API questions before your first call
- At 720p, each second costs $0.28 and a minute comes to $16.57 (R$55.46, 926 credits). Each generation runs 1 to 16 seconds.
- Create an account, make a key and send the request to the quote, which charges nothing. The smallest Vidu Q3 generation costs 16 credits, more than the 15 free ones: use those to try a cheaper model from the catalog.
- With references: up to 7 images guide the character, product or style. From an image: the image you send becomes the first frame. Text only: the prompt describes everything. First and last frame: two images become the start and the end of the video.
- No. Buy a credit pack by card, or in reais with Pix from Brazil, and spend it on Vidu Q3 and every other model with the same key.
- No. The Cut.Pro key calls Vidu Q3 without a Vidu account, with one balance for every model in the catalog.
- Yes. With a CPF or CNPJ and full address in your billing details, the nota fiscal is issued after each payment is confirmed.
