For this setting, start with at least 16 GB of memory.
Same setting, all measured memory sizes. Chip results can include different GPU configurations. These are speed comparisons, not price or value rankings.

How we measure
Successful renders from anonymous Phosphene usage counts, Aug 10, 2026 to Nov 4, 2026. Model loading is included; time waiting in the queue is not. These are estimates from real use, not guarantees.
Every published time has at least 5 renders from 3 Macs. “Small sample” means fewer than 30 renders or 5 Macs.
Read the measurement details
- Source
- Anonymous usage counts are on by default and can be turned off in Settings. Mr Bizarro’s Macs and test rigs are excluded. Data collection began on August 9, 2026.
- Typical time and range
- Typical time is the midpoint of the measured times (the median). The range covers the middle half of renders, not every render. The app reports coarse time steps from 15 seconds to 90 minutes. Times are estimated within each step, then rounded to 5 seconds below 5 minutes, 10 seconds below 20 minutes and 30 seconds after that.
- Which renders count
- Each install’s first render on each engine is dropped because it can include downloads and warm-up. Busy installs are down-weighted to at most 25 renders per setting, chip and memory group. Only successful renders count; these results do not measure failure rates.
- Matching video settings
- Videos match the model, quality setting, clip length and canvas size. Hailuo H3 also separates Fast and Best. Prompt content, including dialogue, is not a separate group. Upscale ×2, Long Clip Boost and the LTX Fast schedule are excluded.
- Images and songs
- Image times cover a whole batch of 1–8 images; image size is not reported. Song times cover one song; song length is not reported. Neither can be converted into a reliable per-image or per-minute estimate.
- Memory and comparison
- The picker uses a published result for your exact memory size when available. Otherwise it labels an estimate from the same chip across memory sizes. Memory requirements follow the site’s compatibility guide; a published result at your exact memory size takes precedence. Chip comparisons pool memory sizes and do not control for GPU configuration, cooling or other work running on the Mac.
- Privacy
- Only aggregate results are published. No install IDs, countries, cities, per-person timestamps or prompts.

Quality settings
Quick, Draft, Balanced, Standard and High are the app’s quality presets. They change the work needed for a render. Compare the same preset and picture size across Macs.
Fast and Best
These are Hailuo H3’s speed settings. Fast uses fewer generation steps; Best spends longer refining the result. Keep this setting the same when comparing times.
Picture size
A label such as 576p describes the picture’s resolution in pixels, not the clip’s length. A width × height label gives both pixel dimensions. Larger pictures generally take more work.
Native
Native is the name of a Hailuo H3 quality preset. The pixel dimensions beside it tell you the picture size being measured.
