Features
Vidu Q3 Image-to-Video Spicy generates unlimited high-quality videos from images with smooth, expressive motion. It transforms static images into dynamic clips with bold motion, rich color, and natural transitions — perfect for creative storytelling and scalable content generation.
Why It Works Well
- Unlimited-style generation: Optimized for high-quality, smooth animations at scale.
- Expressive motion: Bold, vivid motion with stable aesthetics and natural transitions.
- Flexible resolution: 540p, 720p, or 1080p to match your needs.
- Duration control: 1–16 second clips with fine-grained control.
- Audio generation: Optional synchronized audio and background music.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| image | Yes | Reference image to animate (URL or upload). |
| prompt | No | Text description of the desired motion and action. |
| 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 (ensure clarity and proper framing).
- (Optional) Enter a prompt describing desired motion, mood, or camera movement.
- Select resolution and duration.
- (Optional) Adjust movement_amplitude for motion intensity.
- (Optional) Set a seed for consistent results.
- Click Run to generate your video.
Pricing
| Resolution | Cost per second |
|---|---|
| 540p | $0.07 |
| 720p | $0.15 |
| 1080p | $0.16 |
Notes
- Works best with clear, well-lit images.
- Use high-quality source images for better video results.
- Set movement_amplitude to “small” for subtle motion or “large” for dramatic action.
- Maximum video duration is 16 seconds.
