Studio Quick Start
Interface Fundamentals
Vidu Q3 is designed for rapid iteration. Don't get stuck on complex parameters—focus on the "Sweet Spot" settings first. For a more detailed walkthrough, you can also check our step-by-step tutorial on initial project setup.
Social-Native (9:16)
Optimized for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts hooks.
Cinematic (16:9)
Perfect for YouTube narration and Wide-angle shots.
Advanced Image-to-Video
Image-to-Video is your **Secret Weapon**. It locks the visual soul of your project, allowing you to focus purely on the motion.
Generate High-Res Base
Start with a studio-quality still from Flux or Midjourney.
Set as Anchor
Upload this as your Start Frame to freeze character geometry.
Prompt Motion Only
Write prompts focusing solely on physics, wind, and camera.
The High-Impact Workflow
Vidu Q3 performs best when you treat your prompt as a description of a single, well-defined sequence.
The "One-Pass" Rule
Focus on 1 Subject, 1 Clear Action, and 1 Camera Move. Trying to do more in 5 seconds results in "video soup."
Intentional Physics
Use words that trigger physics engine logic: "Steam rising," "Fabric fluttering," or "Wet pavement reflections."
The Ultimate Prompt Formula
[Subject + Scene] + [Action (Single Sequence)] + [Camera Interaction] + [Lighting + Weather] + [Mood Style]Example Output
"A lone traveler in a neon-lit alleyway on a rainy night. He slowly turns to look back. Slow camera push-in, shallow depth of field, cinematic lighting."
The Creator's Lighting Bible
Volumetric
Visible light beams through particles.
Rim Lighting
Halo effect for backlighting subjects.
Chiaroscuro
Dramatic high-contrast shadow play.
Blue Hour
Soft, moody twilight illumination.
Anamorphic
Film-stock lens flares and bokeh.
Softbox
Diffused, professional commercial light.
Giving Video "Weight"
To achieve **Vidu Q3 realistic motion**, use keywords that imply inertia and natural physics.
