Vidu added native 4K video generation to Q4 Preview for users generating video.
What this means for you: Vidu can now make video clips in true 4K, the sharp, high-detail resolution, when you generate video with the Q4 Preview model. Detail in each frame comes out crisper than before.
Why it matters: It follows the Oct 27 update that made Q4 Preview faster and gave it more refined visuals, and the Oct 7 release of Q4 Preview itself.
How to use it: Generate video in Vidu using Q4 Preview.
I make short videos and just learned Vidu's Q4 Preview model can now generate native 4K video. Help me decide which of my projects are worth making in 4K. Ask me about where the videos will be shown, then give me a short checklist. My projects: [list projects].
