Playground
Try it on WaveSpeedAI!Vidu Text-to-Video Q1 converts text prompts into high-quality videos with exceptional visual fidelity and motion diversity. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.
Features
Vidu Q1 Text-to-Video is a high-end video generation model built on Shengshu Technology’s Vidu Q-series architecture. It transforms natural language prompts into cinematic 720p videos with exceptional realism, diverse motion, and consistent visual fidelity — optimized for creative professionals and production use.
Key Features
-
High-Fidelity Generation Produces visually rich, detailed videos with natural lighting, textures, and depth.
-
Motion Diversity Captures a wide range of subject and camera motion — from subtle gestures to complex dynamic scenes.
-
Temporal Consistency Ensures frame-to-frame coherence and smooth motion transitions without flicker or distortion.
-
Prompt-Driven Storytelling Understands complex prompts, generating coherent narrative flow and visual alignment with text.
-
Cinematic Quality (720p) Designed for high-quality visual outputs suitable for editing, marketing, and storytelling.
Parameters
-
prompt — Describe your desired scene, action, or atmosphere.
-
movement_amplitude — Control the motion intensity:
-
auto– Adaptive movement based on scene content. -
small– Subtle or static scenes. -
medium– Balanced motion. -
large– Dramatic or action-focused motion. -
style - choose general or anime.
-
duration — 5 seconds per generation.
-
seed — Optional; set a fixed number for reproducible results.
Pricing
| Resolution | Duration | Cost per Clip |
|---|---|---|
| 720p | 5s | $0.40 |
How to Use
- Write a clear and descriptive prompt explaining the scene.
- Adjust movement_amplitude to match the desired motion level, and style of your video.
- (Optional) Set a seed for consistent output.
- Run the model to generate your 5-second 720p video.
Tips
- Keep prompts concise but descriptive — specify lighting, camera direction, and atmosphere.
- Use medium or large amplitude for cinematic movement.
- Suitable for short-form content, concept visualization, or creative production workflows.
