Vidu Q2 Turbo: Text & Image to Video Online
Bottom line
Vidu Q2 Turbo: fast 4/5/8s clips at 720p/1080p from 15 credits, the drafting tier of Q2. Start from a prompt or a still image in the Text to Video tool; VdoBloom shows the exact credit cost before each Vidu Q2 Turbo run, with no separate Vidu account.
Vidu Q2 Turbo is the speed-tuned variant of Shengshu's Q2 generation, built for the iteration loop where the first render is rarely the keeper. It returns 4-, 5-, or 8-second clips at 720p or 1080p, from either a text prompt or an uploaded image, at three aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1) — and adds movement-amplitude and background-music controls not available on Vidu Q1.
Pricing starts at 15 credits for a 4-second 720p clip and scales up to 30 credits for an 8-second 1080p clip: 15/18/24 credits at 720p for 4/5/8 seconds, and 20/22/30 credits at 1080p for the same durations. The exact cost is shown before you generate.
A common workflow is exploring a concept here at 720p, then re-running the winning prompt at 1080p — or handing it to the Q2 Pro sibling — for the final version. It carries a 3.9 rating and MODERATE content filtering. New accounts start with 10 free credits.
What it costs on VdoBloom
15/18/24 credits at 720p for 4/5/8 seconds, and 20/22/30 credits at 1080p for the same durations. Cost is shown before you generate, and failed renders are refunded automatically. New accounts start with 10 free credits.
Q2 Turbo vs Q2 Pro: drafting vs finishing
Both tiers share identical duration, resolution, and aspect-ratio options; the difference is price and rendering treatment. Q2 Turbo costs roughly half of Q2 Pro at matching settings, which makes it the natural tier for iterating on a prompt — testing several variations at Turbo's lower cost, then re-rendering only the confirmed winner on Pro for the final version, keeps total spend down.
Common problems and how to avoid them
Because Turbo is built for speed, its output can trade some fidelity for that turnaround, which is by design rather than a flaw — the fix isn't a different prompt but moving the final render to Q2 Pro once the concept is confirmed. For motion that doesn't match the prompt at either tier, a shorter duration with a single clear action isolates the problem more cheaply than iterating at 8 seconds.
What creators use Vidu Q2 Turbo for
- Rapid prompt exploration, cycling through variations of a shot at 4 seconds and 720p before spending more on finals.
- Filling storyboards and animatics where turnaround matters more than final-grade fidelity.
- Testing whether an uploaded image animates convincingly before re-rendering on Q2 Pro.
- Background-music-enabled drafts for social clips, using the built-in BGM control.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Vidu Q2 Turbo cost?
15 credits (4s/720p), 18 credits (5s/720p), 24 credits (8s/720p), 20 credits (4s/1080p), 22 credits (5s/1080p), and 30 credits (8s/1080p).
Is Vidu Q2 Turbo free?
New accounts get 10 free signup credits, short of the cheapest 15-credit render. Beyond that, generation is paid, with the price shown before you confirm.
How does Q2 Turbo differ from Q2 Pro?
Both share the same durations (4/5/8s), resolutions (720p/1080p), aspect ratios, and text-or-image input. Turbo is tuned for speed and costs less — 15-30 credits versus Pro's 30-100 credits for the same combinations. Pro prioritizes rendering fidelity for final output.
What does the MODERATE label mean for Q2 Turbo?
Standard provider filtering, VdoBloom's middle tier. Typical creative, commercial, and stylized content generates normally; explicit prompts and images are refused.
Can Q2 Turbo animate a still image?
Yes — alongside text-to-video it supports image-to-video, useful for quickly checking how a keyframe behaves before committing to a higher-fidelity render on Q2 Pro.
Vidu Q2 Turbo vs Q1 — which is cheaper?
Q1 is a flat 25 credits per generation (fixed 5s/1080p). Q2 Turbo undercuts that at 720p for any duration (15-24 credits) and roughly matches it at 1080p (20-30 credits), while adding duration choice Q1 doesn't have.
Is Vidu open source?
No — Vidu is Shengshu Technology's proprietary hosted model, not open-weights.
What settings does Vidu Q2 Turbo support that Q1 doesn't?
Movement amplitude and background music controls, alongside variable duration (4/5/8s vs Q1's fixed 5s) and a 720p option (Q1 is 1080p-only).
