Comment by Noriyang
Vidu stands apart from other generative AIs. What is most impressive is that it was designed from a “creator’s perspective. When you actually use Vidu, you will find that it has a lot of tools that can satisfy the itch of “I wish it had this kind of function” or “It would be helpful if it could be operated in this way,” which creates an environment in which you can concentrate on your creative work. In addition to dramatically improving production efficiency, Vidu is not just a labor saver, but also offers the flexibility to expand the range of expression and give form to ideas that have never existed before. In this sense, I feel that Vidu is evolving the very nature of AI.
Comment from Arya the Fairy
VIDU’s strength lies in the fact that it was one of the first in the industry to introduce reference functions. It is characterized by its consistency and the vivid expressions and expressiveness of its characters. The realistic expressions that seem to come to life are unique to VIDU and are very useful.
Comment from AyuNeo
Recently, I feel that more and more people are becoming interested in video generation. In the future, I think that many people would like to try their hand at client work as well as simply creating artwork. Also, by participating in this event, I was able to experience firsthand that VIDU is attracting attention from many people. We also usually provide AI training to companies on how to introduce AI, and we recommend VIDU for that as well.
Video produced with Vidu is also available.
At the exchange meeting, a video produced by Mr. Da Yu was shown.

In a desert where resources are scarce and many humans are cyborgs, a brave female protagonist infiltrates a creature’s stronghold and brings back a jewel. The film depicts the powerful movements of the creature, the dust flying in the desert, and the interior of the car while it is running. Of course, if you look at the details, you can feel some discomfort, but it is a dream come true to think that even if you have no artistic ability, you can still complete a work of art to this extent. Moreover, Vidu and AI are constantly evolving.
This video is the first episode of the “Paradox of the Observer” series created by Chinese animation creator Jiushu 特效. The animation received a great response immediately after its release and has attracted attention with more than 3 million views in total, but only one person produced this animation. The use of Vidu has enabled a “one-person studio,” which would have been impossible in the traditional animation production field.

As you can see from the video, the quality of the drawings and animation is on par with the best Japanese domestic animation. Jiushu特效 makes full use of Vidu’s advanced generation features to reproduce the textures and worldviews typical of Japanese animation. The quality of the insects and cats at the beginning of the film is also outstanding, and the composition is brilliant in drawing the viewer into the world at once.
In this way, we have entered an age in which a work can be completed even without the technology to give it shape with one’s hands, as long as one has imagination. The future of video production may require a different perspective and skill set.
Vidu will usher in a new era of animation production.
Over the years, Japan’s animation content industry has won acclaim around the world. At the same time, however, problems have been pointed out, such as the harsh working environment for creators.
Vidu is addressing the issues facing the industry from the creators’ perspective. The software is intuitive to use for creating animations from text and images, and can also automatically generate background music and ambient sounds. More than 30 templates are available, including animated, walking, flying, and rotating templates, making it easy for anyone to experiment with video generation.
