The Complete 2025 Hailuo AI Tutorial: From Static Images to Dynamic Videos
Image to Video Tutorial
1. I2V Basic Prompt Formula
The image used in image-to-video generation appears as the first frame of the video, defining the subject's appearance and the basic aesthetic style of the video. Therefore, compared to text-to-video prompts, image-to-video prompts can appropriately reduce the amount of information.
✅ Basic Prompt Formula = Main Subject in the first frame + Motion/Change
Main Subject in the first frame: The objects in the scene, including key details and environmental information, are precisely recognized by Hailuo AI, which can identify characters, objects, and other visual elements in the image and generate videos based on the prompt requirements.
Motion/ Change: Motion is the description of the main object's moving status in the video, such as stillness, movement; the transformation of the environment and space, and so on.

In the scene, a small dog emits a blue light from its eyes. The messy clothes in front of the dog also begin to glow blue and slowly float into the air, folding neatly on their own before landing in front of the dog. Afterward, the blue light in the dog's eyes fades away.

A blue furry creature in the scene is constantly stirring a steaming pot of soup. Then, the blue creature blows on the pot, causing the soup in the bowl in front of it to freeze into a block of ice.
2. I2V Precise Prompt Formula
Adding camera details and atmosphere information to the basic formula allows for more precise control over the video, resulting in more dynamic or distinctly stylized outputs.
✅ Precise Prompt Formula = Main Subject in the first frame + Motion/Change + Camera Movement + Aesthetic Atmosphere
Camera Movement: Image-to-video generation can also precisely control camera movements. Using the information in the image as a reference in the prompt can lead to more accurate results.
Aesthetic Atmosphere: Although the first frame establishes the visual tone and atmosphere of the video's beginning, Hailuo AI's image-to-video generation can still adjust the visual aesthetics and mood to produce content that better aligns with expectations.

A cat in the scene runs quickly toward the camera, with white electric sparks emanating from its eyes. Its entire body becomes surrounded by electricity as it runs faster and faster. The scenery on both sides rushes backward rapidly, creating motion blur that transforms into a glowing white time tunnel.

The camera pulls back as a man runs toward it. Shadows of figures rapidly close in from behind, growing larger and larger. As one shadow draws near, it reveals a humanoid creature with a goat-like face, its features illuminated by a yellowish light. The color tone of the scene shifts to an eerie palette, creating a chilling and terrifying atmosphere.
