What You Can Create with Vidu Q4

  • •
    Expressive Character Acting: Coordinate facial reactions, body language, and lip movement so characters communicate more than motion.
  • •
    Image and Voice References: Use visual references to guide subjects and settings, with optional audio samples to guide character voices.
  • •
    Cinematic Camera Movement: Describe a tracking shot, orbit, close-up, or change of viewpoint as part of your scene direction.
  • •
    Detailed Visual Effects: Build scenes with fire, smoke, particles, and energy effects that contribute to the action.
  • •
    Synchronized Sound: Generate dialogue and sound effects alongside the picture, or switch audio generation off for a silent clip.
  • •
    Flexible Output Resolution: Choose from 540p through 4K to match the detail you need for a draft or finished video.

Turn a Still into a Vidu Q4 Scene

Start with an image that establishes your subject and composition. Describe what moves, how the camera responds, and what should be heard. Vidu Q4 develops the still into a short sequence, with optional sound generated alongside the action.

Keep Vidu Q4 Characters and Voices Consistent

Combine reference images to guide a character, a setting, or a visual style. Add up to three MP3 samples when a recognizable voice matters, and describe the dialogue and emotional tone. Vidu Q4 uses these inputs to bring visual identity and spoken performance into the same scene.

See Vidu Q4 Acting, Camera Motion, and Effects Together

A convincing scene needs more than a moving subject. Facial reactions, shifts in framing, and effects can each help tell the story. This official Vidu Q4 showcase brings those capabilities together, illustrating the range of short scenes you can explore with image guidance and scene direction.
