Minimax Hailuo 2.3 marks an evolution in the video generation ecosystem: built as the successor to Hailuo 0.2, this release introduces a complete overhaul of motion physics, prompt-following accuracy, and stylistic transformation control.
The result is a system that handles realism, physics, and creativity in one unified model.
Let’s Go Through Its Core Advancements
This version was built around three priorities: accuracy, consistency, and creative range.
1. Enhanced Physics Simulation
The new Hailuo core interprets motion through physically correct depth and inertia mapping. Materials deform and react according to type - fabric folds, hair flow, and particle motion now follow a consistent logic derived from image lighting and spatial geometry.
2. Improved Prompt Interpretation
Language understanding has been upgraded for both precision and flexibility. Prompts now control not only appearance but also motion intensity, lighting transitions, and object transformation paths. The model translates descriptive words like “dissolve,” “ignite,” or “shift into light” into structured physical behavior.
3. Face and Product Consistency
Identity preservation is handled at the embedding level, maintaining facial, material, and brand-object fidelity throughout the entire transformation. This allows for character animation, brand storytelling, and multi-angle continuity with zero drift.
4. Stylistic and Anime Fidelity
Anime creators gain access to line stability and temporal coherence. Color stability and style recognition now persist across frames, making Minimax Hailuo 2.3 capable of true frame-consistent anime scenes.
5. Text consistency
Logos and on-screen typography now remain sharp throughout movement and transformation. This means product packaging, interface text, or animated titles all stay perfectly aligned from the first frame to the last.
6. Dual-Mode Generation
On HiggsfieldAI, there two distinct modes that give creators major flexibility:
Fast 2.3 - optimized for speed and iteration; ideal for concept development.
Standard 2.3 - higher sampling depth and precision; ideal for final production.
7. Flexible Output Options
Duration: 6 or 10 seconds
Resolution: 768p or 1080p
Aspect Ratio: Matches your input image
Input Type: Image & text
There’s More Space to Experiment
Here’s a detailed approach to what’s changed between Hailuo 0.2 and Hailuo 2.3 on Higgsfield, and how it opens up new ways to create.
Here you can use 70+ professionally-made presets integrated with the new model right now. Create with better Hailuo 2.3 using Camera Control, UGC, Action Movement, Commercial, Viral, Emotion, and Effects categories from the dedicated library.
1. Camera Control Presets Are Now at Their Peak
Camera Control presets are the foundation of cinematic storytelling on Higgsfield. They define professional-style motion: dolly-ins, pans, zooms, tilts, and smooth rotations. Every move now follows correct parallax and focus rhythm, making videos look naturally shot, not AI-assembled.
Use for:
Product reveals
Narrative intros
Cinematic character moments
Brand hero shots
Why it works: Camera control brings structure and direction. It gives your clip a cinematic feel and adds depth even to short sequences.
2. Transformations Are More Impressive and Realistic
Transformations are what Minimax is best known for - and in 2.3, they’ve reached a new level. The system now tracks every pixel’s light and texture while morphing, creating a smooth visual path from one form to another.
That means:
Human → creature transitions look cinematic, not glitchy
Products can morph into liquids or particles that move with logic
Lighting and reflections adapt correctly through each stage
Transformations now feel real because they’re driven by physics, not just animation.
3. Action Movement Is More Precise Than Ever
Action Movement presets have become faster, sharper, and more physically accurate. They no longer rely on artificial tweening - every move is built from real momentum logic. The camera reacts to weight, distance, and velocity just like it would in a real production.
Use for:
Dynamic transformations
Fast sequences
Anime-style motion
Why it works: The model now reads motion tension correctly. It builds speed, slows down naturally, and blends transitions without breaking rhythm. The result feels directed, not generated.
More About Presets in the Higgsfield Ecosystem
Presets in Higgsfield aren’t filters - they’re motion blueprints. Each one defines how the camera moves, how light reacts, and how emotion is communicated visually. Unlike random motion generators, these presets are designed to tell a story.
In Hailuo 2.3, every motion type - emotional, commercial, or action - now aligns with the same physics and lighting logic. That’s why videos made with Hailuo 2.3 look so polished: all systems speak the same creative language.
And because presets react to your prompt and image, the same preset can create different moods or tones each time, depending on what you feed it.
How to Use Minimax Hailuo 2.3 to Reach Its Full Potential
Each generation follows the same structure:
Open Minimax on Higgsfield Go to the Video Generation section and choose Minimax 2.3.
Upload an Image Start from an image - Hailuo then builds motion based on its light, geometry, and textures. Works best with:
Portraits or characters
Product photos
Illustrations or anime frames
Add a Prompt (Optional) Describe what happens. Keep prompts simple and visual. Examples:
“Human transforming into werewolf under moonlight.”
“Perfume bottle melting into gold.”
“Anime girl turning into a light spirit.”
Select a Preset Choose from 70+ presets - Camera, UGC, Action, Emotional, or Commercial. Each changes how your story feels.
Choose Quality Mode
Fast 2.3 for high speed experiments.
Standard 2.3 for final exports.
Set Duration and Resolution
Duration: 6 or 10 seconds
Resolution: 768p or 1080p
Aspect ratio: same as input
Generate Hit Generate Video. Minimax 2.3 creates your clip in real time.
What You Can Create
Human or Character Transformations - from fantasy to stylized identities.
Product-to-Concept Transitions - turn static objects into abstract visuals or branding moments.
