Hailuo (MiniMax)
App : A product you use directly
MiniMax's video generator, strong on expressions and actor direction.
Excellent on characters; same reservation as Kling regarding data localisation.
Security reflects where data goes, requested permissions and incidents on record at the verification date. It is not a guarantee of zero risk: check the deployment mode and the connections you enable.
What it does, concretely
Creating professional-quality videos from text or images usually requires advanced technical skills and expensive software. Hailuo, developed by MiniMax, makes it possible to generate videos directly from a browser, with no installation needed.
The MiniMax H3 model, now live, is built on native multimodal generation: it accepts visual references such as images and character photos, and produces videos with particularly refined facial expressions and actor direction. The Omni Reference feature lets users anchor generation to a specific reference image.
Hailuo is aimed at content creators, marketing teams, and curious users who want to produce short videos without mastering video editing. The platform also offers image creation and a conversational agent.
However, users who require full control over their data or a solution hosted in Europe will find the privacy conditions insufficient, as MiniMax is a China-based company.
