Why create your next video with Vidu Q4?

Move from isolated images to a scene with character, continuity and sound. Vidu Q4 gives filmmakers, marketers and social creators a practical way to explore performances, product stories and visual ideas from the assets they already have.

Build a scene from up to 15 image references

Bring character portraits, wardrobe details, product shots, locations and a style frame into one brief. Vidu Q4 uses a richer set of visual anchors to keep important subjects recognizable while the scene develops. Give each reference a clear purpose in your prompt, so the model can connect your assets into a coherent story.

Direct character expressions and movement

Describe the glance, gesture or reaction that makes a character feel present in the scene. Pair your image references with clear action and emotion: a hesitant step, a confident product demonstration or a smile after a line of dialogue. Keep each shot focused and refine the prompt to explore different performances while retaining the visual identity established by your images.

Let a short scene unfold across multiple shots

A good clip needs room for an entrance, an exchange and a reaction. Create sequences of up to 16 seconds and describe how the camera moves between those beats. Vidu Q4 can build a scene with changing viewpoints and connected action, giving you more material for a product reveal, a narrative teaser or a short drama.

Animate one image without losing its composition

Start with a product photograph, a portrait or a finished illustration. Describe what moves, how the subject reacts and where the camera should go. Image-to-video keeps the source image's aspect ratio, helping you bring an existing composition to life while preserving the visual direction you already chose.

Create pictures and sound in the same pass

Generate dialogue and a supporting soundscape alongside the visual performance. Lip movement, expressions, environmental sound and scene timing can develop together instead of becoming separate editing tasks. Turn audio off when you prefer to add your own soundtrack, or keep it on for a more complete first cut.

Explore quickly, then finish in 2K or 4K

Try a short draft at a lower resolution to compare the action, lighting and camera direction. Once the idea works, generate it in 2K or 4K for a sharper final version. Vidu Q4 fits product launches, paid social, creator videos and cinematic concepts where both small details and the overall visual impression matter.

How to create a video with Vidu Q4

Choose your visual anchors, describe the performance, and turn the strongest idea into a finished clip.

Choose an image or build your reference set

Use one image for a focused animation, or select Reference-to-Video to combine 1–15 images. Include the characters, product, setting and visual style the scene needs. Choose clear, relevant assets and explain the role of each image in your prompt.

Write the action, dialogue and camera direction

Explain who appears, what happens and how the scene progresses. Assign dialogue to the right character and describe the emotion behind it. Choose a duration from 3–16 seconds, set the output resolution, and select a framing option in reference mode.

Generate, review and refine the best take

Review the character details, motion, pacing and audio together. Adjust one part of the prompt or a reference when the scene needs a clearer direction. Download the take that works, or create related clips with the same assets for a longer edit.

Vidu Q4 FAQ

Practical answers about Vidu Q4 image references, prompts, video length, output quality and creative workflows.

What is Vidu Q4?

Vidu Q4 is ShengShu's AI video model for image-to-video and reference-to-video creation. It combines visual references and native audio to produce expressive scenes. The available provider version is Vidu Q4 Preview.

How many images can I use with Vidu Q4?

Reference-to-Video accepts 1–15 images. Use them to establish the cast, product, environment or visual style. Image-to-Video uses one source image, so choose the workflow that fits the amount of visual direction your scene needs.

How should I write a Vidu Q4 prompt?

Describe the subject, action, scene and camera movement, then add dialogue or emotion when useful. Explain how each reference image should contribute to the result. Prompts can contain up to 20,000 characters; they are optional in image mode and required in reference mode. A focused brief is usually easier to refine than a long list of competing actions.

How long can Vidu Q4 videos be?

The generation workflow on Nano Banana supports whole-second durations from 3 to 16 seconds. Keep the action focused for shorter clips. For a longer story, generate connected scenes with the same references and combine them in your editor.

Does Vidu Q4 support 2K and 4K output?

Yes. Available resolutions are 540p, 720p, 1080p, 2K and 4K. Lower resolutions are useful while exploring an idea; 2K or 4K gives the final version more detail. The credit cost follows the resolution and duration you choose.

Does Vidu Q4 generate audio and lip sync?

Yes. Vidu Q4 can generate sound with the video, including character speech and scene audio, with lip movement tied to the performance. You can also disable audio and finish the sound separately.

What is the difference between image and reference modes?

Image-to-Video animates one source image and preserves its aspect ratio. Reference-to-Video combines several visual assets and a selected aspect ratio. Use image mode for a focused shot and reference mode when the cast or setting needs more guidance.

Can I create a Vidu Q4 video from text alone?

Vidu Q4's image and reference workflows start from visual assets. Add at least one image, then use your prompt to direct the motion and story. If you want to begin with text alone, choose another supported model with a text-to-video mode.

How do I keep characters consistent across scenes?

Reuse clear character images, then keep names, wardrobe and setting details consistent in your prompts. Give each shot one main action. Review each generation before editing the clips together; results can vary between takes.

What can I make with Vidu Q4?

Create product reveals, social videos, brand characters, short drama scenes, animated illustrations and cinematic concepts. A useful brief starts with a small set of relevant assets, a specific action and a clear audience, so the finished clip has a purpose beyond looking impressive.
