Is the Hailuo MiniMax AI video model available in FXI Studio?

By FXI Studio

Published September 16, 2026 · Updated October 7, 2026

The short answer

Hailuo 2.3 is not available in FXI Studio. The MiniMax video models you can use today are MiniMax H3 Turbo, a fast, low-cost model for blocking an idea, and Minimax H3 Max, a higher-fidelity model for the final take once the preview is right. Pick either per shot from the composer.

Hailuo 2.3 is not available in FXI Studio

Hailuo 2.3 is not offered in the FXI Studio composer, so it cannot be selected for a shot. The closest working option is the current MiniMax family: MiniMax H3 Turbo and Minimax H3 Max.

Both have text-to-video and image-to-video versions in the composer, so a shot planned around a prompt or an approved first frame moves across without changing the workflow.

When to use MiniMax H3 Turbo vs Minimax H3 Max

MiniMax H3 Turbo is the quick, low-cost preview. Use it to block an idea, test a camera move, or check timing before spending credits on a final take.

Minimax H3 Max is the higher-fidelity pass. Once the preview reads right, rerun the shot on it for the take you keep. Its image-to-video version also accepts an optional last frame, so you can pin where the shot ends.
