1. Vidu Launches Q1 Model: Better Quality Video Generation at Same Cost
🔑 Key Details:
– Higher Quality: Vidu Q1 model offers longer duration and higher resolution video outputs while maintaining the same per-second cost as the 2.0 model.
– Cost Efficiency: 5-second 1080p videos require only 30 credits under standard plans, with “quality improvement without price increase”.
– Accessibility Options: Off-peak mode allows unlimited generations with 0 credits, plus 10 free AI sound effect generations per user.
– New User Promotion: First-time users can claim up to 400 free credits to experience the platform.
💡 How It Helps:
– Content Creators: Higher quality video outputs without additional costs enable more professional-looking results.
– Casual Users: Zero-credit off-peak mode and free trial credits make AI video creation accessible to everyone.
– Mobile Users: Cross-platform availability with updated Android (2.0.3) and iOS (2.0.1) apps supporting the new Q1 model.
🌟 Why It Matters:
Vidu’s approach of “technological inclusivity” democratizes AI video creation by improving quality while maintaining affordability. This strategy positions them as a user-friendly option in the competitive AI video generation market, potentially expanding their user base across both professional and casual creators.
