# Vidu Q1 Image-to-Video — Atlas Cloud API

> Vidu Q1 Image-to-Video is an advanced AI video generation model that brings static images to life. Upload a reference image and describe the motion you want — the model generates high-quality video with smooth animation, optional audio, and cinematic quality up to 1080p.

This is the machine-readable API reference for **Vidu Q1 Image-to-Video** on Atlas Cloud,
a unified API platform for 400+ AI models across text, image, video, audio and 3D.

## Use this model from an AI agent

Atlas Cloud ships three first-party integration surfaces. All three authenticate
with the same API key via the `ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY` environment variable.

### MCP server

The official MCP server (`atlascloud-mcp`) exposes this model to any
MCP-compatible host — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Goose,
Claude Desktop. One-line install:

```bash
# Claude Code
claude mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp

# OpenAI Codex CLI
codex mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp

# Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add atlascloud -- npx -y atlascloud-mcp

export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```

Then ask in plain English; the agent calls `atlas_generate_video` with `model: "vidu/q1/image-to-video"`.
The server fetches each model's schema and validates parameters before submitting,
so invalid requests fail fast without spending credits.

### Agent Skills

`atlas-cloud-skills` is a portable skill package (API reference, code templates in
Python / Node.js / cURL, model IDs with pricing) for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and
12+ other agents:

```bash
npx skills add AtlasCloudAI/atlas-cloud-skills
export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```

Skills docs: https://www.atlascloud.ai/docs/skills

### CLI

The `atlas` binary runs Atlas Cloud from a terminal or CI script. Async media jobs
are polled and downloaded automatically (use `--no-download` when a script only
needs the output URLs):

```bash
# Install (Homebrew, npm, or shell installer)
brew install AtlasCloudAI/tap/atlascloud
# npm install -g atlascloud-cli
# curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AtlasCloudAI/cli/main/install.sh | sh

atlas auth login
atlas generate video vidu/q1/image-to-video -p "Your prompt here"
```

## HTTP API reference

- **Submit endpoint (POST)**: `https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateVideo` — start an async generation; returns a `prediction_id`
- **Poll endpoint (GET)**: `https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/prediction/{prediction_id}` — poll this until the prediction finishes
- **Model ID**: `vidu/q1/image-to-video`

**Required Parameters Example**:

```json
{
  "model": "vidu/q1/image-to-video",
  "prompt": "",
  "image": ""
}
```


**Full Example**:

```json
{
  "model": "vidu/q1/image-to-video",
  "prompt": "",

## Usage Examples

### cURL

```bash
# Step 1: Start generation (async)
curl -X POST "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateVideo" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
