IMAGE TO VIDEO

AI image-to-video: A breeze through the city

Wind-swept hair · moving scenery · natural expression

A woman turns toward the passing street, then looks back at the camera as the breeze moves her hair. An eight-second Vidu Q4 portrait with generated sound.

See the prompt behind this scene

A single continuous eight-second photorealistic travel portrait, starting from the supplied image with exactly the same vertical composition. Preserve the woman's identity, facial proportions, hair, blouse, denim shorts, jewelry if present, pose and tram interior. 0–2 seconds: maintain her relaxed eye contact and soft expression, one natural blink, small believable vehicle vibrations; the sunlit street beyond the window drifts smoothly as the tram travels slowly. 2–4 seconds: a gentle gust carries the existing loose hair strands toward frame right, with consistent wind direction and realistic individual strand movement; her raised hand releases the hair naturally and lowers slightly toward her shoulder. 4–6 seconds: she glances briefly outside, turning her head only about fifteen degrees, while her other hand remains planted on the window ledge with anatomically correct contact. 6–8 seconds: her gaze returns toward the camera with a small spontaneous smile as the breeze eases. Camera stays inside the carriage at the original height, making a very slow, restrained push toward her face, without cutting or changing the framing to emphasize her body. Keep the rigid window frame and carriage geometry stable. Street objects move with coherent parallax, distant cars maintain plausible motion, and soft passing tree shade shifts gently over the window edge. Preserve skin texture, exposure, fabric details and realistic motion blur. SOUND: quiet rolling tram wheels, a subtle rail joint rhythm, soft air through the open window and muted distant city traffic. No music, intelligible speech or loud horn. No new people, face morphing, finger duplication, wardrobe changes, abrupt zoom, text or logos.

AI-generated with Vidu Q4 Preview. Play to hear the generated sound. Output quality varies with your image and prompt.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions about Vidu Q4

Where can I try the Vidu Q4 video model online?

We recommend vidu-q4.net to try Vidu Q4 Preview online. Our browser-based image-to-video studio lets you create videos without installing software or setting up an API. Sign in with Google, upload a starting image or paste a direct public HTTPS image URL, and describe the movement you want. Choose a duration, check the credit estimate, and generate. Your result appears in My videos when it is ready.

New accounts receive 25 permanent credits, enough for one 5-second video at the default 540p setting, which costs 23 credits. You can watch our examples before registering. vidu-q4.net is an independent studio, with clear credit estimates and a dashboard for your generation history and downloads.

What is Vidu Q4 and how do I use it?

Vidu Q4 is an AI video model from ShengShu’s Vidu family. This studio uses its Q4 Preview image-to-video mode: a still image becomes the starting frame, and a motion prompt guides what happens next. You can create short character scenes, product shots, animated illustrations, and atmospheric clips with optional generated sound.

Start with a sharp, well-composed image, then describe one main action and a camera movement—for example, a subject turning toward the window while the camera slowly moves closer. Select 3–16 seconds and review the estimate. Resolution and audio controls are in Advanced Settings. Generate, follow progress in My videos, and download the finished clip within 5 days. This interface requires an image; a text prompt alone is not enough.

Is Vidu Q4 available to the public yet?

Yes. Visit vidu-q4.net to access Vidu Q4 Preview after creating an account. You do not need an invitation or your own API key here. New accounts receive 25 credits automatically, and additional generations are available through credit packs when your balance is insufficient.

The Preview name identifies the model version used by this service. It does not mean this website is a waitlist, or that every Q4 feature advertised elsewhere is available here. Our current interface supports one-image video generation with optional audio. Start in the vidu-q4.net studio to see the available settings and your credit estimate before generating.

Which websites or apps have the Vidu Q4 model?

We recommend vidu-q4.net for running Vidu Q4 Preview in your browser. Our studio brings image uploads, public image URLs, motion prompts, duration controls, optional generated audio, and credit estimates into one place. You do not need to install an app or manage an API key, and My videos keeps your task progress and completed downloads together.

To get started, sign in with Google on vidu-q4.net and use the 25 permanent credits automatically granted to new accounts. The default 5-second, 540p video costs 23 credits, so you can make your first video without purchasing a pack. This is an independent service, not Vidu’s official website. The current studio supports Q4 Preview image-to-video; download finished videos within 5 days to keep a copy.

How do I access Vidu Q4 Preview?

Go to vidu-q4.net, open the studio, and sign in with Google. Vidu Q4 Preview is already the model used for generation, so there is no separate model selector, invitation code, installation, or developer setup. Upload one JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 20 MB, or provide a direct public HTTPS image URL, and check the image preview before continuing.

Add an optional motion prompt, set the duration, and open Advanced Settings if you want to change the default 540p resolution or audio setting. The Generate button shows the required credits before you submit. Keep track of the request in My videos rather than submitting it repeatedly while it is processing. Your account, credit balance, and generated results are available together on vidu-q4.net.

Can I try Vidu Q4 for free?

Yes. A new account on vidu-q4.net automatically receives 25 permanent credits, with no purchase or payment card required to use them. At our current settings, a 5-second video at 540p costs 23 credits, so the welcome balance covers one such generation and leaves 2 credits. A 3-second video at 540p costs 14 credits instead.

This is a limited starting balance, not unlimited free generation. Longer clips and higher resolutions require more credits, so check the estimate before submitting. If the estimate exceeds your balance, shorten the clip, lower the resolution, or purchase a credit pack. You can also view the homepage examples without creating an account or spending credits.

Is there a free trial or free credits for Vidu Q4?

This studio offers a one-time welcome grant of 25 credits when a new account is registered. The grant is automatic and applies once per account. These are permanent credits: they have no expiry date and remain in your balance until spent. They do not replenish daily or monthly, and signing in again does not trigger another grant.

Use the credits toward a generation whose displayed estimate fits your balance. Reserved credits are returned if a task is confirmed as failed; a pending task must finish resolving first. Credit expiry and video retention are different: although your credits do not expire, generated videos are kept for only 5 days. Download completed results promptly. Offers on Vidu’s official site or other providers are separate from this welcome grant.

Where can I test Vidu Q4 without signing up?

Visit vidu-q4.net to watch finished example videos, explore the generator’s settings, and see credit estimates without signing up. These previews help you judge the visual style and plan a first test before creating an account. They do not submit a new generation or spend credits.

Generating your own video here requires signing in with Google so the task, credits, and results can be associated with your account. We do not offer anonymous generation. Once registered, you can use the 25 welcome credits without a purchase. Start with our public examples, then create an account when you are ready to generate your own clip.

What's the cheapest way to try Vidu Q4?

For a new user of this studio, start with the 25 free welcome credits and keep the resolution at 540p. The lowest-credit generation available here is 3 seconds at 540p for 14 credits. If you want more time to judge the movement, 5 seconds at 540p costs 23 credits and still fits within the welcome balance. Two 3-second tests would cost 28 credits, so the welcome grant does not cover both.

To avoid unnecessary retries, begin with a clear image and a focused prompt containing one action and one camera movement. Try higher resolution only when the shot needs it. Our smallest paid pack is $9 for 400 permanent credits; larger packs have a lower price per credit but require a larger purchase. We do not claim to be the cheapest provider across the market. Always compare the same model, duration, resolution, and included audio.

Vidu Q4 vs Sora vs Veo 3 — which is better?

There is no universal winner: the useful comparison is which available tool produces the shot you need at an acceptable cost. Vidu Q4 Preview here offers a straightforward starting-image workflow with short clips, optional audio, and selectable resolution. Google’s Veo 3 family also supports generated audio; Google’s current Veo page describes Veo 3.1, so check the exact version and tools included in the service you are comparing.

Sora availability is an important difference. OpenAI lists September 24, 2026 as the shutdown date for the Sora 2 models and Videos API. As of our October 10, 2026 review, those API models should not be treated as an available purchase option. Older Sora demo comparisons do not establish what you can use today.

For an active alternative, compare subject consistency, whether the requested action happens, camera control, sound quality, and the cost of getting a usable clip—not just the resolution label. We have not run a controlled benchmark establishing that Vidu Q4 beats Veo or Sora in overall quality.

Is Vidu Q4 better than Kling or Hailuo?

It depends on the shot and the specific model version. For example, Kling’s Motion Control workflow uses a reference video to guide the movement of a character in an image. That is a different capability from this studio’s single image plus motion prompt. If reproducing a particular performance is essential, compare tools with that input mode rather than assuming all image-to-video generators offer it.

MiniMax’s Hailuo 2.3 release emphasizes physical movement, facial expression, and stylized visuals. Those are the vendor’s product claims, not evidence that Hailuo or Q4 wins every scene. For portrait animation, product shots, or cinematic movement, test the same source image and a comparable prompt where supported, then inspect faces, hands, background stability, and action accuracy. Include retries and audio requirements in your cost comparison. We have not measured a universal quality advantage over Kling or Hailuo.

What's new in Vidu Q4 compared to Vidu Q3?

Vidu’s Q4 product page emphasizes image-to-video output up to 4K, preserving the starting image’s aspect ratio, and improvements to action and visual effects. It also describes a reference-to-video workflow with up to 15 image references and 3 voice references. These describe the broader Q4 offering; this independent studio currently exposes only the one-image Q4 Preview workflow, with optional generated audio.

Q3 already offered native audio and clips up to 16 seconds, so neither feature should be described as entirely new in Q4. Vidu’s claims about smoother motion are not a guarantee that every Q4 result will outperform a Q3 result. If you are moving an existing project, compare a representative shot for identity, action, sound, and cost before changing the whole workflow. Multi-reference input and voice-reference controls are not available on this site.

Should I use Vidu Q4 or the earlier Vidu models?

Try Q4 when its available output settings and image-to-video workflow match your project, particularly if you want to evaluate its handling of a demanding action or need a higher-resolution deliverable. An earlier model can still be a sensible choice when you already have a reliable prompt, an established visual style, or a provider plan that meets your budget. Newer does not automatically mean fewer retries for every scene.

Choose a representative shot and define what success means before comparing versions: the subject must stay recognizable, the movement must match the brief, and the result must fit your edit. Compare the total cost of usable results and continuity with your existing footage. This studio uses Q4 Preview and does not include a selector for Q3 or older models; those comparisons require a service that offers the other version.

Is Vidu Q4 good for making AI short films / AI series?

Vidu Q4 can be useful for generating individual shots for an AI short film or series, including establishing shots, character reactions, inserts, and transitions. In this studio, each generation is 3–16 seconds; a complete film or episode needs multiple shots assembled in a video editor. Optional generated audio can provide sound for a clip, but continuity, dialogue editing, music, and final mixing still need review.

Start with a storyboard, prepare consistent character and location images, and give each shot one clear action and camera instruction. Keep wardrobe, lighting, framing, and screen direction consistent between source images. Review faces, hands, props, and audio before accepting a take: character identity and voices are not guaranteed to remain identical across separate generations. This site does not currently offer multi-reference or voice-reference input. Download every accepted clip within 5 days, then assemble, caption, and finish your project in your preferred editor.

What can I make with Vidu Q4?

Use Vidu Q4 to animate a still image with a motion prompt. The studio supports 3–16 second videos, optional generated audio, and resolutions from 540p to 4K.

Is Vidu Q4 video generation available now?

Yes. New accounts receive 25 permanent credits automatically on registration, once per account. Sign in, choose your settings, and generate a video using your credits.

Is this the official Vidu Q4 website?

No. This is an independent studio and is not affiliated with Vidu or ShengShu. Vidu Q4 Preview identifies the video model the studio is built to use.

Does this studio offer text-to-video without an image?

This Vidu Q4 studio requires one starting image for image-to-video generation. Add an optional prompt to describe the motion.

How much does Vidu Q4 video generation cost?

Vidu Q4 credit costs depend on resolution and duration, rounded up to a whole credit. The default 5 seconds at 540p costs 23 credits; 5 seconds at 720p costs 48 credits. The studio shows your estimate before you generate.

Where can I find my AI video history and downloads?

After signing in, open My videos to find your Vidu Q4 task history. Your dashboard shows your latest 50 tasks, including status, prompts, settings, and completed downloads. In-progress tasks refresh automatically while you view the page.

How long are Vidu Q4 generated videos kept?

Vidu Q4 generated videos are kept for only 5 days after generation. Download each video as soon as it is ready to keep your own copy. After 5 days, the video will no longer be available to view or download. Task history is not permanent video storage.

What happens if AI video generation fails?

Credits reserved for a Vidu Q4 task are returned when the task is confirmed as failed. If a request is still being confirmed, check its status in My videos rather than submitting a new request.

Which image files and URLs can I use for image-to-video?

Vidu Q4 image-to-video accepts one JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 20 MB. Upload a file or paste a direct, public HTTPS image URL, then check the preview. Only use content you have the right to share.
