Vidu AI

Vidu AI is a web-based AI image and video generation platform for independent creators, marketers, teams, and enterprises that need fast production of short-form visuals from prompts and references.

Key capabilities include:

• Text-to-Video for generating videos from written prompts, with support for cinematic motion and semantic understanding.
• Image-to-Video to animate still images into dynamic clips, including first and last frame control for smoother transitions.
• Reference-to-Video for character/object consistency, combining up to 7 reference images and saving reusable assets in My References.
• Templates for common social video formats (for example hugging, kissing, outfit, and effect styles), plus bulk generation workflows (CSV and API) and 1080p upscaling.

Pricing: Freemium, includes free credits (and an off-peak free generation mode per the website) with paid options.

Notable for its focus on fast generation (often seconds per clip per the website), consistent multi-entity reference control, and support for producing 1080p videos up to 16 seconds, making it relevant for marketing content, social media creative, and rapid concepting for animation and film workflows.
