What is Vidu Template AI?

Vidu Template AI is a generative image-to-video model that transforms static pictures into polished, dynamic videos by applying a variety of predefined motion templates. Built on advanced diffusion techniques, this REST API-driven service lets developers, creators, and product managers rapidly produce engaging visual content for social media, marketing campaigns, storytelling, and personal projects.

  • seed: Control randomness (set to 0 for varied output or a fixed value for reproducibility).
  • bgm: Toggle background music on/off.
  • Advanced params (beast, area, image_url_2, image_url_3) unlock multi-input and theme options.

Prompt Tips and Output Quality

1. Use a high-resolution image URL (image_url) for sharp details.
2. Select the ideal template_name to match your brand tone (cartoon, epic, romantic, etc.).
3. Set an aspect_ratio that fits your target platform (e.g., 1:1 for Instagram, 16:9 for YouTube).
4. Adjust seed to reproduce or explore variations.
5. Enable bgm for dynamic videos or disable for silent loops.
6. For specialized effects (beast_companion, exotic_princess), use beast or area to fine-tune style.
7. Combine up to three image URLs (image_url, image_url_2, image_url_3) for multi-scene templates.
