Introducing Vidu Start-End to Video on WaveSpeedAI: Create Cinematic Transitions Between Any Two Images

The world of AI-powered video generation continues to evolve at a remarkable pace, and today we’re excited to announce the availability of Vidu Start-End to Video on WaveSpeedAI. This innovative model from Shengshu Technology transforms the way creators approach video transitions, enabling seamless morphing between any two images with just a text prompt.

Whether you’re a filmmaker crafting scene transitions, an animator building storyboards, or a content creator producing engaging social media clips, Vidu Start-End to Video opens up creative possibilities that were previously time-consuming or technically challenging to achieve.

What is Vidu Start-End to Video?

Vidu Start-End to Video is a specialized image-to-video model that generates smooth, cinematic transitions between a starting image and an ending image. Unlike traditional video interpolation tools that simply fade or morph between frames, this AI model intelligently understands the content of both images and creates natural, coherent motion that bridges them together.

The technology is built on Shengshu Technology’s pioneering U-ViT architecture—a Diffusion-Transformer hybrid that predates many competing architectures and enables exceptional temporal coherence. Developed in collaboration with Tsinghua University’s Institute for AI Industry Research, Vidu has quickly established itself as a leading platform in AI video generation, reaching over 30 million users across 200 countries since its launch in 2024.

Key Features

Bi-Frame Guided Generation The model analyzes both your starting and ending frames to create natural motion that maintains subject integrity throughout the transition. This isn’t simple morphing—the AI understands spatial relationships, lighting, and context to generate believable in-between frames.

Temporal Coherence One of the biggest challenges in AI video generation is avoiding flickering, artifacts, and frame-to-frame inconsistencies. Vidu Start-End to Video delivers stable transitions with smooth motion throughout the 5-second output.

Context-Aware Motion Your text prompt does more than describe what happens—it guides the emotional tone and transformation direction. Whether you want a dramatic zoom, a gentle fade, or a dynamic action sequence, the model adapts its generation to match your creative intent.

Cinematic Camera Simulation The model can simulate various camera movements including zoom, pan, and fade effects, matching the style you describe in your prompt. This enables professional-looking results without needing complex editing software.

Flexible Motion Control Choose from four movement amplitude settings:

  • Auto: Let the AI determine the appropriate motion intensity
  • Small: Subtle, gentle motion for static or emotional scenes
  • Medium: Balanced camera and object movement
  • Large: Dynamic, cinematic transitions with stronger visual motion

Real-World Use Cases

Storyboarding and Pre-visualization

Directors and animators can rapidly prototype scene transitions by defining key frames and letting the AI generate the connecting footage. This accelerates the storyboarding process and helps teams visualize narrative flow before committing to full production.

Animation and Illustration

Vidu excels at bringing illustrated and anime-style artwork to life. Artists can create dynamic sequences from their static work, adding motion to characters, environments, and effects without frame-by-frame manual animation.

Scene Linking and Morphing

Create stunning visual transformations—whether it’s changing seasons in a landscape, showing the passage of time, or transitioning between different settings in a story. The AI calculates natural paths between your images, producing results that feel intentional and polished.

Social Media Content

The 5-second output format is perfectly suited for short-form content on platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Create eye-catching transitions and effects that stand out in crowded feeds.

E-commerce and Advertising

Product showcases, before-and-after reveals, and brand animations become straightforward to produce. Marketing teams can generate professional video content without extensive production resources.

Infinite Loops

A creative technique enabled by this model: upload the same image as both your starting and ending frame. The AI will generate motion that returns to its origin point, creating perfectly seamless loops ideal for backgrounds, social posts, and ambient displays.

Getting Started on WaveSpeedAI

Using Vidu Start-End to Video on WaveSpeedAI is straightforward:

  1. Upload your starting image (JPEG or PNG format)
  2. Upload your ending image (JPEG or PNG format)
  3. Write a descriptive prompt explaining the transition or motion you want
  4. Select your movement amplitude (auto, small, medium, or large)
  5. Generate your video at just $0.20 per 5-second clip

For best results, keep your input images aligned in composition and perspective. Describe specific visual elements like lighting direction, camera movement, or emotional tone in your prompt for finer control over the output.

Pro Tips

  • Use “medium” amplitude for natural storytelling sequences
  • Use “large” amplitude for action scenes or dramatic visual shifts
  • Describe camera movement explicitly (e.g., “slow zoom in,” “pan left to right”)
  • Match the style and lighting between your start and end images for more coherent results
