Hailuo updates app templates with KBO close-up and portrait presets

• Hailuo pushed two new app presets, with Hailuo_AI's template update naming a sports-broadcast style clip called "Caught on Cam" and a black-and-white family portrait preset called "The Warmth of the Palm."
• The company is also leaning harder on preset-driven creation, because the Caught on Cam template page and the Warmth of the Palm template page turn the update into clickable starting points rather than blank-canvas prompting, as shown in Hailuo_AI's follow-up links post.
• Creator posts suggest Seedance 2 is already running inside Hailuo, with CharaspowerAI's Seedance clip calling out "Seedance 2 inside #Hailuo" and awesome_visuals' reply thanking Hailuo for "Seedance 2.0."
• Hailuo is also pitching the stack beyond hobby demos, because Hailuo_AI's Bio-E brand-film post says the ad's background effects were generated with Hailuo, while DrSadek_'s v2.10.0 post says the app update adds one-tap tools like Outfit Swap and Motion Control.

You can jump straight to Caught on Cam and The Warmth of the Palm, watch CharaspowerAI's giant lion test for the Seedance side, and compare that with Hailuo_AI's Bio-E brand film, which uses AI-generated background effects in a live-action ad. DrSadek_'s v2.10.0 experiment rounds out the picture with a creator test built using Hailuo's agent plus heavy editing.

Hailuo's clearest product move in this batch is a template-first one. In Hailuo_AI's template update, the company describes "Caught on Cam" as a way to instantly generate a realistic KBO broadcast close-up clip.

That matters because the output format is already decided for you: sports TV framing, tight close-up, fast payoff. The linked Caught on Cam template page turns the feature into a preset workflow, not a prompt-engineering exercise.

The second preset goes the other direction. Hailuo_AI's Warmth of the Palm link post points to a template for parent-child black-and-white portraits, and the main template update frames it as a portrait generator rather than a video effect.

Taken together, the two presets show Hailuo packaging opposite ends of the creative spectrum in the same app update:

• sports-broadcast realism, via Caught on Cam
• sentimental portrait styling, via The Warmth of the Palm
• one-click entry points, via dedicated template pages

That is a useful tell about where the app is heading. Hailuo is not only selling raw generation quality, it is selling ready-made formats.

The more advanced motion work is showing up through Seedance. CharaspowerAI's prompt-share post says "So good to have Seedance 2 inside #Hailuo" and pairs that claim with a 15-second giant-lion destruction shot built from a long cinematic prompt.

A separate creator post backs up the same rollout vibe. awesome_visuals' video post drops a Seedance-made clip, and awesome_visuals' reply explicitly thanks Hailuo for "Seedance 2.0."

The split is pretty clear in the evidence: templates handle fast, narrow use cases, while Seedance is the layer creators are reaching for when they want longer camera language, continuity, and spectacle. Even Hailuo_AI's repost of aiartchino sells Seedance around cinematic animation, consistent lighting, and seamless continuity.

Hailuo is also using the moment to show higher-end production examples. In Hailuo_AI's Bio-E post, the company says a new brand film for Bio-E used Hailuo-generated background special effects around live-action footage.

The creator-side version of that pitch shows up in DrSadek_'s v2.10.0 test, which says the app update adds "Outfit Swap, Motion Control & more" and that the posted clip was made with Hailuo's agent plus heavy editing.

Between the brand-film example and the agent-assisted test, Hailuo's update week was not just about adding two templates. It also showed the company trying to cover three layers at once: preset outputs, Seedance-driven motion, and edited workflows that mix AI generation into a broader production pipeline.
