Vidu Reference-to-Video Q1 generates high-quality 5-second videos guided by multiple reference images. It combines advanced appearance preservation and motion synthesis, allowing creators to animate characters, products, or scenes while maintaining their original identity and style.
Example: “The girl in image 2 wears the glasses from image 1 and walks through a sunny street, soft natural light, cinematic color tone.”

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/vidu/reference-to-video-q1 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 Reference To Video Q1 below.

time.sleep(2)Reference To Video Q1 is a Vidu model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Generate videos from reference images while keeping characters, objects, and scene identity consistent using Multi-Entity Consistency. 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-reference-to-video-q1.
Reference To Video Q1 starts at $0.40 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`, `images`, `aspect_ratio`, `seed`, `movement_amplitude`. 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-reference-to-video-q1.
Median end-to-end generation time on WaveSpeedAI is around 169 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.
