Vidu Q1

Vidu Q1 creates a five-second video with text and optional image guidance. Ailoot exposes 1080p output, framing and movement_amplitude choices for the shot.

About the model

This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.

Use vidu-q1 with model and prompt in /v1/videos. This request provides a five-second duration and 1080p resolution. Choose 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16 aspect_ratio and movement_amplitude as auto, small, medium or large. Image and end_image fields are also available.

Match the motion brief to a short visible action. State whether the movement belongs to the subject, camera or background, and describe the intended final composition. If a starting image is supplied, identify the subject details to retain; if an end image is used, explain the transition into it. Keep the motion setting with the brief for review.

Submit the shot once through /v1/videos and keep the returned request ID. Poll that same operation through /v1/videos/{request_id}, then save every completed video output and the complete response. Review the full action and final composition against the supplied material and brief.

Pricing

How the final charge is calculated

The displayed rates estimate the cost before generation. The final charge is calculated from the cost recorded for the original generation. Measured output duration and forecast quantities are not the final billable quantity.

Tariff references do not add request options. Supported parameters are listed for the selected method.

Fast mode
Not specified When fast mode is selected

This estimate is not an additional charge or a fixed rate for the completed generation.

Ailoot reserves an estimated amount before a request. After the result, it settles the final charge from measured usage. Streaming settlement uses the final usage record. How reservation and settlement work →
