Features
Vidu Q3 Turbo Image-to-Video
Vidu Q3 Turbo Image-to-Video animates still images into dynamic video with fast turbo-speed generation. Upload a reference image and describe the motion — the model brings your image to life with smooth animation, multiple resolution options, and optional audio generation with background music.
Why Choose This?
-
Fast generation Turbo architecture delivers quick results for rapid prototyping and iteration.
-
Image-driven animation Start from any image and animate it with natural, coherent motion.
-
Multiple resolutions Choose from 540p, 720p, or 1080p to balance quality and speed.
-
Motion control Adjust movement_amplitude to control the intensity of motion in the video.
-
Audio generation Optional synchronized audio and background music to create complete video content.
-
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 resolution: 540p, 720p, or 1080p (default: 720p) |
| duration | No | Video length in seconds (default: 5) |
| movement_amplitude | No | Motion intensity: auto or manual value (default: auto) |
| generate_audio | No | Whether to generate synchronized audio (default: enabled) |
| bgm | No | Include background music (default: enabled) |
| seed | No | Random seed for reproducible results |
How to Use
- Upload your image — provide the reference image to animate.
- Write your prompt — describe the motion, camera movement, and action.
- Set resolution — choose 540p for speed, 720p for balance, or 1080p for quality.
- Set duration — specify how long you want the video to be.
- Adjust motion (optional) — control movement intensity with movement_amplitude.
- Enable audio (optional) — toggle generate_audio and bgm for complete video with sound.
- Run — submit and download your video.
Pricing
| Resolution | Cost per Second |
|---|---|
| 540p | $0.04 |
| 720p | $0.06 |
| 1080p | $0.08 |
Billing Rules
- Per-second billing based on duration and resolution
- Total cost = duration × per-second rate
Examples
- 5s @ 540p → 5 × $0.04 = $0.20
- 5s @ 720p → 5 × $0.06 = $0.30
- 5s @ 1080p → 5 × $0.08 = $0.40
- 10s @ 720p → 10 × $0.06 = $0.60
Best Use Cases
- Product Animation — Bring product photos to life with dynamic motion.
- Social Media Content — Create engaging short-form videos from still images.
- Character Animation — Animate portraits, illustrations, or concept art.
- Marketing & Ads — Transform static visuals into eye-catching video ads.
- Rapid Prototyping — Quickly test animation concepts before full production.
Pro Tips
- Use high-quality source images for the best video output.
- Describe the motion specifically — camera movements, character actions, environmental effects.
- Start with 540p for rapid iteration, then increase resolution for final output.
- Set a seed value to reproduce the same result or create consistent variations.
- Adjust movement_amplitude to match the energy of your scene — lower for subtle motion, higher for action.
Notes
- Both prompt and image are required fields.
- Higher resolution increases both quality and cost.
- Audio generation (generate_audio and bgm) is included at no extra cost.
