What is the Vidu Q4 Prompt Generator?

The Vidu Q4 prompt generator on this page provides 20 free, professionally crafted prompts for Vidu Q4 Preview — the latest flagship AI video model from Shengshu Technology, launched October 7, 2026. Vidu Q4 is an image-to-video and reference-to-video model that debuted at #3 globally on the Artificial Analysis Image-to-Video leaderboard (Elo 1,179), jumping from #19 in a single release.

What sets Vidu Q4 apart: it accepts up to 15 reference images to lock characters, wardrobe, props, and environments simultaneously — the highest reference count of any top video model — while outputting native synchronized audio in every generation. Resolution tops out at 4K with 10-bit color, and the model's camera intelligence is specifically tuned for action sequences and chase scenes.

Every prompt below is structured for Q4's distinct strengths — 4K cinematic, high-reference character consistency, action choreography, voice-locked dialogue, and native audio integration. Paste directly into vidu.com, the Vidu API, or YouCam.

How to Write Vidu Q4 Prompts

Q4 parses full narrative descriptions — not keyword lists. Use this structure:

[Generation mode + reference count] + [Subject + action sequence + timing] + [Camera movement] + [Audio intent] + [Resolution target + quality benchmark] + [Duration in seconds]

Vidu Q4 Strengths:

  • 15 reference images — lock character, wardrobe, props, environments
  • 3 voice references — consistent dialogue and voice across generations
  • 4K with 10-bit color (2K and 4K tiers)
  • Native audio generated in every clip automatically
  • Camera intelligence tuned for action and chase sequences
  • #3 globally on AA-Video-I2V (Elo 1,179, October 2026)

Best Prompt Elements:

  • Name generation mode: "Image-to-video" or "Reference-to-video using N reference images"
  • Describe audio explicitly — Q4 generates it natively from your description
  • State "4K" + a quality benchmark (e.g. "BBC documentary", "luxury commercial")
  • For action, describe the camera reaction: "reactive shake through the vault"
  • Specify clip duration within 16 seconds
  • Name what each reference locks: "Reference images lock character face and wardrobe"

1. Cinematic Chase — Rainy Night Street

Action

Image-to-video: a figure in a dark coat sprints down a rain-slicked alleyway at night — camera chases from behind at shoulder height, keeping pace through a sharp left turn, over a low obstacle, and along a neon-lit corridor of steam vents. The camera work should feel visceral and reactive: slight shake on landing, smooth acceleration through the turn. 14 seconds, 4K. Native audio: footsteps on wet asphalt, rain, distant sirens.

2. 4K Wildlife — Snow Leopard on Ridge

Nature

Image-to-video: a snow leopard stands on a high mountain ridge at dawn — wind ruffles the thick spotted coat as the cat surveys the valley below. After 6 seconds, it lowers into a crouch and springs off frame left. Static telephoto camera, deep depth of field, snow bokeh in foreground. 14 seconds, 4K, BBC Planet Earth quality. Native audio: high-altitude wind, silence on the spring.

3. Multi-Reference Fashion — 15-Look Consistency

Fashion

Image-to-video using 15 reference images of a model and wardrobe: the model walks a sun-drenched Parisian colonnade — stone arches framing each step, dappled light across a white linen dress. 5 seconds of approach, a half-turn at mid-frame, 5 seconds walking away. Reference images lock character face, dress, and posture. Camera: low tracking shot transitioning to static wide. 12 seconds, 4K, Vogue editorial quality. Native audio: heels on stone, ambient courtyard sounds.

4. Product Hero — Luxury Watch Reveal

Commercial

Image-to-video: a luxury watch rises from absolute darkness illuminated by a single warm side light — rotating slowly counter-clockwise over 10 seconds, each facet of the case and bracelet catching and releasing the light. At 10 seconds, the watch face fills frame for 4 seconds — second hand ticking. Background: matte black. Camera: static macro, very shallow depth of field. 14 seconds, 4K, luxury commercial quality. Native audio: the precise tick of the movement.

5. Fight Sequence — Rooftop at Blue Hour

Action

Image-to-video: a two-person fight choreography on a rooftop at blue hour — 8-hit combination: jab blocked, cross landed, grab, counter-sweep, roll, recovery, feint, roundhouse that ends the sequence. Camera cuts across the action — wide to mid to close at the final strike — with city lights below. VFX: sweat catches the air at each impact. 14 seconds, 4K. Native audio: impact sounds, heavy breathing, distant city.

6. Reference-to-Video — Consistent Sci-Fi Character

Sci-Fi

Reference-to-video using 8 character reference images: a pilot in a worn exosuit walks the length of a docking bay — blast marks on the suit, a cracked visor, scorch on the left pauldron. The camera tracks from in front at a low 3/4 angle, gradually pulling back to reveal the scale of the bay and a departing ship in the far dock. 14 seconds, 4K, Aliens production design quality. Native audio: servo hum of the exosuit, distant hangar ambience.

7. 4K Aerial — Coastal Cliff at Sunrise

Nature / Architecture

Image-to-video: a drone shot ascending from the base of a coastal cliff at sunrise — beginning at sea level with waves crashing against rock, rising slowly through mist and spray, past the cliff face, to reveal a lighthouse and the full coastline at the top. 16 seconds, 4K. The color shifts from deep blue at the base through golden cliff-face tones to warm orange at the top. Native audio: ocean, wind intensifying with altitude, gulls at the apex.

8. Voice Reference — Character Dialogue Scene

Dialogue

Reference-to-video: two characters at a diner booth — the first leans forward and speaks directly to the second for 7 seconds, the second listens, then responds for 7 seconds. Reference character faces, wardrobe, and — using 3 voice clips — each character's voice signature. Lip sync to voice references. Camera: mid-shot on each speaker, low angle, warm tungsten diner light. 16 seconds, 4K. Native audio: synchronized dialogue, diner ambience, soft background music.

9. Parkour — Forest Trail

Action

Image-to-video: a parkour sequence through a temperate forest trail at dawn — the athlete vaults a fallen log, drops into a gully, rolls through it, and continues at sprint pace through dappled morning light. Camera follows from behind at hip height: reactive shake through the vault and roll, smooth through the sprint. 14 seconds, 4K. Native audio: footsteps through leaf litter, impact on the log, roll sounds, birds.

10. Architecture Reveal — Glass Bridge at Night

Architecture

Image-to-video: a slow lateral reveal of a pedestrian glass bridge spanning two city towers at night — the camera begins at the far end and tracks sideways along the structure, the city lights below shifting through the transparent floor. At mid-bridge: a single figure crosses, pausing to look down. Camera: slow steady tracking shot, slight elevation above the walkway. 16 seconds, 4K. Native audio: the hum of the city far below, wind across the bridge.

11. Ink Wash Animation — Vertical Mountain Scroll

Stylized

Image-to-video: a vertical ink wash scroll animation — camera pans upward from a fog-covered river valley through pine forest, waterfall, and bare rock faces to a snow-capped peak. Classical Chinese brush style: diluted ink washes, dry-brush tree detail, minimal line work on rock. 16 seconds. No color — pure monochrome on warm paper texture. Native audio: a single water drop, then silence throughout.

12. Slow Motion — Glass Break in 4K

Physics

Image-to-video: a crystal glass falls from a marble shelf edge in extreme slow motion — the fracture point is captured at the nanosecond of contact, then the glass separates into fragments that radiate in physically correct trajectories. Camera: static front-angle at shelf height, very shallow DOF, studio white background. 14 seconds at 10% playback speed. 4K, product photography studio lighting. Native audio: the full acoustic bloom of the break at natural speed.

13. Multi-Shot Narrative — Marathon Finish Line

Documentary

Image-to-video multi-shot sequence: Shot 1 (5s) — close-up of running shoes at mile 26, road-worn, the pace faltering slightly; Shot 2 (5s) — mid-shot of the runner's face, exhausted but focused, crowd noise rising; Shot 3 (6s) — wide shot of the finish line 200 meters ahead as the runner finds a final sprint. Consistent color grade across all shots: desaturated golden-hour palette. 4K, broadcast documentary quality. Native audio: continuous crowd sound threading across all three shots.

14. Character Reveal — Fantasy Warrior

Fantasy

Reference-to-video using 12 character reference images: a warrior in hand-forged armor stands in a ruined throne room — morning light entering through broken stained glass casts colored shafts across the stone floor. The camera circles slowly in 8 seconds to reveal a second figure behind the warrior, stepping from shadow. 14 seconds, 4K, high-fantasy cinematic quality. Native audio: the distant echo of wind through the ruin, the second figure's footstep on stone at second 8.

15. Cooking Documentary — Ramen Prep

Documentary

Image-to-video: a close documentary sequence of ramen preparation — tare being poured from a ladle into a ceramic bowl, the tsuyu layer forming, chashu being lowered onto noodles with chopsticks, a soft-boiled egg halved and placed. Camera: static overhead for the tare, transitioning to 45-degree angle for plating. Warm LED kitchen light. 14 seconds, 4K. Native audio: liquid sounds, chopsticks, no music — pure kitchen ambience.

16. 4K Dance — Contemporary Solo

Performance

Image-to-video: a contemporary dancer performs a 14-second solo phrase in a white-box studio — beginning from stillness, building through a spiral to the floor, and finishing in a held balance. Camera: wide static for the full arc, transitioning to mid-shot for the floor phrase. Neutral studio white, single overhead wash. 4K, minimal aesthetic, Pina Bausch quality. Native audio: acoustic breathing and footfall on studio floor — no music.

17. Luxury Real Estate — Sunrise Living Room

Commercial

Image-to-video: a luxury penthouse living room at sunrise — the camera begins at the entrance and glides forward as automated blinds retract to reveal floor-to-ceiling city views, dawn light flooding across polished concrete and white furniture. Camera: smooth forward dolly, no cuts. 14 seconds, 4K, architectural photography quality. Native audio: the soft mechanical sound of the blinds retracting, then ambient city sunrise.

18. Ocean Storm — Fishing Vessel

Nature

Image-to-video: a wooden fishing vessel crests a 6-meter wave in open ocean during a storm — the bow lifts to nearly vertical, then crashes forward through the wave face, white water flooding the foredeck before draining through the scuppers. Camera: low side-angle at water level, slight slow motion at the crest. 14 seconds, 4K. Native audio: the roar of the sea, the crack of the bow, the vessel's hull straining.

19. Timelapse Transform — City at Night to Dawn

Architecture

Image-to-video: a timelapse-style compressed sequence of a city skyline transforming from deep night to dawn — artificial lights dimming as natural light builds from the horizon, the skyline sharpening from silhouette to full detail, clouds moving in fast motion overhead. Camera: static wide angle from above the city, very slight slow zoom over 16 seconds. 4K. Native audio: compressed night city ambient fading to birdsong at dawn.

20. Anime Combat — Thunder and Rain

Anime

Image-to-video: an anime-style combat sequence in heavy rain with lightning — a 5-hit exchange: two sword strikes blocked, a counter-disarm, a throw, a final strike stopped a centimeter from the opponent's face. Lightning flash illuminates the scene at the peak of the disarm. Camera: cross-cutting close to wide at each impact. Tatsuki Fujimoto visual style — high contrast black, rain streaks, ink wash atmosphere. 14 seconds, 4K. Native audio: rain, steel impacts, lightning crash at disarm.

Vidu Q4 Prompting Tips

Do This:

  • State the generation mode at the start: "Image-to-video:" or "Reference-to-video using 12 reference images:"
  • Describe audio explicitly — Q4 generates native audio from your description automatically
  • Use all 15 reference slots when consistency across characters and props matters
  • For action, describe the camera's physical reaction: "reactive shake through the impact"
  • State "4K" plus a quality benchmark in every prompt
  • Keep clips under 16 seconds and specify the duration

Avoid This:

  • Keyword tags without narrative context — Q4 responds to complete sentences
  • Skipping audio — if you want silence, say "no audio" or "ambient only"; Q4 generates sound by default
  • Ambiguous reference roles — specify what each reference locks: "face," "wardrobe," "prop," or "location"
  • Overloading voice references with conflicting speakers in one generation
  • Requesting text-to-video — Q4 Preview supports image-to-video and reference-to-video only
  • Omitting camera description — always state position, motion style, and any reactive movement
