Vidu Q3 Turbo API: Image-to-Video

Animate one input image from a text prompt with the Vidu Q3 Turbo API — fast, low-latency, cost-efficient rendering, up to 1080p, 1-10 seconds.

The Vidu Q3 Turbo API (video_generate.vidu_q3_turbo_i2v_novita) is the fast, low-latency image-to-video mode: you pass exactly one input image plus a text prompt through image_urls, and the Vidu Q3 Turbo API animates that still frame into a moving clip with coherent motion while keeping the subject stable. Tuned for speed and cost efficiency, the Vidu Q3 Turbo API supports a variable 1 to 10 second duration, resolution up to 1080p, and an optional generated audio track with an audio_type control for everything, speech only, or sound effects only.

Pricing on the Vidu Q3 Turbo API is $0.234 per generation — 15% below the official rate of $0.275. It uses one RouterBase key, no separate SDK or account, and the same JSON shape covers 200+ other models. Because the Vidu Q3 Turbo API is async and OpenAI-compatible, you POST /v1/images/generations with the model and image_urls, then poll GET /v1/images/generations/{id} until status=success. Teams reach for the Vidu Q3 Turbo API for high-volume pipelines — product loops, avatar clips, and ad variants — where the 15% saving compounds across every run.

Why this model

Six reasons teams ship on the Vidu Q3 Turbo API

From one image to 1080p motion — what the Vidu Q3 Turbo API gets right.

Animate one image from a prompt

Pass a single input image and a prompt, and the Vidu Q3 Turbo API animates that frame into a moving clip — image-to-video with no extra assets.

Fast, low-latency Turbo tier

The Vidu Q3 Turbo API is tuned for speed and low latency, so clips come back quickly and high-volume image-to-video pipelines stay responsive.

Cost-efficient at scale

At $0.234 per generation the Vidu Q3 Turbo API keeps per-clip cost low, so batching thousands of image-to-video jobs stays affordable.

Optional generated audio with type control

Attach a generated soundtrack and use audio_type to pick everything, speech only, or sound effects only — the Vidu Q3 Turbo API handles the mix.

1-10 second variable duration

Set any duration from 1 to 10 seconds. The Vidu Q3 Turbo API is not locked to a fixed length — one render fits a short loop or a longer clip.

OpenAI-compatible & 15% off

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

Quickstart

Get started with the Vidu Q3 Turbo API in 3 steps

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

  1. Supply one image and a prompt

    Put exactly one source image URL in image_urls and describe the motion, mood, and camera in the prompt field (up to 2000 characters). The Vidu Q3 Turbo API animates that frame, so a concrete prompt yields the cleanest image-to-video motion.

  2. POST with image_urls

    Send image_urls plus prompt and optional duration, resolution, audio, and audio_type to POST /v1/images/generations. The Vidu Q3 Turbo 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 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.
