Vidu

What Is Vidu?

Vidu is an AI-powered creative platform designed for generating and transforming visual content with artificial intelligence. It enables users to create videos from text, images, and visual references, while also providing image generation, creative editing, and real-time interactive video capabilities.

With features such as Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, Reference-to-Video, and Start/End-to-Video, Vidu gives creators more control over how their ideas are turned into moving visuals. Its reference-based generation tools can also help maintain the appearance and consistency of characters, objects, and scenes across different generations.

Vidu has expanded beyond traditional AI video generation with multimodal capabilities that include image and audio generation, digital humans, lip sync, voice cloning, and real-time interactive video experiences. This makes it useful for everything from social media content and advertising to animation, storytelling, and professional video production.

The platform is available for individual creators as well as businesses and teams, with both consumer-facing creative tools and an API platform for integrating Vidu’s generation capabilities into applications and workflows.

What Can You Use Vidu For?

Create AI Videos from Text

Vidu can turn text prompts into AI-generated videos, making it useful for transforming ideas, scripts, and creative concepts into visual content. Users can control settings such as duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and motion to shape the generated result.

With Image-to-Video, Vidu can transform static images into dynamic video clips. This can be useful for animating product photos, artwork, illustrations, and other visual assets for marketing campaigns, social media, and promotional content.

Create Consistent Characters and Scenes

Vidu’s Reference-to-Video capabilities allow users to provide multiple reference images to guide characters, objects, scenes, and visual styles. This makes it particularly useful for storytelling, multi-scene videos, character-driven content, and projects where visual consistency matters.
