The soldier moves from a static position, raising his rifle into a ready-to-fire stance, and begins to advance slowly and cautiously through the rubble. The smoke in the background thickens, and wind blows, kicking up dust from the ground. Handheld camera style with slight shake, adding immediate urgency.
Two futuristic robots engage in intense hand-to-hand combat. The white robot throws a heavy punch, and the black robot blocks and counters. Sparks fly from metal impacts, fast and fluid motion. Dynamic handheld camera with strong impact and motion blur.
Photorealistic cinematic shot of a rider on a powerful, muscular horse galloping through an open, sunlit field. The rider, dressed in rugged equestrian gear, suddenly exhales sharply — “吁~” — as they firmly grip the reins and bring the horse to an abrupt, natural stop. The horse’s muscles tense, its ears flicking, eyes locked forward with alertness, head slightly lowered in controlled stillness. Natural lighting casts dynamic shadows across the terrain, with realistic textures on the horse’s coat and rider’s clothing. The background is a blurred, expansive landscape — grassy plains, distant trees — emphasizing motion and sudden halt. High detail, accurate anatomy, lifelike motion, and authentic equestrian realism. Medium shot, eye-level perspective, capturing the tension and calm after the stop.
Vidu Q3 Image-to-Video is an advanced AI video generation model that brings static images to life. Upload a reference image and describe the motion you want — the model generates high-quality video with smooth animation, optional audio, and cinematic quality up to 1080p.
Image-driven generation Transform any image into dynamic video with natural motion.
High resolution output Generate videos in 540p, 720p, or 1080p quality.
Flexible duration Create videos from 1 to 16 seconds in length.
Audio generation Optional synchronized audio and background music.
Motion control Adjust movement amplitude for subtle or dynamic animations.
Prompt Enhancer Built-in tool to automatically improve your motion descriptions.

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/vidu/q3/image-to-video with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Q3 Image To Video below.

time.sleep(2)Q3 Image To Video is a Vidu model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Vidu Q3 Image-to-Video turns text prompts into high-quality videos with exceptional visual fidelity and diverse motion. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/vidu/vidu-q3-image-to-video.
Q3 Image To Video starts at $0.35 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `resolution`, `duration`, `seed`, `bgm`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/vidu/vidu-q3-image-to-video.
Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 165 seconds per request, based on recent successful runs. Queue time varies with global demand; live status is visible in the prediction record.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Vidu). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
