Vidu Q1 Reference to Video

Vidu Q1 Reference to Video concentrates on the vidu/q1/reference-to-video workflow for reference to video work in video production. The endpoint is especially useful when a project has a defined transformation goal and needs a repeatable request contract instead of an ad-hoc desktop step. Teams can place this named operation inside review, asset preparation, and publishing pipelines while keeping the original request attached to every result. Vidu Q1 by Shengshu - animate still images into dynamic videos with AI. Transform photos into cinematic clips with natural motion, camera movement, and optional audio generation. Because vidu/q1/reference-to-video is a separate catalog entry, evaluations should use this route’s own inputs, output expectations, and billing behavior. Those strengths describe this precise catalog entry rather than its siblings.

The mandatory portion is prompt. For example, the route documentation includes “A young woman and a monkey inside a colorful house”. Vidu Q1 Reference to Video exposes bgm, seed, prompt, aspect_ratio, movement_amplitude, reference_image_urls as its documented request surface. bgm controls whether to add background music to the generated video; seed controls random seed for generation; prompt controls text prompt for video generation, max 1500 characters; aspect ratio controls the aspect ratio of the generated image; aspect ratio accepts 21:9, 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, 9:16; movement amplitude controls the movement amplitude of objects in the frame; movement amplitude accepts auto, small, medium, large; reference image urls controls uRLs of the reference images to use for consistent subject appearance. Q1 model supports up to 7 reference images. Applications can submit that exact shape asynchronously, retain the chosen arguments in job metadata, and collect the resulting media URL for review or publishing.

Highlights

• Coherent motion. Vidu Q1 Reference to Video is built to turn the route’s text or reference media into a temporally connected sequence rather than unrelated frames.
• Shot direction. Prompts can describe subject action, camera movement, pacing, and atmosphere so Vidu Q1 Reference to Video has a concrete motion plan.
• Reference-aware generation. When this route accepts source media, Vidu Q1 Reference to Video uses it to anchor identity, composition, or the clip boundary throughout generation.
• Production variants. Declared duration, resolution, framing, or inference controls support repeatable video options for review and selection.
