Q2 Pro | [image-to-video]
Vidu's Q2 Pro image-to-video model delivers 2-8 second video generations at $0.10-$0.80 per video depending on resolution and duration. Trading flexible duration control for higher per-second costs, Q2 Pro targets production workflows requiring precise timing control. Ideal for advertising, social content, and creative prototyping where exact video length matters.
Use Cases: Social Media Content | Product Demonstrations | Creative Prototyping
Vidu Q2 Pro's variable pricing structure ($0.10 base + $0.05/second for 720p, $0.30 base + $0.10/second for 1080p) trades cost predictability for granular duration control across 2-8 second outputs.
| Metric | Result | Context |
|---|
| Duration Range | 2-8 seconds | Adjustable in 1-second increments via API parameter |
| Resolution Options | 720p, 1080p | Quality-cost tradeoff: 3x price difference between tiers |
| Cost per Video (720p) | $0.10 + $0.05/sec | 4-second video = $0.30 total |
| Cost per Video (1080p) | $0.30 + $0.10/sec | 4-second video = $0.70 total |
| Movement Control | Auto/Small/Medium/Large | Explicit amplitude parameter for object motion intensity |
| Related Endpoints | Vidu Q1 Reference-to-Video | Multi-image reference variant for style consistency workflows |
Precision Control Over Generic Automation
Vidu Q2 Pro's architecture separates base generation cost from duration pricing, contrasting with fixed-length models that bundle timing into single-tier pricing. The movement amplitude parameter provides explicit control over motion intensity, small for subtle product reveals, large for dynamic action sequences.
What this means for you:
-
Exact Duration Matching: Generate 5-second Instagram Reels or 3-second product loops without paying for unused frames, critical when platform requirements vary by seconds
-
Resolution-Cost Optimization: Test concepts at 720p ($0.20 for 2-second tests) before committing to 1080p finals ($0.50 for same duration), 60% cost savings during iteration
-
Movement Amplitude Control: Set "small" for product photography animations where camera shake ruins shots, or "large" for action sequences requiring dramatic motion
-
Optional Audio Enhancement: Add background music to 4-second videos via boolean flag, streamlines social content workflows requiring synchronized audio

How It Stacks Up
Vidu Q1 Reference-to-Video ($0.10) – Vidu Q2 Pro ($0.10-$0.80) adds variable duration control and movement amplitude parameters at higher per-second costs. Q1 Reference-to-Video remains ideal for fixed-length workflows requiring multi-image style consistency where duration flexibility isn't critical.
Kling Video v2.6 Image-to-Video ($0.15 base) – Vidu Q2 Pro prioritizes granular duration control through per-second pricing for workflows requiring exact length matching. Kling v2.6 offers fixed-tier pricing for teams preferring predictable costs across standardized durations.
Pixverse Image-to-Video ($0.12) – Vidu Q2 Pro trades cost efficiency for explicit movement amplitude control and 1080p output options. Pixverse emphasizes faster iteration speeds at lower base costs for high-volume concept testing workflows.
LongCat Video Image-to-Video ($0.08) – Vidu Q2 Pro provides dual-resolution options and movement control at 1.25-10x the cost depending on settings. LongCat prioritizes maximum cost efficiency for 720p-only workflows where motion control granularity isn't required.
