Vidu Q3 vs Q3 Turbo vs Q4: what is the difference?

• Q3 is the full-quality Q3 model. It starts from a prompt or a photo and generates sound with the video, which suits short scenes with ambience or dialogue-style moments.
• Q3 Turbo trades some quality for speed and roughly half the cost at 720p. Use it for drafts and for testing prompts before a final Q3 render.
• Q4 is the newer generation. On VdoBloom it is offered for image-to-video and for reference-to-video, where you give it several images (a character, a product, a location) and it builds one clip that keeps them consistent. It also allows any length from 4 to 15 seconds rather than fixed steps.

What does Vidu cost on VdoBloom?

Prices in credits, from VdoBloom's credit table. Q3 and Q3 Turbo come in fixed lengths; Q4 is billed per second.

Model	5 s (720p / 1080p)	8 s (720p / 1080p)	Longest clip (720p / 1080p)
Vidu Q3 Turbo	20 / 30	28 / 35	16 s: 55 / 73
Vidu Q3	40 / 45	63 / 70	16 s: 125 / 145
Vidu Q4 (image or reference)	31 / 39	49 / 62	15 s: 92 / 116

The Lite pack is 300 credits for $19.50, paid once, and the credits never expire. That is fifteen 5-second Q3 Turbo clips at 720p, or nine on Q4. New accounts get 10 free credits, which is not enough for a Vidu clip but covers cheaper models such as Seedance 2 Mini at 480p (8 credits for 5 seconds). See pricing.

How to use Vidu Q4 on VdoBloom

1. Open Image to Video and choose Vidu Q4 in the model picker.
2. For image-to-video, upload one photo as the first frame. For reference-to-video, choose Vidu Q4 (Reference) and upload up to nine images of the people, products or places you want in the clip.
3. Write the prompt: who does what, where, and how the camera moves.
4. Pick 720p or 1080p and a length from 4 to 15 seconds. In reference mode, also pick the aspect ratio.
5. Check the credit cost on the button and generate. The clip appears in My Creations.

Vidu Q3 is available on both Text to Video and Image to Video.

Vidu's app or a multi-model studio?

Use Vidu's own app if Vidu is the only model you plan to use and you want its newest features on day one. Use the official API if you are a developer building Vidu into a product. A multi-model studio such as VdoBloom makes more sense when you are not sure Vidu is the right model for a shot: you can run the same photo and prompt on Vidu Q4, Seedance 2 and Kling from one upload, compare the clips, and only pay for what you generate. Credits are shared across every tool, so the same balance also covers image editing, upscaling and audio.

When to pick Vidu, and when not to

• Pick Q4 reference mode when one clip has to show several specific things together, such as a character holding a particular product.
• Pick Q3 when you want sound generated with the video at a fixed 5, 8 or 16 seconds.
• Pick Q3 Turbo for cheap drafts.
• Look elsewhere for clips longer than 16 seconds in one go; Seedance 2.5 on VdoBloom renders up to 30 seconds. For a broader look at the field, see our Vidu alternatives guide.
