   Vidu Q4 Preview debuts with stronger acting, camera work and 0.09 yuan/sec pricing

   Shengshu Technology released Vidu Q4 Preview, a video generation model emphasizing character performance, dynamic camera movement and complex visual effects across 2D and 3D animation scenes. It produces clips up to 16 seconds, supports 2K and 4K output, and accepts up to 15 reference images and 3 reference audio tracks. The company says API image-to-video costs about 0.6 yuan per second at 720p and 0.75 yuan at 1080p, with a two-month launch promotion on the Vidu platform from 0.09 yuan per second, and that a 5-second clip can be generated in as little as roughly 110 seconds. The report also notes Seedance 2.5's push into 30-second long-form narrative and editing control, and Kling's continued focus on realism and fine-grained control.

   Vidu Q4 Preview hands-on: flagship video model from ¥0.09/second

   Shengshu Technology has opened preview access to Vidu Q4 Preview, a next-generation video generation model it positions as a "high-expressiveness flagship" focused on character acting, camera work and complex VFX, starting at ¥0.09 per second. In a hands-on test, ifanr found the model strong on camera direction, subject stability and effects that interact with the scene, with support for up to 15 reference images, three reference audio clips and optional 2K/4K output, but weaker on pacing during sharp emotional turns, style control and the hallucination issues common to AI video. The company says the preview is meant to gather real-world feedback before a full release.

   AI-generated short dramas squeeze Hengdian's live-action actors

   The number of productions shooting at Hengdian World Studios has fallen sharply — the site said in August 2025 that it hosted more than 150 short-drama crews a day, while in May 2026 it reported only 59 crews in one week — and several short-drama actors say they can no longer find work, with some leads paid as little as 150 yuan a day. A DataEye report puts China's AI-generated short-drama (manju) market at 16.8 billion yuan in 2025, 22 billion yuan in January–May 2026 and a projected 40 billion yuan for the full year, with AI-realistic human-style shows accounting for 70% of the category in Q2 2026. A Zhongtai Securities note says AI short-drama costs fell another 80–90% in the first half of 2026 versus 2025, at 200–300 yuan per minute for 2D/3D and 800–1,000 yuan for photorealistic AI, versus 8,000–12,000 yuan for live-action.
