Vidu Q1/Q2/Q3

Vidu text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, extend (multiple variants).

Pixio read

This model gets stronger as the shot becomes more explicit. Give it a subject, a move, a frame, and a mood so the output feels directed instead of guessed.

Best results start with a directed prompt or a strong first frame.

How to get the best out of Vidu Q1/Q2/Q3

Text to Video
Best when you want to direct the whole shot from language.
New scenes, camera intent, atmosphere-first ideation.
Image to Video
Best when the first frame or reference look needs to stay locked.
Keyframes, product shots, character continuity, style anchoring.
Extend
Best when the clip already works and you want more control instead of a reroll.
Continuations, polish passes, cleanup, stronger finals.

Use this when

  • You need text-to-video, image-to-video, or reference-to-video with Vidu.
  • You want extend to lengthen a Vidu clip.
  • You are choosing between Q1, Q2, and Q3 for speed vs quality (when multiple are available).
  • You want an alternative to Runway/Kling/ByteDance for generation and extend.

Credits

Credits depend on variant (Q1, Q2, Q3), duration, and mode. Extend adds cost per segment. Check the model card in Pixio for current rates.

Why Vidu fits generation and extend

Vidu offers text, image, and reference-to-video plus extend in one family. Variants (Q1, Q2, Q3) trade off speed and quality—use a faster tier for drafts and a higher tier for finals. Extend lengthens a clip you already generated so you can build longer sequences without re-prompting from scratch.

Prompt structure

[Scene] + [Motion] + [Camera] + [Style]. For image or reference-to-video, the image(s) define the look; prompt describes motion and style. One clear motion per prompt.

Prompt demo
A runner turns into a rain-soaked alley, camera tracking low beside them, reflected neon in the puddles, late-night city atmosphere, cinematic contrast, tense and propulsive pacing.

A strong video prompt gives the scene a subject, a move, camera behavior, and a mood to hold onto.

Modes and controls
Direct the whole scene
Text to Video

Start from language and push for camera intent, pacing, atmosphere, and shot design in one move.

Example prompts

Text-to-video:

"Wide shot of a lone astronaut walking across a red Martian landscape at golden hour. Dust kicks up with each step. Camera slowly dollies backward. Cinematic, anamorphic feel, shallow depth of field."

Product:

"A luxury watch rests on a black velvet surface. Camera slowly circles it, catching the light on the dial. Soft studio lighting, high-end product style."

Image-to-video (motion only):

"Camera slowly pushes in. Leaves rustle in the wind. Woman turns her head slightly toward camera. Cinematic, soft background."

Tips

  • Check which variant (Q1/Q2/Q3) is available in your plan.
  • Use extend after generate when you need longer clips.
  • Clear prompt and strong keyframe (for image/reference) for best results.
Open Generate
1

Start with a strong first frame when consistency matters more than surprise.

2

Keep each prompt focused on one primary motion direction.

3

Use shorter runs for iteration, then scale up for finals.

4

For narratives, structure the idea as Shot 1 / Shot 2 / Shot 3 instead of one flat blob.

Lock the look first
Image to Video

Start from a frame or reference when consistency matters more than improvisation.

Keep the motion usable
Extend

Continue or refine the clip without throwing away the visual language you already established.

Best use cases
1

Vidu Q1/Q2/Q3 works well when the prompt needs motion, framing, and visual direction, not just subject matter.

2

Use it for sequences that need a strong first frame, continuity, or a clearly controlled camera idea.

3

Treat each generation like a shot brief instead of a loose caption to get more cinematic outputs.

Pixio workflow
Step 01
Anchor the shot

Start with either a directed text brief or a strong frame, depending on how locked the look already is.

Step 02
Direct the move

Write the motion like a director: subject, action, camera behavior, environment, lighting, and tone.

Step 03
Scale to finals

Iterate fast on shorter runs, then move to stronger finals once the rhythm feels right.

Best paired with
Nano Banana Pro

Use it to build a stronger first frame, then hand that frame to the video model for motion and continuity.

Pixio utilities

Pair it with frame extraction, merge tools, or image prep so the motion workflow stays clean end to end.
