About Vidu

Vidu works by taking a text prompt, an image, or a set of reference images as input and producing a video output in one of several modes: Text to Video, Image to Video, or Reference to Video. Users upload source material through a web interface, optionally set first and last frame images to define a transition, and Vidu generates the motion in between. A feature called My References lets users save characters, props, and scenes so they can be reused across multiple video projects without re-uploading them each time.

The platform highlights several specific capabilities beyond basic generation. Multi-Reference Consistency allows up to 7 images to be uploaded so a person, object, or scene stays visually consistent throughout a generated video. Anime Art to Video is built specifically for animating anime-style artwork into character motion. Vidu Claw is a separate tool positioned for turning ideas into marketing content. The platform also offers pre-built templates for common video formats, such as kissing, hugging, and other effect-driven clips, and includes an Off-Peak Mode that allows unlimited video generation without consuming credits.

Vidu is aimed at independent creators, animation and film studios, and businesses producing marketing or advertising videos. It competes in the AI video generation category alongside tools like Seedance, which is referenced directly in user testimonials on Vidu's own site. Pricing is credit-based: new users receive free credits to generate videos, and additional usage or higher-resolution output is likely tied to paid plans, based on the presence of a public pricing page, though specific paid tier pricing is not detailed on the homepage.

The product is accessed through a web interface and supports resolution output up to 1080p. Vidu also maintains a Discord community for user support and product updates.
