Hailuo image-to-video: keep the subject stable

2026-08-13 · ~6 min read · Hailuo AI download

How to use references so characters don’t morph between frames.

Image-to-video fails when the still is soft or the prompt fights the composition. Start with a sharp hero still, then describe only the motion.

Confirm the still

Face/product should be clear, cropped intentionally, and free of heavy compression. If identity drifts, lower motion strength and re-attach the reference.

Recommended path

  1. Upload one clean reference.
  2. Prompt motion only: wind, walk cycle, push-in, parallax.
  3. Generate short, compare identity, then extend.

FAQ

1. Face morphs? Reduce motion; keep lighting consistent with the still.

2. Background melts? Simplify camera; lock subject framing.

3. Next step after a good clip? Finish pacing/captions in an editor — see Hailuo vs editors.
