Vidu

Vidu suits creators testing a short visual scene or animating a permitted reference image. Its documented platform distinguishes text, image and reference-driven video, with different models for different workflows. Start with one subject and a simple movement. Reference consistency is an intended capability to evaluate, not a promise that faces, objects or physical motion will remain correct throughout the clip.

A practical workflow

1. Select the documented workflow and model.
2. Provide permitted references and a short motion brief.
3. Choose the available duration and aspect settings.
4. Review the full clip before making more versions.

Illustrative input

This example describes a task, not a tested output. Adjust the source material and settings to your own situation.

Animate this original paper boat drifting slowly across a still pond; keep one boat visible and avoid extra objects or lettering.

Result check: Check subject continuity, movement, frame artifacts and whether the requested action stays readable.

Access and alternatives

The public plan page did not expose a readable current allowance table, so pricing is marked unconfirmed. Confirm free-credit renewal, selected-model cost, export resolution, watermarks and usage rights in the account. Developer API capacity has its own terms and should not be inferred from a consumer account.

Choose another workflow when its emphasis fits better: Kling AI for another reference-based video approach; Hailuo AI for a different short-clip generation workflow.
