Zerk fittings are a Vidu click on the nipple you stock
The SKU is the grease-gun bite: Vidu Q3 I2V for the diegetic click, without morphing thread series or VO-ing a maintenance lecture.
The SKU is the grease-gun bite. Vidu Q3 I2V for the diegetic click. Do not morph thread series, and do not VO a maintenance lecture.
A grease-fitting clip that books is the nipple you stock, the coupler that seats on it, the click you can hear when the gun bites. Thread series is the identity: 1/4-28 versus M8×1 is not atmosphere. Photograph the fitting. Animate the bite. Write the click. Do not let the model grow a different thread, and do not put a constructed tech on the part.
The SKU is the nipple you stock
Buyers match iron. Head style, thread, the hex, the check. Text-to-video “grease fitting on a machine, gun clicks” will sample a cousin nipple with a cleaner zinc and a thread you do not sell. That is a pretty five seconds and a failed match.
Photograph square to the fitting you ship. Even light. Thread readable. Coupler in frame if the bite is the motion. Crop the millwright. Crop a competitor’s gun. The still is the print.
Image-to-video starts from that file. Frame one is the SKU. Identity is cheap as a still and expensive as a video retry. Re-describing the thread in the prompt is how the model starts drawing a second thread.
Manufacturers is the plant page — line, QC, recruitment. A zerk OEM can film a real line when engineering has cleared the shot list. The listing that procurement pauses on is still the nipple photo. Hardware startups is a prototype and a promise. This page is a catalog fitting that already exists. Do not rewrite either /for as a talking maintenance class.
Prompt camera and physics only. Coupler seats. Click. A bead of grease if the still already has the gun. Camera locked. No new hex. No new thread. If the still includes a scale or a bag label, keep it. Do not prompt it off and hope the model rebuilds the head.
Vidu Q3 I2V for the diegetic click
Vidu Q3 Image to Video is the motion row: image required, native audio, 5s / 10s / 15s, 1080p, 16 credits, discounted. The still you upload is the still you will watch move. Aspect is inferred from the input image. Write the sound you want — the coupler click, a shop bed, or silence. Audio is on by default. A silent brief still gets a soundtrack you did not choose.
Open the SKU job from the AI product video generator when the fitting has to stay yours while a scene moves around it. This page is the bite on the photographed nipple. Do not feed a finished hero still to a restage and ask it to “just add a click.” It will restage the thread.
The prompt is for travel and sound: how the coupler seats, how loud the click is, what stays still. If you re-describe the product, Q3 will argue with the pixels. Thread pitch, SAE versus metric, and “flush-type” belong off the generate. Overlay them after lock if they must appear.
Start at 5s. Fifteen seconds of the same nipple is a long miss if the thread was already wrong. Identity drift likes the long end. Until the hex holds, stay on 5s.
Do not morph thread series
Thread series is a claim. A buyer with a 1/4-28 gun will notice an M8×1 nipple before they notice your logo. If the still shows a straight fitting, the clip may not finish as a 90-degree. If the still shows a hex, the clip may not grow a button head.
Do not first-last two different series and call it one SKU. Two photos of two fittings is a morph of the catalog. First-last is allowed only when both stills are the same nipple in two states — coupler off, coupler on — and the travel has to land on the seated bite you already shot.
Fine type on a bag is the first thing a generator loses. If the thread callout is the claim and it is postage-stamp size, overlay the string after lock instead of asking the motion model to typeset it. Prompted glyphs on the hex are a miss you regenerate to fix.
Pause on the thread. Same series, same head, same hex? Yes: keep. No: you used text-to-video, or you let Q3 redraw the part. Go back to the still.
Do not VO a maintenance lecture
A constructed technician walking “how often you should grease” is a synthetic expert on a part. You do not need that mouth to sell a nipple. The bite is the product. If a human must speak, it is a real named person on a different day, on a file that is not pretending to be the fitting.
Because Vidu Q3 lists native audio, quoted lines in the prompt can become a bed. That is the click, not a lecture. Write “coupler seats, metallic click, no voice.” If you write “tech explains PM schedule,” you may get a mouth the still never had. Keep lips out of frame. Score a lecture later, off-screen, or do not add one.
Do not:
- Prompt “engineer explains lubrication interval over the fitting.”
- Use lipsync on a generated face holding “your” zerk.
- Let Q3 typeset the thread callout into the hex.
Silent bite plus a diegetic click. Overlay the spec. If a human must speak, that human is on payroll and on a different take. The nipple photo stays first.
FAQ
Can I prompt Vidu to “match this fitting” instead of uploading it?
No. A sentence is not a plate. Q3 I2V requires the image. Upload the nipple you stock and describe only the bite and the click.
Does Q3 add a shop bed if I do not write one?
Native audio is on by default. Write the mix — click, quiet bench, or silence — or you will get a soundtrack you did not choose. Do not file a bug on a bed you left to the model.
Where does the thread callout go if it cannot be in the prompt?
Type it. Overlay after picture lock. Series change; the hex should not. Prompted glyphs are a miss you regenerate to fix.
Why not a talking presenter for “explaining” grease?
Because the bite is visible on the photographed nipple, and the interval is a number. A constructed tech is a second asset you do not need. Hold the fitting. Caption a human only if a real human is speaking.
