Vidu Studio - AI Video Generator

Vidu Studio Brief Overview
Vidu AI is a web-based AI video generation platform that helps you create short videos from text prompts and images. It supports multiple creation modes—most commonly Text to Video, Image to Video, and Reference to Video—so you can either describe a scene in words, animate a still image, or keep characters/objects consistent across clips by using multiple reference images.
Vidu is often used for short-form content (social clips, ads, and stylized animations), especially when you want fast iterations: generate a clip, tweak the prompt or references, and generate again. The platform is credit-based, meaning each generation uses credits, and you can typically start with a small monthly allowance of free credits to test the tool before upgrading.
Simple How-to-Use
- Sign up / log in on Vidu.com and click Try Vidu (or the main “Get Started” button).
- Pick a mode based on what you want to create:
- Text to Video (prompt-only)
- Image to Video (animate a still image)
- Reference to Video (use references to keep a subject consistent)
- Or choose a Template if you want a one-click effect workflow
- Add your inputs:
- Write a clear prompt (subject + action + setting + style).
- Upload images if using Image/Reference modes (Reference to Video supports multiple references).
- Adjust settings such as resolution, aspect ratio, and how many outputs you want.
- Generate → preview → iterate: refine your prompt or swap references until you get the look you want, then download the result.
Vidu Studio Key Features and Functions
- Text to Video generation: create short clips directly from a written prompt, with style flexibility (including animated looks).
- Image to Video animation: bring a still image to life with motion; useful for quick product motion, stylized scenes, or concept animation.
- First & Last Frame control: upload a starting frame (and an ending frame) to guide smoother transitions between the two.
- Reference to Video (multi-reference): upload up to 7 reference images so people/objects/scenes remain more consistent, which helps when building repeatable characters or branded visuals.
- “My References” library: save characters/props/scenes for reuse, so you don’t have to re-upload and rebuild consistency every time.
- Templates / one-click effects: a library of ready-made template workflows (often optimized for short-form platforms) where you upload an image, choose outputs, and generate quickly.
- AI Sound Effect Generator: generate sound effects (and related audio) from text prompts to help finish clips without external audio tooling.
- Enterprise / API direction: Vidu is also positioned for teams and integrations, including “agent” style workflows aimed at streamlining ad-style production.
Pricing
Vidu commonly uses a credits-per-generation system (higher settings and multiple outputs generally consume more credits). Pricing can change, but the platform is often presented with a free tier plus paid plans such as:
- Free: includes monthly free credits (commonly shown as 40 free credits per month for basic testing).
- Standard (Yearly plan): $8/month with 800 credits.
- Premium (Yearly plan): $28/month with 4,000 credits.
- Ultimate (Yearly plan): $79/month with 8,000 credits.
Vidu also references discounting on yearly subscriptions, and there are typically Enterprise/API options for higher-volume needs.
