Vidu Q3: Text & Image to Video Online
Bottom line
Vidu's flagship generates picture and sound together, in takes up to 16 seconds. Start from a prompt or a still image in the Text to Video tool; VdoBloom shows the exact credit cost before each Vidu Q3 run, with no separate Vidu account.
Sixteen seconds is a long time in generated video — no model on VdoBloom offers a longer single take, and it is enough room for an actual scene instead of an isolated moment. Vidu Q3, the flagship of Shengshu's line, offers 5-, 8-, and 16-second takes — and generates audio along with the picture, so a 16-second clip arrives as a finished audiovisual shot rather than a silent draft.
That combination changes what a single generation can be. A short scene with sound design, a talking beat with ambience, a product moment with an audio bed — outputs that previously required a video model plus an editing pass can come out of one prompt. Q3 accepts both text prompts and reference images, outputs 720p or 1080p, and frames at 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1.
It is the most capable Vidu variant on VdoBloom in duration and multimodality; the Q3 Turbo sibling trades some quality headroom for speed on the same spec sheet. Q3 rates 3.9 with MODERATE content filtering, and the per-run credit cost is shown before you render.
What creators use Vidu Q3 for
- Scene-length 16-second clips with generated sound, avoiding the stitch-three-clips-together workflow.
- Social videos that ship straight from generation because ambience and effects are already in the file.
- Image-anchored shots where an uploaded frame sets the look and Q3 adds both motion and audio.

Frequently asked questions
How long can a Vidu Q3 clip be?
Up to 16 seconds, with 5- and 8-second options for shorter beats. The 16-second ceiling is the longest in the Vidu family on VdoBloom and long enough to hold a small scene in a single take.
Does Vidu Q3 really generate audio, not just video?
Yes. Q3 is multimodal: sound is generated together with the picture, so clips arrive with ambience and effects in sync rather than needing a separate audio pass in an editor.
How permissive is Vidu Q3's content filtering?
It sits at MODERATE — standard filtering. Everyday creative subjects, commercial work, and stylized scenes are fine; explicit material is refused whether prompted in text or supplied as an image.
What input and output options does Q3 support?
It takes text prompts or reference images, and outputs at 720p or 1080p in 16:9, 9:16, or 1:1. That covers widescreen, vertical, and square deliverables from the same model.
