The AI video industry is witnessing a monumental shift with the launch of Vidu Q1, a groundbreaking video model by Shengshu Technology. This innovative tool redefines the boundaries of content creation and production efficiency with its game-changing feature, "reference birth," which enables users to generate video assets from their imagination in just one step.

Traditional video production involves a complex process, including scriptwriting, character design, storyboarding, live-action shooting, and post-production editing. Creating a short film can take weeks or even months. However, Vidu Q1's reference birth function disrupts this established model. Users simply upload reference images of characters, props, and scenes, and the system automatically generates multi-element video assets within minutes, achieving "zero storyboard generation."

For instance, by inputting two cowboy character images, two scene images, and two pistol images, Vidu Q1 can directly create a cinematic-quality Western showdown scene, seamlessly progressing through long shots, close-ups, and plot development without any manual storyboard design.

This innovation not only simplifies the creative process but also offers unprecedented flexibility to creators. The uploaded asset library acts as a "virtual production crew," allowing users to freely combine characters, scenes, and props, and seamlessly switch between shots by changing individual elements. For example, a cowboy character can be galloping across the prairie in one second and sitting in a bar, receiving a drink from a lady in the next, with the plot and character relationships naturally progressing.

In terms of commercial applications, Vidu Q1's reference birth function demonstrates strong adaptability. It caters to the strict requirements for subject consistency in e-commerce, advertising, and IP development by supporting up to seven subjects simultaneously and ensuring high consistency in multi-character interactions and product displays. For example, brands can have "Anne Hathaway" endorse various products, from pink Teslas to Mello Ice City milk tea, with product details always accurately reproduced. The cost of a single 5-second 1080P video is only 9 cents, just 1/30 of traditional copyrighted materials. Generating a 48-minute TV drama material costs only about a thousand yuan, far exceeding the cost-effectiveness of custom copyrighted materials.

Technically, Vidu Q1 has achieved comprehensive upgrades in image quality, camera movement, animation style, and more. It supports 1080P high-definition output, with detail presentation comparable to movie-level production. The start and end frame camera movement function can generate master-level camera language with just two images. The animation style is more diverse, with significantly improved high-dynamic motion performance. The newly added AI sound effect function can generate exclusive sound effects with one click and supports multiple sound overlays, covering the entire professional creative process.
