Questions & Answers

Q: How do you use Hailuo AI Director Mode for videos?

Log in or sign up for free, open the Video tab, and click Create. Under Text to Video, select the TTV Director model, enter a prompt, choose or insert camera movements at the desired points, and then click Generate.

Q: What camera movements are available in Hailuo Director Mode?

Preset choices include left and right circling, upward and downward tilt, left and right walking, stage left, stage right, and scenic shot. Free Selection adds truck left or right, pan left or right, push in, pull out, zoom in or out, tilt up or down, pedestal up or down, shake, tracking shot, and static shot.

Q: How many camera movements can you combine in one Hailuo video?

Free Selection lets you combine a maximum of three camera movements in one video generation. The demonstration inserts tilt down near the beginning and zoom in later in the prompt.

Q: What is the difference between truck and pan camera movements?

Truck moves or slides the camera horizontally to the left or right. Pan keeps the camera in the same position while turning it left or right.

Q: How are push in and pull out different from zooming?

Push in moves the entire camera inward, while pull out moves the entire camera outward. Zoom in and zoom out change the lens view while the camera itself remains still.

Q: Does Hailuo Director Mode follow camera instructions better than the regular model?

In the demonstrated medic scene, Director mode tilted down and then zoomed in as requested. The regular text-to-video model instead appeared to tilt slightly upward at the start and only zoomed in slightly, so the Director result followed the specified movements more closely.

Q: Is Hailuo Director Mode available for image-to-video generation?

The Director model is currently available under the Text to Video tab. The existing page information states that it is not currently available for image-to-video generation.

Q: How does Hailuo Director Mode compare with Cing’s camera controls?

The comparison says Cing offers several camera-movement controls for text-to-video. However, those controls are unavailable with Cing 1.5 and 1.6 and are limited to the older Cing 1.0 model, while Hailuo’s Director mode provides direct movement selection and combinations.
