sliding, steam curling in morning light
Food clips work when gravity does the storytelling: pours, slides, and steam are the whole plot.
[A trail running shoe] drops onto wet forest ground in slow motion, mud splashing radially, lugs gripping as the foot rolls through a stride, low tracking camera
Product-in-use beats product-on-pedestal for performance gear; the mud splash proves the terrain.
Affordable, believable filler shots for narrated videos: nature, city texture, and workspace scenes that cut cleanly under a voiceover added in the VideoGen editor.
Morning fog lifting off a pine lake, mirror-still water broken by a single fish rise, ripples expanding in slow motion, muted blue-green palette
B-roll needs one small event (the fish rise) so the shot has a beginning and end for clean editing.
Rain-slicked city crosswalk at night from a high window, umbrellas pulsing across in waves with the light changes, neon reflections stretching on wet asphalt
Repeating patterns (crossing waves with each light change) loop naturally under narration.
Close-up of hands typing on a mechanical keyboard beside a steaming mug, screen glow shifting subtly, evening desk lamp warmth, shallow depth of field
Workspace b-roll cuts everywhere. Keep the screen content out of focus so it stays generic and artifact-free.
Time-lapse feel: cumulus clouds building and shearing over golden wheat fields, tractor dust line crawling along the horizon, wind rippling the crop in waves
Say 'time-lapse feel' rather than specifying a frame rate; the model interprets the look, not the math.
Hailuo 2.3 rewards prompts that specify the physical event: what compresses, splashes, deforms, or settles, and in what order. 'Suspension visibly compressing and rebounding' beats 'an epic fast jump' every time.
Clips run up to 10 seconds at 768p or 6 seconds at 1080p, so give each generation one action with a clear beginning and end. Chain multiple clips in the VideoGen editor for longer sequences.
Hailuo 2.3 generates silent video, so leave audio out of the prompt entirely. Add voiceover, music, and sound effects in the VideoGen editor, where the audio tools sit alongside your timeline.
Hailuo's cost per clip makes it ideal for testing many ad hooks or filling b-roll libraries. Iterate freely here, then rerun hero shots on a premium tier if a clip needs 4K polish.
For people, describe where the weight lives and how it shifts: through a standing leg, into a heavy bag, compressing into a berm. Weight language is what separates natural human motion from floaty animation.
