Vidu Launches Q4 Preview, Making Flagship AI Video Creation Accessible to Everyone

SINGAPORE, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vidu today launched Q4 Preview, the first public preview of its next-generation flagship model for expressive audio and video. The model delivers improvements in character performance, camera work and visual effects. With launch pricing starting at $0.014/sec, Vidu Q4 Preview brings flagship AI video generation within reach of a broader creative community, opening new possibilities for visual storytelling.

Vidu Q4 Preview supports up to 15 image references, up to 3 audio references, and 2K or 4K output with 10-bit color depth. It is designed for independent creators, small studios and production teams working across narrative and commercial projects.

A production-ready shot often takes more than one attempt. Creators may need to refine a character's expression, compare camera angles or test different openings before a scene works. Vidu Q4 Preview makes that process more affordable.

"Advanced video models should prove themselves beyond carefully selected demos. Every improvement in efficiency should ultimately give creators the freedom to try one more shot or make one more version," said Yihang Luo, co-founder and CEO of Shengshu Technology.

Authentic Acting. Perfectly in Character.

Vidu Q4 Preview is designed to better coordinate facial expression, emotion, body movement and voice. From a quiet glance to a full-scale action sequence, the model aims to make performances feel more natural and give characters greater emotional range.

The model's performance and reference capabilities include:

• Character performance: More nuanced expressions, clearer emotions, and more natural movement.
• Voices that stay in character: Up to 3 reference audio clips to guide voice consistency and emotional delivery.
• Multi-image reference: Up to 15 reference images to define characters, wardrobe, props, products and environments within one creative setup.

These reference capabilities help creators keep visual and vocal choices aligned across a scene. For narrative shorts, that means more deliberate control over how a scene is staged and how its characters perform.

Cinematic Storytelling. Electrifying VFX.

Vidu Q4 Preview improves coordination between camera movements, cuts and on-screen action. In chase scenes, fights and other dynamic sequences, camera work is designed to follow the action more coherently, while explosions, fireworks, particles and other effects fit more naturally into the surrounding scene.

Key improvements include:

• Impactful VFX: Explosions, fireworks, particles, and more—with striking visual impact.
• Masterful camera control: More coherent cuts and dynamic camera movements in complex action sequences.
• Premium visual quality: 2K and 4K support, with improvements in lighting and aesthetics.

With multiple output resolutions, including 2K and 4K, Vidu Q4 Preview supports different stages of production, from early creative tests to high-resolution delivery.

More takes. Better shots.

Launch pricing starts at $0.014/sec, with output options spanning 540p, 720p, 1080p, 2K and 4K. Vidu Q4 Preview enables up to five times as much output for the same budget under comparable output specifications and billing conditions.

For independent creators and small studios, lower iteration costs can mean more opportunities to develop an idea beyond its first attempt. Advertising teams can compare creative concepts and opening sequences; e-commerce teams can develop variations for different products and audiences; and filmmakers can test character performances, storyboards and pacing before moving further into production.

Built with creators, from Day One.

Vidu is releasing Q4 Preview ahead of the full Q4 model, so creators can use it in real creative projects and help shape the final release. Feedback on performance, creative control and everyday production needs will help inform further improvements.

Vidu Q4 Preview reflects Shengshu Technology's commitment to helping more creators explore ideas, refine their work and bring their stories to life.

Vidu Q4 Preview is now available through Vidu's web product and API platform. Launch promotional pricing starts at $0.014/sec. Final pricing, supported resolutions, feature availability and usage terms may vary by plan and region. Full pricing details and promotional terms are available on the official Vidu website.
