Vidu AI is a text-to-video/image-to-video tool that creates short videos (16 seconds) in 1080p resolution. Vidu AI uses U-ViT architecture that combines diffusion models with transformer architectures for consistent video frames.

Main Features
1. Text-to-Video Generation
This Vidu AI feature allows users to enter text prompts. Then the AI analyzes and creates a short, realistic video based on the details. The videos are relatively long in length (16 seconds) when stacked against other AI tools, which can only provide a few seconds.
Thanks to this extended length, the video can detail more narrative, dialogue, and visual flow without stitching together multiple clips. This leads to smoother and more cohesive videos.
Note: Vidu AI also creates animations and video ads.
2. Image-to-Video Conversion
Vidu AI animates static images by applying elements of a moving video. It uses the visual details of the provided image as a foundation and reference point. For example, a portrait can be animated to have subtle movements like blinking, head turning, and walking. Yet, it keeps the subject core intact.
The image-to-video prompting also has a sub-feature, an AI kissing generator. This feature takes two images of two people and converts them into a short romantic video.
I tested out this feature by going with a default prompt on the platform. The generation process took significant time to complete, but the resulting video had a high degree of prompt adherence. The quality was also great.
3. High Resolution Output (up to 1080p)
Vidu AI produces videos in full high definition (1080p) with crisp, clean visuals for professional use. The HD output ensures that details (facial features, textures, and lighting) appear sharp and appealing. This widens its applications to settings like social media that depend on visual quality for perception.
4. Reference-to-Video
Users are allowed to provide 3+ reference images for characters, objects, and environments. Vidu AI then generates a video using that as a guide so the subject stays consistent in pose, style, and look.
The Bottom Line
Vidu AI is a good tool that excels in concepts in video generation that other tools may struggle with. This includes frame consistency and extended durations.
