Before / After Transformation Video Prompt for Hailuo (MiniMax)
This is the Hailuo (MiniMax) version of the before / after transformation video prompt: one locked-off shot that carries a subject from its before state to its after state — the change is the whole clip. It is formatted the way Hailuo (MiniMax) takes prompts best. Free — copy it, replace the bracketed parts, and paste it in.
The prompt
Push copies this prompt with a reference line naming your image, and downloads the image file — attach it in the model to complete the pair. This page stages the pair for you; it cannot upload into the model itself (sites cannot reach into each other), so the final attach happens there. The image is downscaled to at most 1024px and stored only in this browser, paired with this prompt. If browser storage is full, it is kept for this visit only.
The deliverable — and how to check it
Deliverable: one 10-second clip from a single locked-off camera position: the before state holds for the first 3 seconds, the transformation plays through the middle, the after state holds for the final 3 seconds, angle and framing identical throughout. Acceptance check: overlay the first and last frames — the frame edges must align exactly; any cut, reframing or light-direction change fails the clip.

Using this prompt with Hailuo (MiniMax)
Hailuo is MiniMax's video line (current flagship the H3 generation). Its signature convention is bracketed camera commands placed inside the shot description where the move happens — [Push in], [Pan left], [Tilt up], [Zoom out], [Static shot] — so this version's note carries the command list and the prose carries the shot. Hailuo's omni-reference mode builds a shot from multiple reference images (up to nine on H3) plus video and audio references, and it generates native stereo audio: describe the sound the shot should carry. Prompts are capped at about 2,000 characters on the 2.3 line — keep the description tight.
What this route costs — and how to pay less
Cost structure: subscription credits in the Hailuo app or metered through MiniMax's API; the H3 generation also ships as open weights (territory exclusions apply to self-hosting), which is a zero-marginal-cost route where licensed. The same prompt is pre-configured in this library for every major model, so you can run it on whichever route fits your budget — comparing the structures before you generate is a free way to save money.
Replace the bracketed placeholders — [SUBJECT], [BEFORE DESCRIPTION], [AFTER DESCRIPTION] — with your own details before pasting.
