Vidu Start-End To Video 2.0

Vidu Start-End-to-Video 2.0 — vidu/start-end-to-video-2.0

Vidu Start-End-to-Video 2.0 generates a short video that transitions from a start image to an end image, guided by a text prompt. You provide the first frame (image) and the final target frame (last_image), then describe the transformation story in the prompt. The model fills in the in-between motion and visual continuity, making it ideal for morphs, product reveals, character transformations, and “before → after” storytelling. You can control how dramatic the motion is with movement_amplitude.

Key capabilities

• Start-to-end guided video generation (image → last_image)
• Prompt-driven transformation with controllable motion intensity
• Designed for smooth visual transitions and narrative continuity
• Movement amplitude control: auto / small / medium / large
• Seed control for reproducible variations

Use cases

• Character transformation and morph sequences (human → creature, outfit swaps, style shifts)
• Product reveals (closed box → unboxed product, sketch → final render)
• Before/after transitions (room makeover, color grading shift, weather change)
• Logo or brand animations (static mark → dynamic finish frame)
• Short cinematic transitions for ads and social clips

Pricing

Inputs

• prompt (required): describe the transition and what happens in-between
• image (required): start image (first frame)
• last_image (required): end image (final frame)

Parameters

• movement_amplitude: motion intensity (auto, small, medium, large)
• seed: random seed (-1 for random; fixed for reproducible results)

Prompting guide (start → end)

Write prompts that explain how the start becomes the end:

• Describe the transformation mechanism (morphing, unfolding, dissolving, assembling)
• Call out key beats (sparks, parts shifting, panels opening, smoke/energy)
• Mention camera intent (fixed shot, slow push-in) if you need it
• Keep continuity constraints clear (same framing, stable background, consistent lighting)

Template: Fixed camera. Start as [start]. The subject transforms by [mechanism] into [end]. Smooth transition, coherent motion, consistent lighting, no flicker.

Example prompts

• A metal suit transforms into a sleek sports car through mechanical folding panels, glowing arc energy, parts assembling smoothly, fixed camera, cinematic lighting, seamless morph from start to end.
• A sketch drawing gradually fills with color and detail, turning into a polished illustration, gentle dust particles, slow push-in, smooth transition.
• A winter landscape melts into spring: snow dissolves, grass emerges, flowers bloom, warm sunlight grows stronger, smooth continuous motion.
