Vidu AI

Vidu AI is a tool that turns text and images into videos fast.

Visit This Site

Overview

Built by Shengshu Technology with Tsinghua University Vidu is made to speed up video creation for all sorts of uses - film animation ads you name it.

Vidu AI works in three ways:

  • Text to Video. Type in a description and get a matching video.
  • Image to Video. Feed it a picture and watch it move.
  • Reference to Video. Keeps characters objects and backgrounds consistent using a reference.

One of its big claims? Speed. Vidu AI says it can spit out a video in lower resolution in just 10 seconds. And it's not just about being fast—it understands meaning quite so the results actually match what you asked for in your prompt. Plus it's designed to make motion look natural no stiff robotic movements.

The latest update from Vidu, bringing forth the multiple elements videos powered by Q1 model is on another level. The crispiness, the fidelity, the details preservation is amagzing and a big leap from company's previous quality.

Prompt:
A woman in 1940s workwear sits on the edge of a steel I-beam high above a sprawling city. She wears a light blue denim shirt with rolled-up sleeves, gray work pants, lace-up boots, white gloves, and a red polka-dot bandana. Seated in a three-quarter view, her body faces left while her gaze looks ahead, giving her a thoughtful, stoic air. Her feet rest firmly on the beam, arms on her thighs, exuding quiet confidence. Positioned in the lower third of the frame, the beam stretches beneath her, with a vast cityscape dropping away behind, emphasizing the dizzying height and scale. @image1

Image output
Vidu's new ref-to-image model. The likelihood is clearly there, it's not bad, but obviously details need perfecting.
Prompt:
Raw footage of a 22-year-old male influencer mid-flight, strapped into a parachute, screaming with excitement as he soars through open sky. Loose close-up on his face, distorted slightly by a fisheye lens, every feature alive with adrenaline — eyes wide, mouth open, wind tearing at his cheeks. The camera captures the moment with crisp, candid energy, golden sunlight flickering across his face as he shouts into the sky, clearly playing it up to impress his followers. Clouds rush past, the earth a distant blur, while his vibrant jumpsuit flaps wildly in the wind. A raw, unscripted burst of thrill, ego, and freedom, frozen in flight.

Vidu Q1
for link to original generation.
Prompt:
“ECLIPSE” – Lunar Shadow Sequence. Camera & Setting: A timelapse begins from a serene dark-turquoise ocean reflecting moonlight symmetrically framed by mountains on both sides. The camera locks on the moon as an eclipse begins. The stars swirl subtly across the bright starry sky with moving darkish clouds. VFX Text Appearance: As the moon darkens, its glowing edges form a halo that flickers and dances. Shadows creep across the landscape. Reflections dance in the ocean water, stars shimmer. The word “ECLIPSE” emerges in front of the eclipsed moon stretching outside its radius. Cinematic, futuristic title text spelling “ECLIPSE”, centered in the night sky. The font is a thin, glowing, neon-like sans-serif with extended horizontal lines. Smooth, rounded edges. Letters slightly spaced out, minimalist, sci-fi look. The glow subtly matches the moonlight. Highly stylized, modern typography with a soft reflection on a dark surface. Just before totality, the entire scene plunges into darkness. A faint corona shoots around the dark moon.

Vidu can animate these for sure. I like how his eyes blink. Might've been even better with more movement though.
Vidu Q1
Prompt:
A woman in a vibrant swimsuit floats mid-air, completely still, arc shot. Woman's expression serene despite the chaos unfolding around her. One hand holds a colorful cocktail, the other clutches a straw hat, while her hair drifts outward in perfect suspension. Surrounding her, a cataclysmic wave crashes — but time is slowed to a crawl. Droplets, debris, and chunks of rock hang mid-air, frozen or drifting in hyper-slow motion. The camera does arc shot smoothly around her in bullet-time, capturing every suspended detail from dynamic angles. A flock of seagulls is suspended around her, wings spread mid-flap. Lightning forks across the dark sky and disappears. The scene balances lighthearted wonder with awe and frozen devastation — a surreal, sculpted moment carved out of time.

Vidu Q1

Vidu Q1
Prompt:
A static shot of a quaint urban street, where three anthropomorphic animal characters sit on a bench in stylish leather jackets. In timelapse, the scene transitions from morning to dusk the lighting softening, as pedestrians quickly move in the background, hinting at the passing day. The vibrant colors of the characters’ outfits contrast against the brick pavement, creating a whimsical contemplative vibe, emphasizing the stillness of the anthropomorphic animal trio sitting amidst the super dynamic urban life around in a timelapse scene.

Vidu Q1
Prompt:
A muscular man stands confidently, arms crossed, wearing a bold purple sweatshirt emblazoned with "PUNCH ME". Suddenly, a fist strikes him from the left, launching him into disbelief. In slow motion, his skin ripples, and strands of hair flutter as the impact unfolds, a shockwave running through his body. The camera captures every nuance of his expression—surprise shifting into resilience, his eyes blazing with intensity. Ambient light catches the sweat glistening on his skin, while debris swirls in the air, crafting a gritty, dynamic atmosphere.

Vidu 2.0 model 'sort of, kind of' does the punch. Interestingly, his outfit's print comes out undistorted once his arms move.
Prompt:
Double Dolly shot: A fierce and determined woman stands in the center of a dusty Western street, her expression focused and intense as she points a shotgun towards an unseen foe. The camera glides backward, while the town around her drifts ominously, buildings and debris swirling in the distance. She remains unnaturally steady, her hair swirling in a slight breeze, amplifying the tension of the moment. This visual dissonance captures her psychological struggle, symbolizing her inner strength. The harsh sunlight casts long shadows, enhancing the gritty texture of her rugged attire and the arid landscape.
