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.

Turn a script into an illustrated faceless video, drawn with your own template.
Pick from published templates like stickman, cartoon, 3D cartoon, survival and animated map, or clone your own from a reference video you upload.
Scripts are split into scenes, narrated with ElevenLabs or the Vsub engine, and drawn frame by frame automatically.
Bring your own recording and Vsub transcribes it as the narration, or choose a generated voice.
Connect Vsub to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor over MCP and ask for a video - it comes back ready without opening the app.
