Vidu Q3

Active

Overview

Vidu Q3 is an AI video generation model designed to create cinematic videos up to 16 seconds in length with native audio-video synchronization. The platform enables users to generate complete videos from text prompts or images, with integrated dialogue, voiceover, sound effects, and music all synchronized in a single generation pass. It targets content creators, marketers, filmmakers, and commercial production teams who need to produce professional-quality short-form video content without traditional production workflows.

Key Features

Native Audio-Video Synchronization - Generates audio and video together at the model level, ensuring dialogue, sound effects, and music are naturally synchronized with character motion and scene timing without manual editing.
Shot-Level Camera Control - Enables precise control over camera movements including pans, push-ins, tracking shots, zooms, and orbit movements through text prompts for cinematic storytelling.
Multi-Shot Narrative Generation - Supports multi-shot structure generation with seamless transitions between different camera angles and shot types within a single video.
Extended Video Duration - Supports video lengths from 2 to 16 seconds, enabling complete story arcs and longer-form content in a single generation.
Voice Reference and Character Dubbing - Allows specification of voice style or reference voice to generate matching speech for on-screen characters with natural lip-sync.
Expressive Character Motion - Creates stable character motion with prompt-level control over micro-expressions, gaze, facial movement, and body language.
Automatic Subtitle Generation - Generates synchronized subtitles during video creation that automatically match timing and screen rhythm for multi-language output.
Production-Ready 1080P Output - Renders videos in full 1080P HD resolution suitable for commercial use and professional publication.
Multilingual Support - Generates videos with audio in English, Japanese, and Chinese languages.
