Vidu Video Generator — make short videos from text or an image

Turn a prompt or a single image into a short 720p clip in a simple, predictable way.

Vidu Video Generation

Vidu Video Generator lets you create a short video from text (T2V) or from a single image (I2V). Choose the aspect ratio, set the length to 4s or 8s, and adjust how much movement you want. Create a task and then check the result by its ID. The Vidu API uses clear JSON so it’s straightforward to integrate. By default, safety checks are on.

✨ Two modes in one place: Text‑to‑Video (T2V) and Image‑to‑Video (I2V)
✨ 720p output suitable for social posts, pages, and quick previews
✨ Aspect ratios for common placements: 1:1, 16:9, and 9:16
✨ Simple 4s / 8s length presets
✨ Create a task and poll for status via the Vidu API
