Everything You Need to Know About
Vidu Q3 API
This guide targets Vidu Q3 API and Vidu Q3 Turbo searches while showing developers how to ship text-to-video and image-to-video workflows with predictable per-second pricing.
What is the Vidu Q3 API?
The Vidu Q3 API gives teams one endpoint for premium and Turbo video generation. Vidu Q3 API is Vidu's flexible per-second video generation API for developers who want one endpoint for both premium and Turbo creation. It supports text-to-video, single-image animation, and first-and-last-frame transitions with 540p, 720p, or 1080p output, optional sound effects, and optional background music.
Developers evaluating Vidu API options can use APIXO to compare fast preview loops against higher-priced standard output without changing their integration surface.

Vidu Q3 API Pricing (Per Second)
Standard and Turbo pricing share one API. Multiply the per-second rate by your chosen duration for total cost.
Example: Turbo 540p at 4 seconds costs $0.144, while Standard 1080p at 16 seconds costs $2.304.
What Developers Say About the Vidu Q3 API
Real feedback themes from teams testing Standard and Turbo video workflows
"We use Turbo for creative iteration, then switch to Standard when a concept is approved. The Vidu Q3 API keeps that workflow simple."
Ava Lin
Growth Engineer
"The Vidu Q3 API page makes it obvious how duration and resolution affect spend, which helps our PMs approve experiments faster."
Mason Jones
Product Manager
"Single-image animation plus first-and-last-frame transitions cover most of our short-form motion needs without adding a second provider."
Riley Chen
Creative Technologist
Important Considerations
Understanding the constraints helps you design predictable Vidu Q3 API workflows
Video duration must be between 1 and 16 seconds
Image modes require 1 or 2 reference images and support JPG or PNG uploads only
Style and aspect ratio controls apply only to text modes
Seed values must stay between -1 and 2147483647
Returned result URLs are time-limited and should be downloaded promptly
Content must comply with provider safety policies
