Features
Vidu Q3 Pro Image-to-Video
Vidu Q3 Pro Image-to-Video transforms a reference image into a generated video clip with prompt-guided motion, controllable duration, resolution options, movement amplitude settings, and optional audio generation. It is designed for cinematic image animation, commercial visuals, social content, and other image-driven video generation workflows.
Why Choose This?
-
Image-guided video generation Start from a reference image and generate motion while preserving the core scene, subject, and visual identity.
-
Prompt-based motion control Use a text prompt to describe the motion, atmosphere, camera feel, and overall scene progression.
-
Flexible movement intensity Adjust
movement_amplitudeto control how subtle or dramatic the motion should be. -
Optional audio generation Enable generated audio and optional background music for a more complete output.
-
Multiple resolution options Choose between
540p,720p, and1080pdepending on your quality and cost needs. -
Production-ready API Suitable for animated keyframes, marketing content, social video, concept visualization, and cinematic motion design workflows.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| image | Yes | Reference image used as the starting visual input for video generation. |
| prompt | Yes | Positive prompt describing the desired motion, style, and scene behavior. |
| resolution | No | Output resolution: 540p, 720p (default), or 1080p. |
| duration | No | Video duration in seconds. Range: 1–16. Default: 5. |
| movement_amplitude | No | Motion intensity: auto, small, medium, or large. Default: auto. |
| generate_audio | No | Whether to generate audio. Default: true. |
| bgm | No | Whether to include background music in the generated output. Default: true. |
| seed | No | Random seed for reproducibility. Use -1 for random generation. |
How to Use
- Upload your image — provide the reference image you want to animate.
- Write your prompt — describe the motion, scene progression, style, and atmosphere you want.
- Choose resolution — use
540p,720p, or1080pbased on your quality and budget needs. - Set duration — choose the desired video length between
1and16seconds. - Adjust movement amplitude (optional) — use
small,medium, orlarge, or leave it onauto. - Configure audio options (optional) — enable or disable generated audio and background music.
- Set a seed (optional) — use
-1for random output, or a fixed seed for more reproducible generations. - Submit — run the model and download the generated video.
Example Prompt
A cinematic travel shot of a lone figure standing on a desert road at sunset, warm natural light, subtle wind moving clothing and dust, slow camera pullback, realistic motion, stable composition
Pricing
Pricing is based on duration and resolution.
| Resolution | 5s Cost | Per Second |

Best Use Cases
- Image animation — Turn still images into short video clips with controlled motion.
- Marketing creatives — Create animated hero visuals, ad content, and branded motion assets.
- Social media video — Generate short-form animated clips for posts, reels, and promotional content.
- Concept visualization — Bring keyframes, illustrations, or photo concepts to life with motion.
- Atmospheric storytelling — Add subtle camera motion and scene dynamics to still images.
- Audio-enabled video generation — Produce outputs with generated audio and background music for richer presentation.
Pro Tips
- Use a clean, high-quality reference image for better stability and subject preservation.
- Be specific in your prompt about motion, camera behavior, and atmosphere.
- Start with
540por720pfor testing, then switch to1080pfor higher-quality final outputs. - Use
smallormediummovement amplitude when you want more stable and natural animation. - Keep
largemovement amplitude for scenes that can tolerate stronger motion. - Reuse the same
seedwhen you want more consistent variations.
