Vidu Q4 Preview: 4K Video Generation with 10-Bit Color

The Vidu team has released a preview of the Q4 video generator, designed for creating high-quality content for professional editing. The main focus is on 4K resolution, 10-bit color support, and precise character control.

Generation Capabilities

• Generate videos up to 16 seconds long in 4K resolution.
• Support for Image-to-Video and Reference-to-Video modes using up to 15 reference images.
• Audio-video synchronization: use up to 3 audio references to reproduce voices and create dialogues.
• Improved VFX handling: facial expressions, emotions, lighting, explosions, smoke, and camera switching.

Color Reproduction Features and Pricing

A key feature of the update is 10-bit color support. However, developers have not specified export parameters, the codec used, or HDR support. It is important to note that 10-bit format alone does not guarantee an extended color gamut or HDR content.

During the preview phase, the service offers low prices: starting from $0.014 per second of generation. Until November 30, there is a 30% discount on Image-to-Video and Reference-to-Video features. Three free 10-second clips are available for testing when logging in via a Google account.

The service is already available to users, and the API for developers is active under the identifier viduq4-preview.
