Vidu Q3 Pro, the latest AI video generation model from Shengshu Technology, is now live on Novita AI. This marks a significant milestone in accessible AI video creation—combining native audio-video generation with up to 16-second clips and 1080p resolution, all through a simple API.
If you’ve been waiting for a production-ready video model that doesn’t require duct-taping audio onto silent clips, this is it.
What Makes Vidu Q3 Different?
Most AI video generators today output silent videos. Audio—if supported—is added as an afterthought, often mismatched with the visuals. Vidu Q3 takes a fundamentally different approach.
Native Audio-Visual Generation
Vidu Q3 generates video and audio simultaneously, not sequentially. This means:
- Dialogue, background music , and sound effects are created in sync with visuals
- Scene rhythm matching: audio cadence aligns with on-screen motion
- No post-processing glue work: what you get is a complete, ready-to-publish video
Two Modes: Text-to-Video & Image-to-Video
Novita AI now provides API access to both Vidu Q3 Pro variants:
1. Text-to-Video (T2V)
Generate complete videos from text descriptions.
Key specs:
- Resolutions: 540p, 720p, 1080p
- Duration: 1–16 seconds
- Aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, 1:1
- Audio: Synchronized dialogue + sound effects (optional)
2. Image-to-Video (I2V)
Animate static images with natural motion and subject consistency.
Key specs:
- Input: Single reference image (JPG, PNG, WEBP; max 50MB)
- Motion control: Describe desired camera movement and scene dynamics
- Style options: General (realistic) or Anime
- Custom audio: Upload your own background music (MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC)
How It Stacks Up
Vidu Q3’s standout advantage is integrated storytelling. While models like Kling 3.0 may excel in visual polish and Sora 2 in physics simulation, Vidu Q3 focuses on complete, narrative-ready clips:
| Feature | Vidu Q3 | Typical Competitors |
| Native audio-video generation | ✅ Yes | ❌ Audio added separately |
| Max single-clip duration | 16 seconds | 8–12 seconds |
| Synchronized sound effects | ✅ Yes | ⚠️ Limited or manual |
| Multi-shot storytelling (Smart Cuts) | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |

Step 1: Submit Video Generation Request
Send a request to start generating your video. You’ll receive a task_id immediately.
- Python Code
import requests
url = "https://api.novita.ai/v3/async/vidu-q3-pro-t2v"
payload = {
"seed": 123,
"audio": True,
"prompt": "<string>",

"duration": 123,
"off_peak": True,
"watermark": True,
"resolution": "<string>",
"wm_position": 123,
"aspect_ratio": "<string>"
}
headers = {
"Content-Type": "<content-type>",
"Authorization": "<authorization>"
}
response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
print(response.text)- cURL Code
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.novita.ai/v3/async/vidu-q3-pro-t2v \
--header 'Authorization: <authorization>' \
--header 'Content-Type: <content-type>' \
