Camera Control Commands (Hailuo 2.3 Fast)
Hailuo 2.3 Fast uses square bracket syntax for camera direction. Place these commands at the start of your prompt before describing the scene content. Each command maps to a specific camera movement. You can combine up to 3 camera directives per prompt.
[Truck] Camera moves horizontally left or right while maintaining its distance from the subject. Reveals elements on the sides of the frame while keeping the focal distance constant.
[Pan] Camera rotates horizontally around a fixed position. The view sweeps left or right from the camera's stationary point. Good for revealing off-screen elements.
[Push/Pull] Camera moves forward (push) or backward (pull) toward or away from the subject. Creates depth and changes perspective as the camera approaches or retreats.
[Pedestal] Camera moves vertically up or down while maintaining its distance from the subject. Reveals vertical elements above or below without tilting the camera.
[Tilt] Camera angles upward or downward while position remains fixed. Creates a sense of scale on tall structures, skies, or ground-level details from above.
[Zoom] Optical zoom effect without camera movement. Tightens or widens the frame around the subject. The perspective does not change, only the framing magnification.
[Shake] Camera vibration or tremor effect. Adds urgency, tension, or handheld realism. Works best for action sequences or cinematic emphasis.
[Tracking] Camera follows a subject as it moves through the scene. The camera maintains a consistent distance while moving along with the subject.
[Static] Camera remains completely stationary. No movement occurs. Use for establishing shots or scenes where camera motion would be distracting.
Note: Combine up to 3 camera directives per prompt using square brackets. Example: [Truck left, Pan right, Zoom in]. Combining more than 3 directives often produces conflicting motion.

Use Cases
- 01
Product Showcase Videos
Use [Truck] with a product image to create side-view shots that highlight product details. Combine with [Zoom] to simulate close-up examinations. The bracket system gives precise control over camera trajectory beyond what most text-to-video models offer.
- 02
Real Estate & Architecture Walkthroughs
Start with an exterior image and use [Push/Pull] to create a virtual approach. Interior shots benefit from [Pan] to simulate room scanning. Use [Pedestal] to reveal vertical elements. Note that Hailuo cannot generate true walkthrough sequences — each clip is a single camera movement.
- 03
Social Media Short-Form Content
Camera-controlled clips add production value to short videos. The bracket commands make it possible to create cinematic-looking content from static images, which is useful for creators who lack video footage but have strong still photography or product shots.
- 04
Concept Visualization & Storyboarding
Architects, game designers, and concept artists can upload reference images and use camera commands to simulate how a scene would look from different perspectives. This provides a fast approximation for early-stage exploration without requiring 3D rendering.
