Beijing-based Shengshu Technology announced that its AI-powered text-to-video tool Vidu can now generate videos by combining images. Vidu allows users to create 8-second clips based on prompts. The new AI feature can combine three pictures into a video with visual consistency, a breakthrough in AI-generated videos. Vidu has already attracted advertisers and businesses, with monthly usage rates ranging from $13,871 to $138,711. To address copyright issues, Vidu does not allow the use of images of celebrities or sensitive individuals, nudes, or violent images. Founded last year, Shengshu’s backers include Baidu Ventures, Alibaba-affiliate Ant Group, and Qiming Venture Partners.
