Introduction:Vidu is a browser-based AI video generator for text, images, multiple visual references, start-and-end frames, consistent subjects, animation, and sound-enabled clips.
Vidu creates short videos from prompts, still images, or multiple visual references. Its workflows include text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, start-and-end-frame control, animation, templates, and newer models that can generate coordinated visual and audio content.
Reference consistency reduces—but does not eliminate—identity drift and visual errors. Upload only licensed material, obtain consent for people and voices, test motion in short drafts, inspect each frame, verify captions and product details, and confirm the paid plan’s watermark, commercial-use, and resolution terms before delivering client work.

How to use this tool
Select text, image, reference, or start-and-end-frame mode according to the approved assets and the type of continuity required.
Describe subject, motion, camera, composition, duration, resolution, visual style, sound, and exclusions in a bounded shot brief.
Generate a low-cost or off-peak draft first and use multiple references only when their ownership and identity consent are documented.
Confirm the applicable commercial license and disclosure rules, then archive the prompt, source assets, and approved output before publishing.
