Introducing Vidu Q1 Start-End to Video on WaveSpeedAI

WaveSpeedAI is thrilled to announce the availability of Vidu Q1 Start-End to Video—a groundbreaking AI model that transforms any two static images into smooth, cinematic video transitions. Developed by Shengshu Technology in collaboration with Tsinghua University, this model represents one of the most significant advances in AI-powered video generation, having claimed the top position on VBench, the industry’s leading benchmark for generative video evaluation.

Whether you’re a filmmaker creating seamless scene transitions, an animator prototyping sequences, or a content creator looking to bring still images to life, Vidu Q1 Start-End to Video delivers professional-grade results with unprecedented ease.

What is Vidu Q1 Start-End to Video?

Vidu Q1 Start-End to Video is a specialized AI model that generates coherent, natural motion sequences between a designated start frame and end frame. Unlike traditional image-to-video models that simply animate a single image, this model interprets the visual and semantic content of both frames, intelligently interpolating the motion, camera movement, and scene dynamics needed to create a believable transition.

Built on Shengshu’s innovative U-ViT architecture—a fusion of Diffusion models and Transformer technology—the model excels at understanding spatial relationships, maintaining object consistency, and producing fluid motion that rivals work from experienced VFX professionals.

The model generates 720p video clips at 5 seconds duration, providing production-ready quality with accurate textures, lighting, and temporal consistency. Internal benchmarks show that Vidu Q1 outperforms competitors including Runway Gen-2 and Luma Dream Machine on prompt fidelity and frame coherence.

Key Features

  • Bi-Frame Guided Synthesis: The model analyzes both your start and end images to generate realistic intermediate motion, ensuring a seamless visual flow that maintains logical continuity.

  • Strong Narrative Continuity: Scene logic and emotional tone are preserved across the generated frames, making it ideal for storytelling applications where context matters.

  • Object and Human-Aware Motion: Complex transitions involving people, objects, and environments are handled with spatial consistency and natural dynamics—no jarring artifacts or unnatural movements.

  • Adaptive Camera Behavior: The model intelligently simulates camera pans, zooms, and layout changes to achieve cinematic depth and professional polish.

  • High-Fidelity 720p Output: Every generated clip delivers production-ready visuals with consistent textures and lighting throughout the transition.

  • Intuitive Controls: Simply upload two images and optionally describe the desired motion style. Adjust movement amplitude (auto, small, medium, or large) to fine-tune the intensity of motion.

Real-World Use Cases

Film Pre-visualization and VFX

Independent filmmakers and studios can rapidly generate establishing shots, test scene transitions, or create VFX sequences without expensive post-production teams. As one indie filmmaker noted, having access to tools like Vidu Q1 is “like having a virtual production team on demand.” Hollywood has already taken notice—Aura Productions announced a 50-episode AI-generated anime series developed using Vidu technology.

Storyboarding and Animation Prototyping

Animators and creative directors can quickly visualize how scenes will flow before committing to full production. The model’s ability to generate smooth transitions between storyboard frames accelerates the creative process and reduces iteration costs.

Marketing and Product Showcases

Transform static product images into dynamic 3D-style animations. Morph one scene into another—day to night, before and after, old to new—to create compelling visual narratives for advertising campaigns.

Educational and Instructional Content

Create smooth visual transitions that guide viewers through processes, transformations, or chronological sequences. Perfect for tutorials, explainer videos, and educational materials.

Social Media and Content Creation

Generate eye-catching transitions that elevate your social content above standard cuts and fades. The professional quality of Vidu Q1 outputs makes your content stand out in crowded feeds.

Getting Started on WaveSpeedAI

Getting started with Vidu Q1 Start-End to Video on WaveSpeedAI takes just a few simple steps:

  1. Upload Your Frames: Provide your start frame and end frame images in JPEG or PNG format.
