Vidu Q4 Image to Video
Vidu Q4 Image to Video: Animate Your Photos
Image to video uses a still image as the opening frame for a moving shot. Start with a product photo, portrait or illustration, then describe the action and camera movement.
What is Vidu Q4 Image to Video?
Image to video starts from a still picture and adds a described action over time. The image gives your shot a subject, composition and visual starting point; the prompt supplies the movement. Vidu Q4 lets you prepare a first frame, add an optional last frame and choose a short-video format. It suits product photographs, character artwork and scene images that already have the composition you want.
Key features of Vidu Q4 Image to Video
From source material to shot direction, organize the idea into a scene you can revise.
An image-led opening
Upload the picture that best represents the opening shot. Use an uncluttered composition with the main subject clearly visible, rather than relying on the prompt to repair missing details.
Optional last frame
Add a final image when the ending composition matters. The last frame is optional and works with a first frame; it is not a separate substitute for the starting picture.
Motion in plain language
Write what the subject does, how much it moves and where it ends. A single purposeful action is easier to evaluate than a short clip containing several scene changes.
Camera movement in the prompt
Describe a locked camera, a slow orbit or a close-up push-in. Separate camera movement from subject movement so the brief clearly identifies what should stay still.
Output format controls
Choose an integer duration from 4 to 15 seconds, a supported aspect ratio and 480p or 720p. Match the format to your intended edit before building variations.
A saved starting point
Keep the first frame, motion prompt and settings in one draft. Reopen the draft to change one instruction while retaining the image selection and the rest of the brief.
How to use this video workflow
Start with your material, describe the shot, then choose the available settings.
- 01
Upload your first frame
Choose a clear JPG, PNG or WebP. Add an optional end frame for the closing composition.
- 02
Describe the motion
Explain what moves and how the camera follows it. Example: a slow push-in while the subject turns.
- 03
Set the format and save
Choose duration, resolution, framing and audio. Save your scene to continue editing.
Why prepare your video with ViduAI?
Bring assets, prompts and settings together around one clear shot.
Start with your own assets
Existing character, product and scene images can supply the visual starting point, while the prompt describes action and camera direction. Identify the important details and choose the right input mode before building a variation.
Keep the brief and settings together
The prompt, duration, aspect ratio, resolution and audio choice belong to one scene brief. Save the draft so the next revision can change one factor while retaining the rest of the inputs and settings.
Plan clips for the final edit
Break a complex idea into focused short shots, then organize order, captions and timing in an editor. A clip can explore composition and movement; exact brand text and final delivery quality still require a careful review.
What can you plan with Vidu Q4 Image to Video?
Product reveals
Plan a slow turn, a camera orbit or a lighting change around a product image. Check labels, proportions and surfaces before using the clip commercially.
Portrait motion
Describe a glance, a blink or a subtle head turn. Avoid large movements when the source photograph hides parts of the face or body.
Landscape atmosphere
Add moving clouds, rippling water or a gradual camera approach. Explain which elements should move and keep a clear main visual focus.
Social media openings
Prepare a concise visual hook from an existing illustration or photo. Choose the aspect ratio for the destination and add titles later in an editor when text must remain exact.
Write the action, not just the atmosphere
Start with a clear image and describe movement rather than repeating every visible detail. If the end frame differs radically in pose or lighting, simplify the transition or use separate clips. Review hands, logos and fine textures closely.
Start with the subject and its relationship to the inputs, then add the main action, camera direction and any sound instructions. Change one factor at a time so revisions remain easy to assess. Adapt the example prompt to your assets and creative direction.
What to check before you start
Generated scenes can change faces, hands, lettering, geometry or contact between subjects. References guide creation and do not guarantee pixel-for-pixel preservation or identical details across clips. Upload material you have permission to use and obtain appropriate consent for real-person depictions.
Frequently asked questions
Inputs, output settings and access on Vidu Q4.
Do I need both a first and last frame?
No. One first-frame image is enough to prepare this workflow. A last frame is optional and must be paired with a first frame.
What can I use as a starting image?
Product photos, portraits, drawings and AI-generated images can serve as a first frame. Choose material you are allowed to upload and edit.
How is image to video different from reference to video?
A first frame defines the opening composition. Reference images supply visual information about subjects or style and do not need to be the opening frame. The inputs are separate modes here.
What clip settings are available?
Choose an integer duration from 4 to 15 seconds, 480p or 720p, an aspect ratio and optional generated audio. These are the current workspace settings.
Is a last frame required?
No. A first image and a motion prompt are enough to prepare this workflow. Add a last frame only when you need to guide the ending composition.
Does image to video keep every original detail?
No guarantee applies to every detail. The image guides the scene, but movement can change faces, lettering, geometry or small objects. Review the complete clip, especially for brand and product material.
