What is Vidu?
Vidu is an AI video generation platform launched by Shengshu Technology. Its official website claims it to be the first domestically developed pure self-developed AI video generation model in China. Its core selling point is maintaining subject consistency when converting text and images into dynamic videos. The platform has shortened the creation path to the extreme — the official website states that "creative videos can be generated in 3 steps" — and has supplemented images, Agents, and APIs beyond videos, covering different usage scenarios from personal creation to team collaboration. The homepage mainly promotes model versions such as Vidu Q3 and Vidu S1, and the entry points are categorized into reference-to-video, image-to-video, text-to-video, reference-to-image, and text-to-image.
Who is it for?
- Creators of animated short films and manhua dramas who need multi-reference capabilities to fix characters and art styles
- Chinese style, 2D animation and conceptual visual creators who value subject consistency and shot performance
- E-commerce and social media teams that need to quickly produce short video clips within 16 seconds
- Developers who want to integrate video generation into their own products can use the API open platform
- Users who need mobile creation and team collaboration can keep track of progress at any time using the app
Key features
6Reference-to-Video Generation
The official website prioritizes the multi-reference capability in the product, allowing multiple reference materials to be provided at once to constrain characters and scenes. This is the main method for Vidu to maintain subject consistency and also the hallmark that distinguishes it from most similar tools.
Text-to-Video and Image-to-Video
Generate video clips from a single sentence or an image, and combining reference materials can make the results closer to the set requirements.
Film and Television Narrative & 16-Second Audio-Video Synchronization
The "Comprehensive Upgrade of Film and Television Narrative" section on the official website indicates support for 16-second audio-video synchronization, and also mentions intelligent shot cutting and one-click direct output, covering two scenarios: social media content and e-commerce materials.
Real-time Interactive Model
The official website claims it is the world's first real-time interactive model, with millisecond-level response, generating content while speaking, and synchronizing interaction with the screen.
Vidu Agent and AI Templates
It provides an intelligent collaboration entry from a single sentence to a complete work, as well as out-of-the-box AI templates, lowering the starting threshold.
API Open Platform and App
In addition to the web version, it provides APIs for product integration, and mobile apps are available to support collaborative creation anytime and anywhere.
How to use Vidu
- The "User Voices" section on the official website collects evaluations from multiple AIGC directors, among whom it is repeatedly mentioned that "generating videos with multiple references" has freed them from the visual drift dilemma of image-to-video generation — if you are also troubled by character consistency, preparing a complete set of reference images before generation is far more effective than repeatedly generating new content.
- When you want to add a narrative feel, you can cooperate with intelligent shot cutting and one-click direct output.
- first complete a short film within 16 seconds, and then consider splicing and extending it, which is easier to get results than pursuing a long duration right away.
- The personal version and enterprise version packages have different positioning.
- Before team procurement, it is recommended to compare the terms based on the actual concurrency.
- Before publishing secondary creations, be sure to confirm the authorization scope of materials and music.
