What Hailuo 3 Max is for
Max is the engine for animating stills on a Hobby budget. Give it a first and a last frame and it moves between them — a product turning to face the camera, a character crossing a room, a sky going from dusk to night — in any of six formats, cinematic 21:9 included.
It is also a quick way to find a Hailuo shot: block the camera move and the timing here, then render the keeper on Hailuo 3 at 2K, with sound and your cast.
How to prompt it
- →With frames, describe only the motion between them — the frames already fix the subject, the wardrobe and the set.
- →Without frames, your cast and elements ride as text: describe people concretely, the way they should look.
- →Name the camera move — crane up, whip pan, slow dolly — or pick one of the director's rack's 24 moves.
- →Max renders picture only, so plan the sound elsewhere: a voice-over, music in the edit, or an engine with a soundtrack.
- →There is no seed: batch up to 4 takes and keep the best.
Where it sits in the lineup
Hailuo 3, on Creator, is the full model: 2K, sound, three subject references and a voice sample. On the Hobby plan, pick Max for Hailuo motion between two frames, and Kling 3.0 or Seedance 2.0 Fast when your cast's pictures or sound matter.

Pick one: it goes into the box at the top, ready to generate.
Frequently asked questions
Does Hailuo 3 Max have sound?
No — Max renders picture only. For Hailuo with sound, use Hailuo 3 on the Creator plan; on Hobby, Veo 3.1 Fast, Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 Fast render sound.
How much does a Hailuo 3 Max clip cost?
34 credits / second at 768p: 170 credits for 5 seconds, 340 credits for 10 and 510 credits for 15. 480p costs less per second.
Hailuo 3 Max or Hailuo 3?
Max is the fast tier: 480p or 768p, no reference pictures and no soundtrack, from Hobby. Hailuo 3 renders 2K with sound, three subject references and a voice sample, from Creator. Both take first and last frames and run 5 to 15 seconds.
Can I use my cast with Hailuo 3 Max?
Yes, as text: Max reads no reference pictures, so your cast's descriptions are written into the prompt. For an exact face, start the clip from a frame of that character.
Is Hailuo 3 Max uncensored?
No. Hailuo is moderated upstream by its provider; a prompt it refuses returns content_blocked and costs nothing. Motion One, eroq's own engine, is the uncensored one — and it retains nothing upstream.
