ShengShu opens Vidu Q4 preview, 720p video from about ¥0.6/sec
ShengShu Technology has opened a preview of Vidu Q4, its next-generation flagship video generation model, to creators. In its hands-on test, QbitAI put 720p generation as low as roughly ¥0.09 per second, while the company's MaaS pricing is cited at about ¥0.6/sec for 720p image-to-video and ¥0.75/sec for 1080p, with a two-month limited-time discount on the SaaS side during the preview. The report says the model outputs up to 4K, generates clips up to 16 seconds, accepts as many as 15 reference images and three reference audio clips, and improves facial emotion, camera moves including FPV, and effects that interact with characters and lighting.
Falling per-second video generation pricing lowers the cost of trial-and-error for creators and increases price pressure across comparable models.
