Try it on WaveSpeedAI!Vidu Q3 Image-to-Video turns text prompts into high-quality videos with exceptional visual fidelity and diverse motion. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
Vidu Q3 Image-to-Video is an advanced AI video generation model that brings static images to life. Upload a reference image and describe the motion you want — the model generates high-quality video with smooth animation, optional audio, and cinematic quality up to 1080p.
Why Choose This?
-
Image-driven generation Transform any image into dynamic video with natural motion.
-
High resolution output Generate videos in 540p, 720p, or 1080p quality.
-
Flexible duration Create videos from 1 to 16 seconds in length.
-
Audio generation Optional synchronized audio and background music.
-
Motion control Adjust movement amplitude for subtle or dynamic animations.
-
Prompt Enhancer Built-in tool to automatically improve your motion descriptions.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| prompt | Yes | Text description of the desired motion and action |
| image | Yes | Reference image to animate (URL or upload) |
| resolution | No | Output quality: 540p, 720p (default), 1080p |
| duration | No | Video length in seconds (1-16, default: 5) |
| movement_amplitude | No | Motion intensity: auto (default), small, medium, large |
| generate_audio | No | Generate synchronized audio (default: enabled) |
| bgm | No | Add background music (default: enabled) |
| seed | No | Random seed for reproducibility |
How to Use
- Upload your image — provide the reference image to animate.
- Write your prompt — describe the motion, camera movement, and action.
- Set resolution — higher resolution for better quality, lower for faster processing.
- Adjust duration — set video length up to 16 seconds.
- Configure audio (optional) — enable/disable audio generation and background music.
- Set motion intensity (optional) — control how dynamic the movement is.
- Run — submit and download your video.
Pricing
| Resolution | Cost per second |
|---|---|
| 540p | $0.07 |
| 720p | $0.15 |
| 1080p | $0.16 |
Best Use Cases
- Photo Animation — Bring portraits, landscapes, and product images to life.
- Social Media Content — Create engaging video content from static images.
- Marketing & Ads — Generate dynamic promotional videos from product photos.
- Storytelling — Animate illustrations and artwork for narratives.
- Creative Projects — Explore motion concepts from reference images.
Pro Tips
- Use the Prompt Enhancer to refine your motion descriptions.
- Be specific about movement direction, speed, and camera angles.
- Set movement_amplitude to “small” for subtle, cinematic motion or “large” for dramatic action.
- Enable generate_audio for realistic sound effects matching the scene.
- Use high-quality source images for better video results.
- Describe environmental effects (wind, smoke, dust) for more immersive results.
Notes
- Both prompt and image are required fields.
- Maximum video duration is 16 seconds.
- Audio generation adds synchronized sound effects and ambient audio.
- BGM adds background music appropriate to the scene mood.
- Ensure uploaded image URLs are publicly accessible.
