Vidu Q3 Image to Video

Vidu Q3 Image to Video is a specialized SandBase endpoint built to turn a source still into a directed moving shot while preserving its visual anchor. It is most useful when teams need start-and-end-frame transitions, native sound generation, and flexible 1–16 second timing, with the route’s inputs defining a repeatable production contract instead of leaving critical delivery choices to an ad-hoc manual workflow.

Use this exact route when its input mode matches the creative asset already in hand: describe the visual or spoken result clearly, set only the controls that support the intended delivery, and keep the subject, action, environment, camera or performance direction internally consistent. The result is returned asynchronously as a downloadable media URL suitable for review, automation, or downstream finishing.

Highlights

• Still-led motion. The source image establishes composition and subject appearance while the prompt directs action, camera travel, and atmosphere.
• Optional destination frame. Add an ending image to shape a deliberate visual transition instead of leaving the final composition entirely open.
• Synchronized audiovisual output. Native audio mode can generate dialogue, ambience, and effects together with the moving picture.
• Production-length control. Durations from 1 to 16 seconds and four resolution tiers support everything from quick motion tests to polished clips.

Pricing

Billing follows the selected duration and resolution. The standard rate is $0.0700 per second at 360p/540p and $0.1540 per second at 720p/1080p.

When to Use

Prompt Guide

Lead with the main subject or source asset, then describe the intended action or transformation, environment, composition, camera or vocal delivery, lighting and mood. Keep instructions concrete and compatible; use the route’s explicit fields for duration, resolution, ratio, quality, voice, or reproducibility instead of burying those settings in prose.
