Product preview

Overview

Vidu emerged from Shengshu Technology's research lineage and quickly earned a reputation in two niches: speed and anime. Generations return in well under a minute for short clips, and its anime output preserves character identity better than most generalist models — a direct result of its reference-to-video system, which conditions generation on uploaded character sheets rather than prompt descriptions alone.

The free tier is unusually usable for iteration, paid tiers add 1080p, longer durations and commercial rights, and an API serves studios building video into products. It sits alongside Kling and Hailuo as the current Chinese-model vanguard — if your content leans stylized or character-driven, Vidu deserves a slot in the rotation; for photoreal hero shots, the frontier Western models still lead.
