Vidu Q4 belongs to the Vidu family of AI video tools. You start from a picture you already have and describe how it should move. Because you begin with your own image, the subject, setting and colours you already like carry over into the motion. If you have a product photo, an illustration or a character portrait, you can set it in motion without rebuilding it from scratch.
Your clip comes with sound. Depending on what you ask for, you can get room tone, object sounds, weather, or a spoken line. Audio is always on, so describe the sound you want, say whether you want speech or music, and listen to the full result. If your edit needs silence, mute or remove the track after downloading.
You upload 1 starting image, write a text prompt and choose a clip length from 3 to 15 seconds. You cannot start from text alone, and you cannot add a reference video, voice samples or extra reference pictures. Keeping the scope small makes it easier to learn: one frame, one idea, one clip.
Choose an image you are allowed to use. Keep the whole subject inside the frame and leave some empty space in the direction it will move. A hand cut off at the edge or a half-visible product is harder to animate well. If you only have an idea, create a starting frame first with an image tool such as Nano Banana 2, check the details, then bring it back here.
Describe the visible action, then the camera, then the sound. For the sample teapot, the prompt was: "The camera slowly pushes toward the teapot and cup. The objects stay still and keep their shape. Soft morning light, quiet room ambience, no dialogue, no music, one continuous shot." Skip details that are already obvious in the image and spend your words on timing and on what must stay the same.
You can choose any length from 3 to 15 seconds. A short clip is a good way to test whether the motion idea works. Extend the length only when the action needs room; a longer clip does not make a complicated sequence easier to follow.
Play the whole Vidu Q4 clip with sound, including the final second. Look at edges, faces, small text and whether the subject keeps its shape. If you want another version, change one thing in your prompt and try again.
Give a packshot a gentle push-in, a slow orbit or a change in ambient light. The blue teapot in the preview is a NanoPic-generated image animated using a calm camera move and soft room tone. Check labels and outlines frame by frame before putting a clip on a store page.
Turn a single key visual into a short vertical or horizontal draft for a social post, a story ad or a pitch deck. Leave a little space at the start and end of the shot so you can add titles and transitions in your editor. You get the moving shot; the cut, captions and music timing stay in your hands.
Start from a character portrait and ask for a small reaction: a glance, a smile, a breath before speaking, or one short line. Write the line in quotation marks and describe the voice in plain words. Check lip movement closely, because mouth shapes and timing can drift.
Bring finished artwork to life with one deliberate movement, such as drifting clouds, a swaying plant or hair moving in the wind. Repeat the art style in your prompt so the motion does not pull the picture towards a different look.
The clearest results usually come from one main action and one camera instruction. Asking for a scene change, a costume change and several cuts at once makes it hard to see which part of the request went wrong.
List the things that should stay fixed: the product shape, the logo position, the character's face, the direction of the light. Then check those details in your clip.
Instead of "add audio", write "light rain on the window, distant traffic, no music". Specific sounds give you a clearer target and make the result easier to judge.
Push in, pull back, slow pan left, gentle orbit, static shot, slight handheld sway. Pick one, add a speed word such as slow or gentle, and say whether the shot should be continuous.
In a short clip, ask for one action and one camera move. In a longer clip, write two or three beats in the order they should happen, for example: the bear walks up to the cabin, stops, then waves at the camera. More time gives each beat room, so the result feels less rushed.
With one image per clip, consistency comes from your inputs. Reuse the same character image, keep the wording that describes the face, outfit and style identical between prompts, and change only the action. Planning several shots this way helps a short sequence of clips feel related.
Place your clips side by side in your editor and compare faces, colours and lighting before you commit to a cut. Regenerate the clip that stands out rather than rewriting every prompt.
Vidu Q4 is an AI video generator from the Vidu family. You upload one image, describe the motion and sound you want, and get a 3 to 15 second clip with audio.
Preview is the label the Vidu team uses for an early release of Vidu Q4. It means Vidu Q4 is still evolving, so results and available options may change over time.
No, NanoPic is independent and not affiliated with Vidu or its developer.
Upload one image, describe the action, camera and sound, choose a duration, and generate. You only need a web browser.
Yes. You upload a photo or artwork and it comes to life. The more natural your starting image and the simpler the requested motion, the easier it is to keep the scene believable. Always review the whole clip.
Write the action first, then the camera, then the sound. Keep to one main action, name what must stay unchanged, and describe sounds specifically, for example rain on glass instead of just audio.
Vidu Q4 generates sound together with the picture, and you can request a spoken line in your prompt. Mouth movement and timing may not match perfectly, so check dialogue clips carefully.
Reuse the same starting image, keep the description of the character and style identical, and change only the action. You can use 1 image per clip, so consistency comes from your starting frame and wording.
Pick the length by how much happens. A single gesture or camera move fits a short clip; a small sequence of actions or a line of dialogue needs more time. You can choose from 3 to 15 seconds.
No. You start every clip from 1 starting image. Create a frame with an image generator first if you only have an idea.
No. You can upload 1 starting image; audio and video references are not supported.
You can choose any duration from 3 to 15 seconds.
There is no separate aspect ratio setting. Crop your starting image to the framing you want before uploading.
Whether a generation uses any of your balance, and how much, is shown in the panel before you start. Go by what you see in your account at that moment.
The panel shows what a video needs before you generate, and it depends on the options you choose. Check that figure in your account.
Please read the NanoPic terms of service for how generated videos may be used, and make sure you hold the rights to your starting image and anything shown in it.
Every video you make comes with sound. Ask for a quiet scene if you like, and remove the track in your editor if the final file must be silent.
