Vidu Q4: image and reference to video in short clips

Vidu Q4 is an AI video generation model that turns a single starting image, or a prompt plus reference pictures, into short video clips.

What it does

• Image to video: animate one starting image into a short clip.
• Reference to video: combine a prompt with at least one reference picture.
• Choose motion, video length and resolution before rendering.
• According to the product page, output goes up to 4K with native audio, and a clip can run up to 16 seconds.

Where it fits

Storyboards, product teasers and social cutdowns where a still frame needs to move. Teams that already produce key visuals can reuse them instead of shooting new footage.

How to evaluate it

Start with one still that has a clear subject and a simple camera move, render a short clip, then compare the result against the source frame. Longer edits still need an NLE, so treat the output as source material rather than a finished cut.
