Tencent's third-gen AI video model — cinematic 10-second clips from text or images, with motion control and multi-shot sequences.
Hunyuan Video 3 is Tencent's most capable AI video generator to date, released in mid-2026 as a competitor to Sora 4, Kling 3, and Veo 6. It produces 10-second 1080p clips from text prompts or reference images, with improved motion coherence, better human faces (fewer morphing artifacts), and a new multi-shot mode that lets you chain scenes into a 30-second narrative.
Who it's for: Content creators, social media managers, and marketers who need short video clips without hiring a videographer. Especially strong for stylized/cinematic looks and Asian-language prompts.
Generate 1080p video clips up to 10 seconds long. The extended duration (up from 5s in v2) makes it suitable for social media shorts, ads, and B-roll.
Upload a reference image and animate it. Great for bringing product photos, illustrations, or AI-generated stills to life with controlled camera motion.
Chain 3 clips into a 30-second sequence with consistent characters and scene transitions. Describe a storyboard and Hunyuan generates each shot, then stitches them together.
Specify camera movements: pan, zoom, orbit, dolly. Control the speed and direction of motion for cinematic results without manual keyframing.
Hunyuan excels with Chinese, Japanese, and Korean prompts. Better cultural context understanding than Western models — ideal for Asian market content.
