We fed a product still into the Vidu Q3 Pro API and it moved on-brand at 1080p. The sixteen-second reach lets one render tell a whole story.
The Vidu Q3 Pro API animates a single input image from an optional text prompt — clips up to 16 seconds, up to 1080p, five aspect ratios (16:9/9:16/4:3/3:4/1:1), general or anime style, an attachable audio track and a reproducible seed, via one OpenAI-compatible REST endpoint 15% below official.

Use the Vidu Q3 Pro API to animate a still image into a clip from an optional prompt: 1080p, 16 seconds, five aspect ratios.
The Vidu Q3 Pro API (video_generate.vidu_q3_pro_i2v_novita) turns a single still image into a moving video from an optional prompt: pass one image URL in image_urls, describe the motion, and the Vidu Q3 Pro API animates that frame while honoring its composition, lighting, and subject. Duration runs 1 to 16 seconds -- the longest in the Vidu i2v family -- resolution scales up to 1080p, and aspect_ratio covers five ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, and 1:1. A style toggle renders general or anime output, and a seed makes the Vidu Q3 Pro API reproducible.
Pricing on the Vidu Q3 Pro API is $0.425 per generation -- 15% below the official rate of $0.500. It runs on one RouterBase key with the same JSON shape across 200+ models, and because the Vidu Q3 Pro API is async and OpenAI-compatible you POST /v1/images/generations with model=video_generate.vidu_q3_pro_i2v_novita, one image URL, and an optional prompt, then poll GET /v1/images/generations/{id} until status=success and pull each clip from a signed CDN URL. Teams reach for the Vidu Q3 Pro API when a still exists and they want motion without a reshoot.
Six reasons teams ship on the Vidu Q3 Pro API
From one still image to 16-second 1080p output — what the Vidu Q3 Pro API gets right.
Animate one still image
Supply one image URL and the Vidu Q3 Pro API animates that frame from an optional prompt — the hero shot moves while its composition and lighting stay intact.
Up to 16-second duration
Set any duration from 1 to 16 seconds — the longest in the Vidu i2v line. The Vidu Q3 Pro API lets one render fit a short loop or a full sixteen-second story.
Five aspect ratios
Pick 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, or 1:1 per call. The Vidu Q3 Pro API turns one source image into landscape, vertical, and square cuts covering every placement.
General or anime style
Flip the style toggle between general and anime in one request. The Vidu Q3 Pro API gives the same source image a photoreal or stylized anime look on demand.
Attach an audio track
Pass an optional audio URL and the Vidu Q3 Pro API mixes that soundtrack into the finished clip — motion and sound land together.
Up to 1080p, 15% off
Render at 540p, 720p, or 1080p at $0.425/generation — 15% below the official rate. The Vidu Q3 Pro API uses the same JSON shape as every RouterBase model; switching is only a model ID change.
Quickstart
Get started with the Vidu Q3 Pro API in 3 steps
From sign-up to your first image-to-video call in under 5 minutes.
Pick your source image
Host one clean, well-lit image at a public URL and put it in image_urls — the Vidu Q3 Pro API animates exactly this frame, so a sharp source sharpens the result. Choose an aspect_ratio for your placement.
POST to the Vidu Q3 Pro API endpoint
Send image_urls plus optional prompt, duration, resolution, aspect_ratio, style, audio, and seed to POST /v1/images/generations. The Vidu Q3 Pro API returns an async job id; poll GET /v1/images/generations/{id} until status=success.
Poll and download the clip
The success response from the Vidu Q3 Pro API contains a signed CDN URL in the results array. Drop it into a <video> tag or copy it to your bucket — ready with no post-processing.
