An anime production desk for characters, storyboards and motion
Generate original characters, lineup sheets, portrait art and visual-novel assets before moving into motion work.
Turn photos, rough sketches and earlier outputs into stable anime references with expression passes, outfit changes and identity lock-in.
Use text-to-video and image-to-video to test shot timing, reveal loops and lightweight previsualisation for PV beats.
Package key art, thumbnails, teaser clips and optional soundtrack drafts for launch or handoff.
Turn text, images and references into cinematic AI video
Type a written prompt and Vidu builds a coherent short video, including camera moves, pacing, and lighting described in the text.
Upload a still image or illustration and animate it into motion while preserving the original art style and subjects.
Feed in reference images or clips so the same face, outfit, product, or character stays recognizable across every shot and scene.
Purpose-built handling of anime and 2D styles, from expressive facial close-ups to era-specific illustration looks.
