Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API: Start-End-to-Video

Use the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API to interpolate a start frame and an end frame into a smooth clip: up to 1080p, 16 seconds.

The Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API (video_generate.vidu_q3_turbo_f2v_novita) takes two keyframes -- a start frame and an end frame -- and generates a smooth clip that interpolates between them on the fast, cost-efficient Turbo tier. Pass exactly two image URLs in image_urls: the first is where the clip begins, the second where it lands, and the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API fills in the motion. An optional prompt steers the transition, and it fits morph transitions, before-and-after reveals, seamless loops, and product turntables on the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API.

Duration runs 1 to 16 seconds -- longer than the other Turbo tiers -- resolution scales up to 1080p, audio is on by default, and an is_rec flag auto-optimizes the request. Pricing on the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API is $0.234 per generation -- 15% below the official rate of $0.275. Async and OpenAI-compatible on one RouterBase key across 200+ models, you POST /v1/images/generations with model=video_generate.vidu_q3_turbo_f2v_novita and two frames, then poll GET /v1/images/generations/{id} until status=success and pull the clip from a signed CDN URL on the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API.

Why this model

Six reasons teams ship on the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API

From two keyframes to 1080p output — what the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API gets right.

Two keyframes to video

Supply a start frame and an end frame and the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API generates the motion that interpolates between them — you set where the clip begins and ends.

Fast, cost-efficient Turbo tier

The Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API is tuned for speed and volume — fast turnaround per clip so you generate start-end-to-video at scale without waiting on the top-end render.

Up to 1080p resolution

Render at 540p, 720p, or up to 1080p — the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API picks resolution per call, so draft at 540p and ship at 1080p.

Up to 16 second duration

Set any duration from 1 to 16 seconds — the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API runs longer than other Turbo tiers, so one render fits a loop or a longer transition.

Optional prompt, audio on by default

The prompt is optional on the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API — the two frames define the shot. Generated audio is on by default and is_rec auto-optimizes the request.

OpenAI-compatible & 15% off

One endpoint, one key at $0.234/generation — 15% below the official rate. The Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API uses the same JSON shape as every RouterBase model.

Quickstart

Get started with the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API in 3 steps

From sign-up to your first start-end-to-video call in under 5 minutes.

  1. Supply start and end frames

    Host two clean images at public URLs — start frame first, end frame second — and put both in image_urls. The Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API interpolates the motion between exactly these two frames.

  2. POST to the endpoint

    Send image_urls of two frames plus options like duration, resolution, and an optional prompt in JSON to POST /v1/images/generations. The Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API returns an async job id immediately; poll GET /v1/images/generations/{id} until status=success.

  3. Poll and download the clip

    The success response from the Vidu Q3 Turbo Start-End API contains a signed CDN URL under the results array. Drop it into a video tag or copy it to your own bucket — ready with no post-processing.
