Vidu is an AI video generator that supports generating videos from text prompts, images, and reference materials, and provides fast workflows suitable for social content, advertising, and storytelling. Its official website positions it as an "all-in-one video flagship," emphasizing enhanced expressiveness, improved generation efficiency, and reduced creative costs.
In terms of main capabilities, Vidu provides basic generation methods such as text-to-video and image-to-video. Its image-to-video feature can turn static images into AI videos with motion and animation, and supports setting the first and last frames of a video. The reference-to-video feature allows users to upload reference images of three or more objects, characters, or scenes, and Vidu can combine the elements into a seamless video according to the prompt, and supports uploading different angles of a character or object to ensure consistency. The platform also provides a "My References" feature, which can save characters, props, and scenes for reuse, improving creative efficiency and video quality. In addition, Vidu provides capabilities such as storyboarding, character reference, Vidu CLI, and Off-Peak mode. Some models can generate videos with sound and have strong prompt understanding. The official website also mentions a real-time model claimed to have "millisecond-level response," as well as an intelligent Agent that can collaboratively generate complete works from a single-sentence input.
In terms of usage, Vidu provides an integrated collaborative creation app and a multimodal creation toolkit, and users can use it via the web. Plans are divided into personal and enterprise editions, with the personal edition empowering independent creation and the enterprise edition supporting efficient team collaboration. The official website also provides a Discord community and help center as support channels. Specific operating steps, methods for switching model versions, API integration methods, and other details are not yet provided.
In terms of applicable scenarios, the official website lists creators making viral videos such as kissing, hugging, and fighting; film studios and animation teams producing studio-grade 2D animation and cinematic content; and enterprises using image-to-video to animate product images or using reference-to-video to change advertising backgrounds to enhance marketing video effects. Creator reviews also mention uses such as animation expressiveness, action scenes, expressions and subtle movements, non-verbal details, character consistency, converting realistic characters into anime style, and selfie POV videos.
