Video from a reference image is what sets it apart. Close to Kling and Hailuo, with no forced ranking of image quality.

How to finish this job in mainland China

Where to open it. The China site vidu.cn opened. https://www.vidu.cn/

What it is good for. Video from a reference image is what sets it apart. Close to Kling and Hailuo, with no forced ranking of image quality.

What it is not. Not an overall winner over Kling or Hailuo. Reference-image consistency is the reason to try it, not a score.

Note

Vidu’s Chinese site is vidu.cn. The page lists reference-to-video, image-to-video, text-to-video, and subscription plans. The international site vidu.com is another entrance. This list uses the site in China. It is close to Kling and Hailuo on short shots. If character reference is the main need, try Vidu and Kling once each. This list will not use a score to say who wins.

Close

Close to Kling and Hailuo. Consistency with a reference image is the reason to use it, not a win across the board.
