Features
🌌 Vidu Start-End to Video
Vidu Start-End to Video generates smooth cinematic transitions between two specified images — turning a start and end frame into a 5-second, coherent video. Ideal for storyboarding, scene linking, and concept animation, it combines motion interpolation with prompt-guided realism for visually stunning results.
🌟 Why it stands out
-
🎞️ Bi-Frame Guided Generation Creates natural motion between the start and end image while maintaining subject integrity.
-
⚡ Temporal Coherence Ensures stable transitions with no flicker or frame artifacts.
-
🧠 Context-Aware Motion Uses the text prompt to guide the transformation direction and emotional tone.
-
🎬 Cinematic Realism Simulates real camera motion—zoom, pan, fade, or morph—matching your creative intent.
⚙️ Input Parameters
-
prompt — Describe the transition or narrative.
-
image — Upload the starting frame (JPEG/PNG).
-
last_image — Upload the ending frame (JPEG/PNG).
-
movement_amplitude — Controls the motion intensity within the transition:
auto– Automatically adjusts based on content.small– Subtle, gentle motion for static or emotional scenes.medium– Balanced camera and object movement.large– Dynamic, cinematic transitions with stronger visual motion.
💰 Pricing
| Duration | Cost per Video | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 5 seconds | $0.20 | 720p |
🚀 How to Use
- 🖼️ Upload your start and end images.
- ✍️ Write a prompt describing the desired motion.
- 🎚️ Select movement_amplitude (
auto,small,medium, orlarge). - ▶️ Click Run ($0.20) to generate your transition.
- 💾 Preview and download your cinematic result.
💡 Pro Tips
- Keep both input images aligned in composition and perspective for best transitions.
- Use “medium” for natural storytelling and “large” for action or dramatic shifts.
- Describe visual elements like lighting, direction, or camera movement for finer control.
