Vidu, the generative video platform from Beijing-based ShengShu Technology, has rolled out an upgrade with the launch of Vidu Q1. The browser-based generative video model turns two still images and a text prompt into a five second, 1080p cinematic clip. Its “First-to-Last Frame” system guides motion smoothly between unrelated frames, giving solo creators access to transitions that once required pro VFX teams. Vidu Q1 generates 48 kHz background music and sound effects via text, supports ten second multitrack layering, and responds to timestamped cues, eliminating the need for external sound libraries. Founded in March 2023, ShengShu Technology is a Beijing-based AI startup specializing in multimodal large language models and creative tools for film, advertising, and digital creators.
