Make a Vidu-style clip in 3 steps
Name the aesthetic
"Cel shading", "sakuga", "90s OVA grain" — style words steer anime output harder than subject words.
Start from art if you have it
Image-to-video from character art keeps identity; text-to-video invents it.
Generate & download
Clean MP4, no watermark, full rights.
What is Vidu AI?
Vidu is the AI video model from Shengshu Technology, a Tsinghua-rooted Chinese AI lab. It generates short clips from text, images and reference inputs, and its community grew around two strengths: anime-style output that actually respects the aesthetic, and reference-to-video — keeping a character consistent across generations.
The official product lives at vidu.com with a credit system and free daily allowance.
SeedDance doesn't host Shengshu models yet — this page's generator runs comparable engines (Seedance, Kling, Veo), clearly labeled, tuned with anime-forward prompts. When Vidu access lands here, this page gets it.
