Hailuo AI is a video generation tool that offers great customization. Creating personalized AI videos is easy with Hailuo AI’s Subject Reference Model. This feature lets you upload a face photo and generate a character that moves and acts based on your written ideas. It’s perfect for fun projects, storytelling, or making unique social media content.
📸 Step 1: Get Your Face Photo Ready
Before anything else, you need a clear photo of the face you want Hailuo AI to use. This image helps the AI build your video character.
✅ Good Photo Checklist
- Only one person in the photo
- Face should be facing the camera or slightly turned
- Bright, even lighting (no harsh shadows or overexposure)
- No heavy filters, stickers, or blurs
- Minimum size: 120×120 pixels; file size under 20MB
💡 Tip: Think of a passport-style photo—natural, clear, and centered.
🖼️ Step 2: Upload and Set Your Character
- Go to the Hailuo AI website and click “Try Now.”
- Choose the Subject Reference Model.
- Click “Add Reference Character.”
- Upload your face photo.
- Write a short prompt (more on that below).
- Click Create and wait for the magic to happen!
✍️ Step 3: Write a Great Prompt
A prompt tells Hailuo AI what should happen in the video. It’s like giving your character a script and setting.
🪄 Simple Prompt Formula:
Main Character + Scene + Action
Examples:
- A boy dances in a glowing forest.
- A woman in a red coat walks across a snowy street.
- A cat sits on a windowsill as it rains outside.
💡 Keep the story about one main person for the best results.
🎥 Want More Control? Try the Advanced Prompt
You can add extra details to make your video look more professional.
Advanced Prompt = Character + Scene + Action + Camera Style + Mood
Examples:
- A man jogs along a beach at sunset. The camera follows from behind. The sky is orange and peaceful.
- A girl looks out of a bus window at night. The camera zooms in slowly. The atmosphere is moody and quiet.
📐 Helpful Prompt Tips
- Be specific: “A happy girl” is better than just “a girl.”
- Use clear actions: walking, jumping, dancing, looking, etc.
- Add camera moves or feelings if you want a movie-like effect.
💡 Bonus: Using Multiple Characters
You can describe more than one person, but be clear!
Example:
“A young girl (age 10) talks to an old man (age 70) in a quiet park.”
This helps Hailuo AI know who is who.
🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Photo has multiple faces 👉 won’t work
- Face is blurry or blocked 👉 AI can’t detect features
- Prompt is too vague 👉 Result might be random
✅ Final Tip: Mix It with Your Creativity!
Hailuo AI does the tech part, but the best videos come from your imagination. Combine a strong photo with a clear prompt, and you can make videos that feel alive.
Start creating today and turn any face into a character that moves, speaks, or expresses emotions—all powered by Hailuo AI.
