Pellet hoppers want Vidu auger click after the SKU locks

Lock the stove SKU, then Vidu Q3 I2V for diegetic auger; a wood-stove crackle plate is a different appliance and a different still.

A pellet listing that books is a hopper and a feed: this cabinet, this glass, this badge, the auger tick a buyer can hear against the still they already matched. Wood-stove crackle is a different fire, a different fuel, a different door. Mixing them in one generate is how a pellet SKU becomes a log burner with a hopper caption. Photograph the stove you stock. Animate the hopper. Write the click. Leave the logs off the plate.

Lock the stove SKU first

The buyer is matching a serial to a drawing. Hopper geometry, door glass, the badge — those are identity. Text-to-video asked for “cozy pellet stove at golden hour” will invent a cousin cabinet and a wood-stove hearth because “stove” in a paragraph is logs.

Shoot the unit you would ship: hopper lid, glass, the printed panel, fill the frame. Same light as the catalog. Fine type on the badge is the first thing a generator loses. If the model line must read at the open, it has to fill the frame at the open.

Image-to-video starts there. Frame one is the file. The prompt is the beat — pellets drop, auger ticks, glass locked, no new ports — not a paragraph that re-describes “EPA-certified wood-look insert.” Re-describing the appliance in the prompt is how the model mints a cousin fuel. Keep the hopper large. Crop to the stove.

Turn a photo into a video is the named one-still job: attach the catalog jpeg, describe the hold, pick an image-to-video model. Cost is priced per model, shown before you confirm. Name Vidu when the brief is diegetic click. A bare “make a stove video” will land on a hearth row. Do not prompt a log onto the glass. A loaded wood fire is a different still, shot on a different appliance.

Vidu Q3 I2V is the auger click

Vidu Q3 Image to Video is the still-to-motion row with native audio: 5s, 10s, or 15s, 1080p, 16 credits, discounted. Audio is on. Write the mix — an auger tick, a hopper rattle, a quiet cabinet — or you will get a soundtrack you did not choose. A silent brief still gets sound. Prompt the click, not a lecture.

Iterate at 5s. Fifteen seconds of the same hopper is a long miss unless the feed actually travels. Crop 9:16 or 16:9 before upload; this slug has no aspect-ratio list. Diegetic means the sound is in the picture: auger, hopper, glass. It is not a host. It is not a “how you should heat” read.

Native audio is the reason this leftover is Vidu, not a silent I2V row. Unspecified audio is how you get a music bed the stove never had. Name two or three sounds. State “no music, no speech” if you want a clean hopper loop.

Vidu Q3 Video is the sibling text-to-video row: same 5 / 10 / 15s, 1080p, audio on, 16 credits, not discounted, no still required. It will invent a stove, often with a wood fire because “stove” in a paragraph is logs. Upload the cut you sell. A sentence is not a plate.

A wood-stove crackle is a different appliance

A wood stove is a firebox, a grate, a crackle, a different EPA path, a different fuel SKU. The still is logs, flame, a door that is not a hopper lid. Pellet is metered feed: hopper, auger, a glass that shows a pellet bed if it shows fire at all. Mixing them in one generate is how a pellet dealer ships a wood-stove cousin with a “pellet” overlay.

Do not prompt “pellet stove” on a clip that already looks like split oak and hope the caption fixes it. The appliance in frame is the product. If you sell both, they are two stills and two prompts. Pellet on Vidu I2V for the hopper click. Wood as its own plate, its own photograph.

Do not morph hopper geometry, glass, badge, or a pellet cabinet into a freestanding wood stove because last week’s ad was crackle. Pause on the hopper. If the lid or the glass changed, the clip is scrap.

Overlay the model line; skip the talking dealer

Muted autoplay still needs a model string, a fuel word, or a CTA on the file. Vidu will not letter the SKU onto the hopper as a fact. Add a text overlay burns one authored line, whole clip, top / center / bottom. It does not transcribe. Model, hopper capacity, “pellet not wood” — those are overlay after picture lock. Reports change; the cabinet should not.

A constructed dealer walking “what you should burn this winter” is a mouth on a generate. This SKU does not need that mouth. The motion is the click. Specs are overlay. If a buyer needs a human, film a named person.

Diegetic auger on Vidu Q3 I2V is the mix. Keep lips out of frame. Quoted VO in the I2V prompt is how you get a mouth you did not cast. If the glass grew logs, throw it out. Do not “fix the fuel” in a second prompt on a drifted still. Recrop or reshoot, then animate again.

FAQ

Can I prompt Vidu Q3 Video to “match this stove” instead of uploading it?

No. A sentence is not a plate. Vidu Q3 Video is text-to-video, 16 credits, not discounted, no still required. It will invent a cabinet, often a wood fire. Upload the stove to Vidu Q3 Image to Video and describe only the auger.

Why Vidu instead of a silent I2V row for the hopper?

Vidu Q3 Image to Video has native audio, 5s / 10s / 15s, 1080p, sixteen credits discounted. Auger is a sound as much as a motion. A silent row will not click unless you score later. Use Vidu when the brief is diegetic feed on a locked still.

Is a wood-stove crackle an acceptable hero for a pellet line?

No. Wood is a different appliance and a different still. Your SKU is the hopper and the click. Captioning a log fire “pellet” is a false SKU.

Do I need a last frame of the hopper empty?

Only when you photographed two approved states of the same unit — lid closed as first, lid open as last — and the travel has to land. A single hero still with a short auger beat is the usual job. Two different appliances is a morph.
