Vidu Q4 Features

What the Q4 Preview adds over earlier Vidu models

  1. 01

    Image to Video up to 4K

    Animate a single photo, illustration or product shot into a 3 to 16 second clip at 540p, 720p, 1080p, 2K or 4K, guided by an optional prompt for motion and camera.

  2. 02

    Reference-Driven Scenes

    Upload up to 12 reference images for characters, wardrobe, props, products and locations, then refer to them in the prompt so each element keeps its look across the shot.

  3. 03

    Voice References

    Add up to 3 audio clips as voice or sound references so a character keeps a steady voice, a feature ShengShu introduced with the Q4 Preview.

  4. 04

    Native Synchronized Audio

    Dialogue, ambience and effects are generated together with the picture in one pass. Switch audio off when you only need silent footage for your own edit.

  5. 05

    10-bit Color at 2K and 4K

    The 2K and 4K tiers render in 10-bit color, which leaves more room for grading and keeps gradients in skies and skin tones smooth.

  6. 06

    Stronger Acting and Motion

    ShengShu reports better facial expressions, body movement, camera transitions and effects such as explosions and particles compared with Vidu Q3.

  7. 07

    Top-3 Image-to-Video Model

    At launch, Q4 Preview placed 3rd on Artificial Analysis' image-to-video arena with 1179 points, 123 points above Vidu Q3 Pro.

  8. 08

    Pay per Second

    Credits follow resolution and length only: 4.5 credits per second at 540p up to 39 at 4K. A 5 second 540p clip costs 23 credits.

How to Use Vidu Q4 for Image-to-Video

Bring a still image to life with motion and sound in three steps

  1. 01

    Upload Your Image

    Add a clear photo, illustration or product shot as the first frame. For multi-character scenes, switch to Reference to Video and upload up to 12 images and 3 voice clips.

  2. 02

    Describe the Motion

    Write what should move, how the camera travels and any spoken lines. The prompt is optional for image-to-video, and prompt expansion can enrich short instructions.

  3. 03

    Pick Quality and Generate

    Choose 540p to 4K and 3 to 16 seconds, keep audio on for sound, then generate. A 5 second 540p clip costs 23 credits.

Vidu Q4 is the latest video model from ShengShu Technology. The current release is Vidu Q4 Preview, launched on October 7, 2026, with image-to-video and reference-to-video generation, native audio, clips of up to 16 seconds and output up to 4K.
Not yet. The Q4 Preview supports image-to-video and reference-to-video only. To start from text alone, use Vidu Q3 on Dreamega, or generate a first frame with an image model and animate it with Q4.
On Dreamega, reference-to-video accepts 1 to 12 images plus up to 3 audio clips. Vidu's own app lists up to 15 images; the API we use accepts 12. Mention references in the prompt by their order, for example the woman in image 1.
Both modes offer 540p, 720p, 1080p, 2K and 4K, with any whole-second length from 3 to 16 seconds. Reference-to-video also lets you choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 or 3:4.
Pricing depends only on resolution and duration: 4.5 credits per second at 540p, 9.5 at 720p, 12 at 1080p, 19 at 2K and 39 at 4K, rounded up. 540p is available on the free plan; higher resolutions need Pro.
On Artificial Analysis' image-to-video arena, Q4 Preview scored 1179 at launch versus 1056 for Q3 Pro. Q3 still covers text-to-video, while Q4 adds 4K, 10-bit color and voice references. Features may change before the full Q4 release.
