From the source
Setup. Vidu is a web app at vidu.com with free starter credits for every user (per its FAQ). Developers use the separate Vidu Open Platform API, billed in credits. Q4 Preview API rates are in our price tracker.
Inputs. Three modes: Text to Video; Image to Video (a still image, with optional first and last frames); and Reference to Video (three or more images of a character, object or scene, combined by prompt, with saved 'My References' for reuse). Creators on the page also mention Storyboard, Off-Peak Mode and a Vidu CLI.
What the source says about results. The FAQ cites outputs up to 1080p on the web app, and Vidu pitches 2D anime and character expression. Testimonials on the page praise animation quality, dialogue delivery and low cost per try (one user notes Q3 at 6 credits for 5 seconds). These are user testimonials, not our tests.
