MiniMax Hailuo beside Kling AI, point by point
The docs of MiniMax Hailuo and Kling AI part on 3 of the six camera points: camera moves, framing and cuts. They read alike on frames, negative prompt and motion amount. As of 2026-09-25.
| Field | MiniMax Hailuo | Kling AI |
|---|---|---|
| How a camera move is asked for | Commands or presets | Words in the prompt |
| Shot sizes and angles in the docs | None in the docs | Shown in examples |
| Cuts inside one generation | None in the docs | Several shots per clip |
| Start and end frames | First and last frame | First and last frame |
| A negative prompt | None in the docs | None in the docs |
| A setting for how much the picture moves | None in the docs | None in the docs |
Inclusion rule. The six points every model on the register is read on. Order. The order the points take on every model page.
1How the two differ
MiniMax Hailuo reads “Commands or presets” on camera moves, while Kling AI reads “Words in the prompt” on camera moves. MiniMax Hailuo's docs say nothing about cuts inside a clip, while Kling AI reads “Several shots per clip” on cuts inside a clip. MiniMax Hailuo's docs use 9 of the site's camera words and Kling AI's use 10, sharing pan, tilt and zoom.
2The differing points, in the docs' words
How a camera move is asked for
Supported 15 camera commands

3MiniMax Hailuo, Kling AI and a third set of camera docs
| Camera point | SceneMixer | Source |
|---|---|---|
| How a camera move is asked for | Camera moves are written into each shot's text: fixed, handheld, tracking or a slow push in | SceneMixer, how to write one shot |
| Shot sizes and angles in the docs | Each numbered shot in a segment carries a framing change, written by the storyboard step | SceneMixer, AI storyboard generator page |
| Cuts inside one generation | A segment holds several numbered shots and its length is the sum of them | SceneMixer, AI storyboard generator page |
Inclusion rule. Points where the two models above differ and SceneMixer's guides say something; points its guides leave open are not shown. Order. The order the points take on every model page.
