Vidu Q4 Text to Video
Vidu Q4 Text to Video: Build a Scene from a Prompt
Text to video starts with a written description rather than a source image. Describe the subject, setting, action and camera movement, then add sound instructions if you want generated audio.
What is Vidu Q4 Text to Video?
Text to video turns a written scene brief into visual direction without requiring a source image. Describe the subject, setting, action and camera, then choose the clip format. The Vidu Q4 text workflow is useful for exploring an idea before you have photography or artwork. It is also a starting point for concept shots that you will later refine with images or combine in an edit.
Key features of Vidu Q4 Text to Video
From source material to shot direction, organize the idea into a scene you can revise.
No source image required
Begin with a written idea when your subject or setting does not yet exist as an asset. Image inputs remain a separate choice when you need a specific visual starting point.
A structured scene brief
Arrange your prompt as subject, environment, action and camera. This order helps you identify missing information and revise one part without rewriting the whole idea.
Style and lighting direction
Describe an overall visual treatment and a consistent light source. Combining contradictory styles or several lighting setups can make a simple shot unnecessarily difficult to interpret.
Action with a clear endpoint
Give the main subject one action with a visible beginning and end. Allocate enough time for that motion rather than asking a brief clip to tell an entire story.
Optional sound instructions
When audio is enabled, describe the sound that belongs to the scene. Keep dialogue short and review its clarity and timing; this is not a promise of exact voice or lip-sync reproduction.
Drafts for idea variations
Save each scene brief with its settings. Change framing, pace or atmosphere in a separate draft so you can compare the ideas without losing the original direction.
How to use this video workflow
Start with your material, describe the shot, then choose the available settings.
- 01
Write the scene
Describe the subject, location and one main action.
- 02
Add movement and sound
Explain the camera direction and any audio you want.
- 03
Choose a format and save
Select 4–15 seconds, 480p or 720p and an aspect ratio. Save the draft; generation is pending.
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 Text to Video?
Concept development
Explore the visual direction of a scene before commissioning photography or illustration. Treat it as a concept rather than a record of a real event.
Narrative moments
Describe one character reaction, a setting reveal or a short action. Link several reviewed clips in an editor when your story requires a longer sequence.
Background shots
Plan atmosphere, weather or environmental motion for an introduction. Leave clear space if captions or a logo will be added during editing.
Social content ideas
Test a visual hook with a concise scene description. Keep factual messages and exact text separate from the generated picture and add them in the final edit.
Write the action, not just the atmosphere
Use concrete subjects and actions instead of a list of quality adjectives. Describe one main camera move, specify the most important details and remove instructions that conflict with the duration or frame shape.
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 an image for text to video?
No. A text prompt is the input for this mode. Choose image to video when a specific photograph should define the opening composition.
Can I ask for dialogue or background sound?
Yes, with generated audio enabled. Put those requests in the prompt. Exact voice identity, word timing or lip sync is not guaranteed here.
Can one prompt produce a full-length film?
This workspace is for individual 4–15-second clips. A longer film needs several shots and a separate editing process.
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.
Do I need to upload an image?
No. Text mode prepares a scene from your written prompt. To reuse an existing character or product appearance, switch to image or reference mode and add the relevant visual material.
Can I generate exact titles inside the video?
Generated lettering may be inconsistent. If a headline, subtitle or product label must match exactly, add it with a video editor after reviewing the visual material.
