Get Straight Answers on Hailuo 3 Before You Render

You get the honest version here — what Hailuo 3 costs per second, how first and last frame control works, and what counts as a reference clip.

What is Hailuo 3?

Hailuo 3 is MiniMax's video model — also called MiniMax H3 or Hailuo 03. It reads text, images, video, and audio together and renders a 2K clip with native synced sound in one pass. On Seadanse you run it through three modes: text to video, image to video, and reference to video. Image to video adds first and last frame control, and reference to video takes up to nine image, three video, and three audio references.

Is Hailuo 3 free to use on Seadanse?

Sign-up is free and needs no credit card. You get 120 one-time starter credits as a head start. Hailuo 3 bills 32 credits per second at 2K, so the shortest 4-second clip costs 128 credits. Top up with a credit pack or subscription, and every render after that draws on your balance.

How much does a Hailuo 3 video cost?

Every render bills 32 credits per second at a flat 2K rate — there's no resolution tier to pick. A 4-second clip costs 128 credits, a 10-second clip costs 320, and a full 15-second render costs 480. The estimate shows beside Generate before you submit, so the charge never surprises you.

How is Hailuo 3 different from Seedance 2.0?

They're different models from different labs. Hailuo 3 (MiniMax H3) always generates native synced audio with the picture. It also takes omni-reference groups of up to nine images, three video clips, and three audio clips in one render. Seedance 2.0 renders up to 1080p with a toggleable audio switch and a single reference image. Pick Hailuo 3 when the sound and the reference mix matter most; pick Seedance 2.0 when you want a higher resolution ladder.

What resolution, duration, and aspect ratios does Hailuo 3 support?

Every render outputs at 2K — there's no lower tier. Clips run 4 to 15 seconds, in one-second steps. Text-to-video and image-to-video offer six aspect ratios — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, and 21:9. Reference-to-video adds an adaptive option that follows your uploaded references instead.

How do I control the start and end of a Hailuo 3 image-to-video render?

Upload a first frame, a last frame, or both, and describe the motion between them. One image alone still works — Hailuo 3 treats it as your starting frame and animates from there. Adding both frames gives you tighter control over exactly how the clip opens and closes.

What can I use as a reference in Hailuo 3's reference-to-video mode?

Attach up to nine images, three video clips, and three audio clips in one generation — twelve files total. Hailuo 3 reads them together for character look, motion, camera, and voice cues. Audio references need an image or video attached alongside them; audio alone isn't accepted.

Does Hailuo 3 generate audio automatically?

Yes. Every Hailuo 3 render produces synced stereo audio in the same pass as the picture — dialogue, effects, and ambience included. There's no separate audio step and no on/off switch; sound comes with every clip you generate.

Does Hailuo 3 add a watermark to my videos?

No. Every render downloads without a watermark, including clips paid for with your starter credits, and commercial use is included per plan terms.

What happens if my Hailuo 3 render fails?

The credits come back automatically, so you never pay for a failed job. Renders also keep running if you close the tab, and your history keeps every finished clip for replay, download, or regeneration.
