[Core Function] Vidu Q3 AD is a keyframe-driven short-play (short drama) Image-to-Video model that turns a film-style script plus character, scene, and prop reference images into a complete multi-shot short video, automatically planning shots and compositing them in one pass. [Strengths] It excels at multi-shot narrative coherence and keeping referenced characters, scenes, and props consistent across shots, driven directly from keyframe reference images without manual shot-by-shot prompting. [Best For] Highly recommended for: short ad films and brand stories, scripted short dramas, multi-scene narrative clips generated from a script, and character-driven reels built from a small cast of reference assets. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model to simply animate a single image (use a standard image-to-video model such as Vidu Q3 Pro/Turbo I2V instead); it requires script_content in traditional screenplay format (scene + characters + dialogue) plus 1-14 reference assets each with an image_uri, outputs 1080p in 16:9 or 9:16, and does not expose per-shot duration or style controls (duration is auto-planned). Asset type must be one of character/scene/tool. [Routing] Choose Vidu Q3 AD when the user provides a script and reference images and wants an automatically directed multi-shot short drama from keyframes. For animating a single image into one continuous clip, route to viduq3-pro-i2v / viduq3-turbo-i2v; for the standard short-play flow with placement/quality/duration/style controls, route to Vidu Q3 Drama.

  • vidu/viduq3-pro-t2v: [Core Function] Vidu Q3 Pro T2V is a premium cinematic text-to-video generation model. [Strengths] It excels at generating top-tier, realistic videos from text with support for advanced multi-shot ‘smart cuts’, complex physics, and simultaneous audio-visual generation. [Best For] Highly recommended for: cinematic storytelling, professional advertising, short films, and high-fidelity concept visualizations. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if the user is looking for an instant, low-latency preview, as generation takes longer. It does not support automatic BGM addition. [Routing] Use this model by default for high-quality text-to-video requests. If the user specifically asks for ‘fast’ or ‘quick’ generation, switch to the Q3 Turbo T2V model.
  • vidu/viduq3-turbo-t2v: [Core Function] Vidu Q3 Turbo T2V is a fast text-to-video generation model. [Strengths] It excels at rapidly generating smooth, dynamic videos from text descriptions with very low latency. [Best For] Highly recommended for: fast prototyping, quick visual brainstorming, generating background b-roll, and scenarios where generation speed is prioritized. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you need ultimate cinematic quality, complex audio-visual synchronization, or multi-shot ‘smart cuts’. It does not support automatic BGM addition. [Routing] Choose this ‘Turbo’ model when the user emphasizes ‘quick’, ‘fast’, or needs immediate results. If the user demands the highest cinematic quality or advanced audio-visual features, choose the Q3 Pro T2V model instead.
  • vidu/viduq3-mix-r2v: [Core Function] Vidu Q3 Mix R2V is a mixed-style reference-to-video generation model. [Strengths] It excels at generating highly consistent character videos by synthesizing and blending features from multiple reference images (up to 7) based on a text prompt. [Best For] Highly recommended for: maintaining strict character consistency across different styles, generating videos of a specific subject in entirely new environments, and blending concepts from multiple reference images. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you just want to animate a single image as is (use standard I2V). This model focuses on extracting character/style features and generating new content. [Routing] Use this when the user provides reference images of a character/subject and wants a video of them doing a specific new action from a text prompt, prioritizing mixed-style consistency.
  • vidu/viduq3-pro-fast-i2v: [Core Function] Vidu Q3 Pro Fast I2V is a high-speed Image-to-Video generation model. [Strengths] It excels at generating smooth, physically accurate continuous motion from a single starting frame with extremely low latency. [Best For] Highly recommended for: fast prototyping, short dynamic product showcases, quick cinematic transitions, and scenarios where generation speed is prioritized over maximum detail. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if the user requires 4K resolution, complex multi-character interactions, or highly stylized 2D anime deformations. It only supports 720p/1080p resolutions. [Routing] Choose this ‘Fast’ model when the user emphasizes ‘quick’, ‘fast’, or needs immediate results. If the user demands ultimate cinematic quality, choose the standard Q3 Pro I2V model instead.
