Vidu Q1 Start-End

zhipuzhipu/viduq1-start-end

How TheRouter serves this differently from the vendor

As the vendor operates it

Zhipu's native MaaS API exposes Vidu Q1 Start-End at /api/paas/v4/videos/generations using upstream model name viduq1-start-end and accepts image_url as an array of two images.

On TheRouter

TheRouter serves the same start-end capability under public id zhipu/viduq1-start-end through its routed video-generation surface with unified TheRouter auth, pricing, and parameter catalog.

API guide

Async video generation

Submit a first frame, a last frame, and a prompt to create a fixed 5-second 1080p transition video. Snippets are illustrative only until human-approved verification is funded.
