Keep an approved original-family pipeline when you need to reproduce older character clips or compare a replacement against a known baseline. The family has separate text-to-video, image-to-video and customization releases; pin the checkpoint, encoders and settings that produced the clip. A shared name is a poor reason to swap their files. For a new project, compare it with HunyuanVideo 1.5 before committing to the older setup. Its videos still need loop editing, playback checks and game integration. The original community license also limits where you may use and distribute the results.
Commercial use & license
The original Tencent community license excludes the EU, UK and South Korea, including use, distribution and display of outputs. It also requires conspicuous AI disclosure for content placed in public contexts. Check the selected checkpoint’s terms, attribution obligations and commercial conditions before release; they are not Apache terms.
Adult content rules
The original AUP requires compliance with laws and regional moral standards; it does not expressly approve sexual content. Check the selected checkpoint’s AUP and input rights before adult-game use. Local execution does not remove those conditions.
What you need
Original 13B text-to-video: NVIDIA GPU with CUDA; Linux is the tested OS. The documented 129-frame settings require 45GB at 544×960 or 60GB at 720×1280, with 80GB recommended. FP8/offload and separate image-to-video/customization releases have their own setups. Keep the checkpoint, VAE and text encoders matched.
