Vidu is a leading AI video generation platform developed by Shengshu Technology in collaboration with Tsinghua University, specializing in cinematic text-to-video and image-to-video creation. Powered by the Q1 model and the latest Vidu 2.0, it produces high-fidelity 1080p videos up to 8 seconds with smooth dynamics and exceptional physical realism. Its standout Reference-to-Video feature allows creators to upload up to seven reference images of characters, objects, and environments, locking multi-entity consistency across scenes — a capability previously limited to high-end studios. Additional features include First-Last Frame control for precise scene direction, style transfer, anime-quality stylization, and 4K upscaling. Vidu also offers an API for developers and supports commercial use across creative production, advertising, animation, and short-form video. With one of the fastest generation pipelines on the market (some clips render in under 30 seconds) and competitive pricing, Vidu has become a popular alternative to Runway, Kling, and Sora for creators who need reliable subject consistency without complex prompt engineering.
