# MiniMax (Hailuo) - AI video generation

> Generate high-quality video from text, images, and subject references using MiniMax's T2V-01, I2V-01, and S2V-01 models in ComfyUI

MiniMax (Hailuo) is a leading AI video generation platform renowned for exceptional motion quality and cinematic output, now inside ComfyUI. It offers two model lines — **MiniMax-01** (T2V-01 text-to-video and I2V-01 image-to-video with Director/Live modes) and **MiniMax S2V-01** (subject reference-to-video) — covering everything from film-grade narrative to character-driven content.

## Key capabilities

* **T2V-01 with Director mode** — 15 cinematic camera movement types (pan, tilt, dolly, crane, tracking, aerial, handheld, roll, zoom-in, zoom-out, push-in, pull-out, orbit, first-person, static) for precise shot-level direction
* **I2V-01-Director** — Apply cinematic camera controls to image-initiated videos, combining the visual foundation of a starting image with the expressive language of Director mode
* **I2V-01-Live** — Generate natural, lively motion from a single image with organic movement dynamics — ideal for bringing portraits, landscapes, and product shots to life
* **S2V-01 subject reference** — Maintain character, face, or object identity across the generated video using a single reference image; perfect for serial content
* **High motion quality** — Industry-leading realism in character movement, physics, and fluid dynamics across all model variants

> Workflows in this guide can be found in the [Workflow Templates](https://docs.comfy.org/interface/features/template.md).
> If you can't find them in the template, your ComfyUI may be outdated.
>
> If nodes are missing when loading a workflow, possible reasons:
>
> 1. You are not using the latest ComfyUI version (Nightly version)
> 2. Some nodes failed to import at startup
>
> **Cloud users**
>
> * [Cloud](https://cloud.comfy.org) will update after ComfyUI stable release.
>
> So, if you find any core node missing in this document, it might be because the new core nodes have not yet been released in the latest stable version. Please wait for the next stable release.
