The skier accelerates down the steep slope at high speed, carving sharp turns. Snow sprays violently from the edges of the skis. The athlete's body shifts dynamically from side to side maintaining balance. Tracking camera following the skier, motion blur on background, bright sunlight.

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/vidu/q3/image-to-video-pro with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id. Start polling the result endpoint around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. On completed, read output values from data.outputs. Examples for Q3 Image To Video Pro below.

time.sleep(2)Q3 Image To Video Pro is a Vidu model for video generation from images, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. Vidu Q3 Image-to-Video Pro generates high-resolution videos (720p/1080p/2K/4K) from images with exceptional visual fidelity and diverse motion. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.
POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID. Poll the result endpoint starting around every 2 seconds, increase the interval for long-running tasks, and stop on any terminal status. The playground generates production-oriented Python, JavaScript, and cURL examples with timeouts, transient-error handling, and safe GET retries. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/vidu/vidu-q3-image-to-video-pro.
Q3 Image To Video Pro starts at $0.45 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.
Key inputs: `prompt`, `image`, `resolution`, `duration`, `seed`, `bgm`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/vidu/vidu-q3-image-to-video-pro.
Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.
Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (Vidu). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
