Introducing Vidu Image-to-Video Q1 on WaveSpeedAI

We’re thrilled to announce that Vidu Image-to-Video Q1 is now available on WaveSpeedAI, bringing one of the most sophisticated AI video generation models to our platform. Developed by Shengshu Technology in collaboration with Tsinghua University, Vidu Q1 represents a significant leap forward in transforming static images into dynamic, cinematic video content.

What is Vidu Image-to-Video Q1?

Vidu Q1 is a multimodal AI video generation model that excels at creating smooth, natural video transitions from still images. At its core, the model specializes in the challenging task of frame interpolation—taking your starting image and intelligently generating the motion and intermediate frames needed to produce a cohesive, professional-quality video.

What makes Vidu Q1 particularly impressive is its spatial-temporal coherence technology. The model ensures that characters, objects, and backgrounds remain consistent across every frame, eliminating the jarring inconsistencies that often plague AI-generated video content. This results in output that looks polished and production-ready.

Key Features

High-Resolution Output

Vidu Q1 delivers crisp 1080p video output for clips up to 5 seconds, providing the visual quality needed for professional applications without compromising on clarity or detail.

Intelligent Motion Synthesis

The model uses advanced latent interpolation to intelligently predict what happens between moments in your imagery. Rather than simply morphing between frames, Vidu Q1 generates plausible, physically coherent motion sequences that feel natural and cinematic.

Exceptional Speed

With an average completion time of approximately 15 seconds per video, Vidu Q1 delivers results faster than many competing solutions. This efficiency enables rapid iteration and experimentation without frustrating wait times.

Industry-Leading Consistency

Internal VBench benchmark scores rank Vidu Q1 ahead of competitors including Runway Gen-2 and Luma Dream Machine on metrics for prompt fidelity and frame coherence—critical factors for professional content creation.

Smooth Transitions for Storytelling

The model excels at creating seamless transitions between specified start and end frames, making it ideal for narrative content, scene transitions, and creative storytelling applications where visual continuity is paramount.

Real-World Use Cases

Film and Animation Production

Major studios are already leveraging Vidu Q1 for production work. Notably, Aura Productions announced a 50-episode AI-generated anime series using Vidu Q1, demonstrating the model’s capability to handle large-scale creative projects with consistent character rendering and smooth animation.

Marketing and Advertising

Transform static product images into dynamic showcase videos. E-commerce brands can bring their product photography to life, creating engaging content for social media, websites, and advertising campaigns without the expense of traditional video production.

Presentations and Corporate Communications

Elevate business presentations by converting static slides and infographics into animated sequences. The smooth transitions produced by Vidu Q1 add professional polish that captures audience attention and improves information retention.

Social media creators can rapidly generate eye-catching video content from still images. Whether animating artwork, creating mood pieces, or developing short-form content, Vidu Q1 provides the tools to stand out in crowded feeds.

Storyboarding and Previsualization

Filmmakers and creative directors can use Vidu Q1 for rapid storyboard animation and previsualization, bringing concepts to life early in the production process to align stakeholders and refine creative direction.

Educational Content

Educators can transform static diagrams and illustrations into animated explainers, making complex concepts more accessible and engaging for learners of all ages.
