What Hailuo H3 Text-to-Video is good at
Video models are billed per second or per clip: turn a description or a picture into a clip a few seconds long.
Text to 2K video with sound and natural, realistic motion. 4–15 seconds, six aspect ratios. Draft at 768P first, then upgrade the clip you like to 2K.
Good for
- Short video ads and product showcases
- Bringing a still image to life
- Short clips for social media
Less suited for
- Videos several minutes long: generate in parts and edit together
- Articles or code: use a chat model
