Vidu
Vidu is an AI video generator known for reference-to-video, combining several images of characters, objects or scenes into one consistent clip.
About this tool
Vidu is an AI video generation platform whose standout feature is reference-to-video. You upload three or more images of a character, object or scene, including different angles, and Vidu combines those elements into a single video based on your prompt while keeping faces, clothing and props consistent across the shot.
It also supports image-to-video and detailed cinematic prompts specifying timing, framing and sound. Marketers use it to animate product images or change ad backgrounds. Vidu runs on credits: new users receive trial credits, daily logins earn more, subscription credits last 30 days, and purchased credits remain valid for two years.
