Vidu's newest video model. Its official page says picture and sound are generated together (dialogue, narration, effects, music), clips run up to 16 seconds, and output supports English, Japanese and Chinese. This site found no exact credit cost per generation on Vidu's web subscription; fal sells an API under the name "Vidu Q3", billed per second.
Cheapest place to buy it at your volume
50 seconds of generation a month: 10 videos × 5 seconds each × 1 (average attempts per video). At least 720p, no audio needed. Change usage ↗
| Where to buy | Setting | How to buy | Per month |

Does the cheapest way to pay change with volume?
One line per channel: an API is a straight line; a subscription is the cheapest plan that covers the month, so it climbs in steps and stops past the largest plan (extra credit packs are not counted).
With these settings this model has fewer than two channels with exact prices, so there is nothing to compare.

"Lowest monthly price" is the cheapest confirmed monthly plan for that tool. It does not mean that plan includes this model — premium models are often limited to pricier plans. Each tool's official pricing page is the authority.

This model is included in plans on Vidu, Krea, but we found no exact official rate for it there, so no durations are listed — we don't estimate on a vendor's behalf.
How the status is checked
Whether a model still runs is checked separately from prices: prices change monthly, but a model can disappear between two price syncs, quietly making every page that mentions it wrong. So each model record has its own confirmation date and review deadline; overdue records are flagged, never assumed to still be running.
Last confirmed on Sep 18, 2026; due to be rechecked by Oct 18, 2026.
