Minimax
Hailuo 02 by Minimax is the workhorse for video ad production — reliably generating clean, well-composed product commercials with consistent color accuracy. Where Sora 2 excels at physics and Kling 3.0 at people, Hailuo 02 excels at commercial polish: product reveals, beauty shots, and food content with the kind of clean, controlled composition that clients expect from ad agencies. Its Standard and Pro tiers let you iterate cheaply and deliver expensively.
Hailuo 02 Standard generates faster and costs less — use it to test 3-4 prompt variations and find the right composition, lighting, and pacing before upgrading. This "draft in Standard, finalize in Pro" workflow saves significant credits on iterative ad production.
Hailuo 02's sweet spot is controlled product presentation. Describe the product action, lighting setup, and commercial style explicitly: "A hand reaches for a luxury perfume bottle on a marble vanity, picks it up elegantly, sprays once — mist catches golden backlight. Macro detail on the label. Beauty commercial style." The more "commercial-like" your prompt reads, the better the result.
Upload your actual product photo and connect it to Hailuo 02. The model animates the scene while preserving your product's exact appearance — color, logo placement, and proportions. This is essential for brand advertising where the product must look exactly right, not approximately right.
Pro tier produces noticeably smoother motion and more consistent frame-to-frame quality. The difference is most visible in slow product rotations and liquid pours where any jitter is conspicuous. For client-facing deliverables, always use Pro.
Beauty commercial — Hailuo 02 handles product interaction (hand + bottle + spray) with clean, controlled motion. The "macro detail on label" cue triggers close-up focus that makes the product the star.

Food commercial — Hailuo 02's color consistency is a major advantage for food content: the tomatoes stay red, the basil stays green, the olive oil stays golden throughout the clip. Other models sometimes shift color temperature mid-generation.

Hailuo 02's strongest differentiator is color consistency. Use it when the product's exact colors matter (brand guidelines, food photography, cosmetics) — it maintains white balance and color accuracy better than other models.
For product rotation shots (turntable-style 360° reveals), Hailuo 02 Pro produces the cleanest, most artifact-free results.
Produce multiple ad variants from slight prompt modifications: change the background color, lighting style, or product angle while keeping the core prompt the same. Hailuo 02's consistent rendering makes variant production reliable.
Standard tier is 2-3× cheaper than Pro. Use Standard for all iterations and drafts — switch to Pro only for the final 1-2 deliverable clips.
Hailuo 02 is the most reliable video model for commercial product content. Its color consistency, clean composition, and controlled motion make it ideal for ad production workflows where you need multiple variants that all meet brand guidelines. Pro tier quality rivals Sora 2 and Kling 3.0. Its weakness is human subjects — for ads featuring people, Kling 3.0 Pro is superior. For pure product shots, food content, and beauty commercials, Hailuo 02 Pro is often the best choice.

Sora 2 is OpenAI's video model, and its standout strength is physics simulation — liquids pour realistically, fabrics drape naturally, and objects interact with believable weight and momentum. For video ads, this means product shots look physically convincing without the uncanny "AI float" that plagues other models. On Martini, Sora 2 costs 100 credits for a 10-second clip or 150 credits for 15 seconds, with only two aspect ratios: 16:9 (landscape) and 9:16 (portrait). There are no quality tiers, speed options, or other knobs to tune — Sora 2 is a zero-config model where all your creative energy goes into the prompt and reference image.

Kling 3.0 is the best video model for ads featuring people. It generates the most natural human motion, facial expressions, and lip movement of any model on Martini. With Standard and Pro quality tiers, it scales from quick storyboarding to final ad-quality output. If your video ad shows a person — drinking coffee, unboxing a product, giving a testimonial — Kling 3.0 Pro should be your first choice.
View guideGoogle's Veo 3 is the only video model on Martini that generates synchronized audio alongside video. Every other model produces silent video that requires separate audio work. For ads, this is transformative — you get ambient sound, sound effects, and even music in a single generation step. The latest version (Veo 3.1) offers Standard and Fast tiers with support for reference images.
