Product video works when the product looks exactly like the real thing and moves just enough to feel premium. Hailuo 2.3 is a physics-leading 2026 model that renders text and logos cleanly and handles product motion well, so it is a strong fit for hero shots, ads, and packshot animation. Whenever a real item exists, use Image-to-Video: upload a clean still and Hailuo follows its aspect ratio while keeping the label and shape locked.
Every prompt below follows the Hailuo formula: [camera move] + shot size + product + action + setting + lighting, kept to about 40–60 words. Director moves go in square brackets at the very start — up to three, in order. Keep them singular and slow for product work. For deeper technique, start with the full best Hailuo prompts roundup and the guide to realistic Hailuo video.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hailuo 2.3 add audio to the video?
No. Hailuo 2.3 generates silent video only. Add music, voiceover, and any spoken lines in your editor after export. Plan your ad spots so the visuals carry the beat and the audio is layered on afterward.
Can I animate a product photo I already have?
Yes. Use Image-to-Video and upload a clean packshot. Hailuo follows the source aspect ratio and keeps the label, logo, and shape accurate while it animates the scene. Add a short motion prompt describing only what should move.
What aspect ratio is best for ads?
Use 9:16 for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts ad spots, and 16:9 for landing-page hero video or YouTube. Text-to-Video defaults to 16:9 and also supports 9:16 and 1:1. Image-to-Video follows your source image aspect.
How do I keep my logo or label crisp?
Start from a real product still with Image-to-Video and keep camera moves small — one slow [Push in] or [Truck left] rather than fast pans. Hailuo 2.3 renders text and logos well, but slow, singular motion protects fine detail best.
Should I use 6s or 10s?
Use 6s for single hero beats and snappy ad cuts, and 10s for reveals or lifestyle moments that need room to breathe. Note that 1080p is capped at 6s, so choose 768p if you need the full 10 seconds.
How do I avoid distortion and warping?
Keep the prompt concise, describe one clear action, and use at most one or two bracket camera moves. Fast or stacked moves cause drift and warping. For products, image-to-video plus a slow move gives the most stable, distortion-free result.
