What not to do

Mistakes that ruin the result

With Hailuo 3

Avoid wide shots with tiny people — emotions will not be visible.
There is no separate negative prompt field

General rules for video

Avoid describing multiple actions in a row in a short clip.
Do not ask for crowds and readable text — they fall apart in motion.
When animating a photo, do not retell what is in it — describe the movement.
Do not change the scene within a 5-second clip.
