Recently, the internet has been abuzz with information about DeepSeek, and I’ve also posted a few articles introducing and using DeepSeek.
Today, let’s talk about a new video AI feature. Hailuo AI has quietly launched a new model, I2V-01-Director, which can precisely control the camera movements. We tried it out and the results were excellent. Let’s watch the official promotional video first.
Currently, it only supports Vincent videos. Let me explain how to use it.
- Go to the official website, select Vincent videos, and select the T2V-01-Director model
- Enter the prompt word, and click the camera icon in the lower right corner to select the camera movement method
- The camera movement methods currently supported are pan left/right, tilt left/right, push in/pull out, rise/fall, pan up/down, zoom push in/zoom pull out, shake, follow, and fixed lens
Creators who are proficient in using the camera can freely combine camera movements in the prompt word to achieve precise camera movement effects.
Clicking on a lens module will insert the lens term with [ ] into the prompt
[left pan] indicates that a single lens will take effect.
[left pan, right shift] indicates that two lens movements will take effect at the same time;
xxx[left pan], xxx[right shift] indicates that the left pan lens will occur first, followed by the right shift lens.
Commonly used lens templates are also provided, such as left circular shift, left follow-through, up, etc.
In addition to selecting the type of shot by clicking, it also supports directly using natural language to describe the camera movement
For example, the camera shakes left and pans up at the same time, starting with a rabbit looking up and to the left, slowly moving towards the sky, and the balloon floating into the sky along the rabbit’s line of sight.
After you have decided on the cue words and the shot, click generate.
Okay, next I will show you some actual tests to demonstrate the effect.

[Pan left, Zoom in] A lone car driving through the desert, the camera tracks left across an endless, arid landscape, zooming in on a solitary car kicking up dust, the heat waves distorting the air around it, ultra-realistic, cinematic
Stage right
[Pan right, Zoom in] A black panther stalking its prey in the jungle, the camera pans right through the dense foliage, zooming in as the sleek, shadowy figure of a black panther emerges from the undergrowth. Its glowing yellow eyes lock onto its unsuspecting prey
Stage right + upward tilt

natural language shot
An intense battlefield scene. The camera circles right around a soldier sprinting through a war-torn field, his face drenched in sweat and dirt, while fiery explosions erupt in the background, sending shockwaves through the ground. Debris flies past the camera, and the distant cries of soldiers blend with the deafening sound of gunfire. A burning tank smolders to the left as the soldier’s breath becomes visible in the cold, misty air. The golden light of a setting sun breaks through the smoky haze, casting long, dramatic shadows.

Hailuo’s shot control is too strong. It would be invincible if it could support TUS video and subject reference.
