Vidu

Vidu generates short video clips directly from a text prompt, an image, or a reference input, with audio synced to the visuals in the same generation pass rather than as a separate step. Multi-entity consistency uses reference images to keep a character or object looking the same across multiple shots, which matters for anything beyond a single throwaway clip. The model library spans several motion styles, with particularly strong output for anime and stylized animation alongside more standard cinematic realism.

Consumer subscriptions run from 800 credits a month up to 8,000, while a separate pay-as-you-go API prices access to specific model versions like Vidu Q3, Q2, and Q1 by credit, resolution, and clip duration. Credits are consumed even on failed generations and purchases carry a strict no-refund policy, both worth budgeting around before committing to a higher tier. Vidu suits creators who want distinctive anime-style output or need an API-first way to add video generation to another product.
