Discover the Key Features of Hailuo Video 01 Director
Above an ancient battlefield [Pan right, Pedestal down], the frame reveals a close-up of a female warrior. Her face is smeared with dirt, and her eyes radiate determination.
Use Camera Movement Commands
With Hailuo I2V-01-Director and T2V-01-Director, you can define specific camera movements by inserting commands such as "[Pan left]" or combining multiple commands like "[Pan left, Truck right]" to create simultaneous motions. This allows for dynamic control over the camera's motion, making it possible to simulate real-world cinematography techniques. These movements can be layered to achieve complex tracking shots, cinematic zooms, or intricate tilts, enhancing the overall visual impact.

Use Preset Cinematic Shot Templates
Instead of manually inputting individual movements, you can use preset templates in the Hailuo I2V-01-Director and T2V-01-Director to combine multiple camera motions into established cinematic shot styles. For example, the "Debut" shot combines [Truck left, Push in, Pan right] to create a dynamic introduction. By using a preset, you can easily implement complex camera sequences that enhance storytelling and visual impact. This approach saves time and ensures consistency, making it especially useful for commonly used shots in filmmaking.
The camera remains stationary while the shooting angle tilts vertically downward.
Describe Camera Movements in Natural Language
Hailuo I2V-01-Director and T2V-01-Director allows you to describe camera movements in natural language, eliminating the need for command inputs. For example, instead of using "[Truck left, Pan right]," you can simply say, "The camera moves left while panning right to follow the subject." This makes the motion easier to visualize, especially for complex shots. For a dramatic reveal, you could describe it as, "The camera pushes in towards the subject while tilting upward, emphasizing their presence." This approach aligns with traditional storytelling techniques and effectively conveys cinematic intent.
