Vidu Q4

What is Vidu Q4?

Vidu Q4 is the newest AI video model from ShengShu Technology, released as a preview on October 7, 2026. Unlike models that add sound afterwards, Vidu Q4 generates picture and audio together, so dialogue, sound effects and lip movement come out of the same generation.

This site gives you Vidu Q4 in a simple web workspace. Use reference-to-video to blend up to 12 images and 3 voice clips into one consistent scene, or image-to-video to bring a single photo to life. Every Vidu Q4 clip runs 3 to 16 seconds and can be rendered from 540p up to 4K.

What you can make with Vidu Q4

Vidu Q4 shines wherever a character, product or voice has to stay the same from shot to shot.

  1. AI short dramas

    Keep the same cast, costumes and voices across episodes. Vidu Q4 cuts between shots inside one clip, so a scene plays out like a real edit.

  2. Ads and marketing

    Turn a product photo and a brand voice into a polished spot in 4K, then make vertical and square versions for every channel.

  3. E-commerce product videos

    Show a product from several angles with logos and colors kept intact. Upload reference shots and let the model handle the camera.

  4. Social media clips

    Create 9:16 videos with dialogue and sound already in place, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts without extra editing.

  5. Film pre-visualization

    Test performances, storyboards and pacing before a shoot. It gives directors a fast way to see and hear a scene.

  6. Animated photos

    Bring portraits, artwork or travel shots to life with image-to-video, keeping the original framing while adding natural motion.

Vidu Q4 prompt tips

Vidu Q4 follows long, specific prompts well. These habits give the most reliable results.

  1. Lock the subject

    Say which reference is the main character and list what must not change: face, outfit, logo, colors.

  2. Write the shots in order

    Split a longer clip into timed beats, such as 0–3s close-up, 3–7s tracking shot. Vidu Q4 follows the sequence and cuts between shots.

  3. Direct the camera

    Use film language: close-up, low-angle tracking, slow push-in, hard cut. Clear camera notes give smoother motion.

  4. Describe the sound

    Spell out the dialogue, background noise and whether you want music. Add a voice clip to keep a character's voice consistent.

  5. Say what to leave out

    Exclusions such as "no extra people, no captions" keep the frame clean and on-brief.

  6. Draft low, finish high

    Test ideas at 540p or 720p to save credits, then render the final version in 1080p, 2K or 4K.
