Steam traps sell on the condensate drip scored in Vidu
The SKU is the drip, not a plant walkthrough. Vidu Q3 can carry diegetic condensate. Do not generate a talking steamfitter, and do not invent orifice size in the frame.

A trap listing that ships is the body you photograph and the sound of condensate leaving it. It is not a cinematic boiler house, a constructed fitter walking Cv, or a stamped orifice the model guessed. Photograph the unit. Animate the drip. Overlay the catalog number you actually print.
The drip is the SKU
Buyers know the connection, the orientation, the nameplate. Text-to-video will invent a plant: a pretty header, a generic strainer, a drip that looks like “steam.” That is a different SKU.
If you would not print the still on a cut sheet, do not buy motion. Even light. Trap large in frame. Tag readable. Orifice size, connection, and model string stay off the generate. They belong on type you typed after picture lock, copied from the sheet, not sampled by a model.
The AI product video generator is the product door: reference photos are the contract. Two or three clean angles of the real trap tell the model what must not change. Describe the drip, not a second body. Zoom to 100% on the keeper. Fine text on the nameplate is the first thing a generate loses.
Manufacturers own the factory floor: line rate, sparks, recruitment. HVAC companies own seasonal prep, a tech on a rooftop, a thermal find. This page is neither. It is the OEM trap as a drip. Do not rewrite the plant tour or the contractor checklist. Nearby pages are a facility and a service call. The listing is a SKU.
Do not morph bore, mount, or the arrow on the body. Those are claims. A specifying engineer will notice them before they notice your logo.
Vidu Q3 I2V from the trap still
Vidu Q3 Image to Video turns a static image into a clip. An image is required. Category is image-to-video only. Audio is on. Max output is 1080p, with 360p, 540p, 720p, and 1080p listed. Durations are only 5s, 10s, and 15s. The catalog lists 16 credits and marks the row discounted.
The drip is a five-second action. Write it as one: trap locked, condensate bead forming and falling, camera static, no people. Ten seconds is double. Fifteen is triple. There is no 6s or 8s on this slug. Choose before you generate.
Native audio is why this row belongs on a trap. Diegetic condensate is the tick of a drip, a light hiss, not a plant PA. Write the mix: “single drip, metal tick, no music, no speech.” A silent brief still gets a score.
Prompt only what should move: the bead, a wisp of vapour that does not rewrite geometry. Identity is in the pixels. Crop the still to 9:16 or 16:9 before upload. A trap ad does not need a mouth. It needs the drip.
Vidu Q3 Video is not a plant tour of a number you made up
Vidu Q3 Video is text-to-video: generate from a prompt with the Vidu Q3 engine. Audio is on. Durations 5s, 10s, 15s. 1080p. Catalog credits 16. The row is not marked discounted on the snapshot.
Use it only when you do not have a plate and you accept a generic drip as atmosphere — a schematic motion, not a catalog body. The moment the brief is this inverted-bucket, this disc, this tag, leave T2V. A paragraph will invent orifice size because orifice size is a number models like to letter onto metal.
Do not put “3/4 NPT” or an orifice diameter in the prompt and expect a spec. Overlay the string from the cut sheet. Add a text overlay to a video burns one authored line on the whole file. It does not listen. It does not invent a nameplate. Type after the drip is a keeper.
A plant walkthrough from T2V will not hold your connection. It will also seat a person. A photoreal steamfitter explaining sizing is a constructed expert. Keep the SKU. Drop the tour.
No talking steamfitter
Do not generate a fitter. Do not generate a “typical plant tech” from a Slack photo. A private person used as a style reference is a replica, not a look. A talking twin walking trap selection as advice is a persona you do not need.
Third-person description of what the still shows is not a sizing consult. “Disc trap, overlay: model string from the sheet” is a plate. “Here is the orifice you should spec” from a synthetic mouth is a claim and a face. If you cannot watch the first thirty seconds and tell whether the video is showing a drip or prescribing a size, rewrite until you can.
A real, named applications engineer on camera is a different day and a grant. Generation can still do the body and the titles. It cannot be the consult, and it cannot stamp a number the sheet does not carry. If a buyer holding the real trap would not say “that is our body,” you made a plant film. Run Vidu I2V on the real still. Leave orifice size in type.
FAQ
Can I text-to-video the drip if I describe the trap carefully?
You can. You will recast the nameplate and the connection every take. I2V the unit still so those are not sampled again. T2V is atmosphere, not the listing.
Does Vidu Q3 Image to Video require an image?
Yes. Image-to-video, image required. A text-only generate is Vidu Q3 Video, and it is how you get a plant instead of a SKU.
Where does orifice size go?
Not in the generate. Overlay the string from the cut sheet after picture lock. A model that letters a diameter onto the body sold a number you may not ship.
Can I put a steamfitter in the frame if I never let them talk?
A generated fitter is still a person. Hold the trap. If someone must appear, film a real named person who agreed, or keep the still empty.
