Vidu

ShengShu’s Vidu Q3 Turbo: fast clips with sound at 540p to 1080p, 1 to 16 seconds, from a prompt, a start image, or a start and an end image.

Prices

A clip costs its length times the rate: a 5 second 540p clip is $0.15. It’s charged only when the video is delivered.

What it takes

• A prompt of up to 2,000 characters.
• A first_frame to animate, and optionally a last_frame to land on. No reference images.
• Lengths from 1 to 16 seconds, in whole seconds.
• 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4. From a first frame, the video takes the image’s shape.
• Sound comes at no extra cost; set generate_audio to false for a silent clip.
• 540p, 720p and 1080p.

Prompting

• Describe the motion and the camera, not just the scene.
• For a start and end image, describe what changes between them.
• A seed makes a result you liked again with small changes.

Good to know

• Short clips usually take about a minute.
• Images you send are kept for up to two days so the model can read them, then deleted.
• Prompts or images that may break the content rules can be declined (content_policy); declined videos are free.
• Videos are kept for 30 days; download the ones you want to keep.
