Introducting ViduQ1

1

Cinematic-Level Visual Clarity

The model delivers a comprehensive upgrade in visual detail restoration.
2

Precise Resolution of Visual Artifacts

Movements are smooth and natural—hand gestures during product demonstrations in e-commerce livestreams are accurately rendered and compliant. Visual jitter is minimized through dynamic frame interpolation technology, ensuring fluid and stable footage even in motion-heavy scenes such as running shots or vehicle perspectives.
3

Multi-Style Artistic Expression

The realistic style aims for lifelike visuals—urban landscapes and character portraits in city promos are rendered with striking realism. The animated style focuses on authenticity, accurately capturing everything from the hand-drawn lines of Japanese anime to the saturated colors of Western cartoons. By inputting anime character designs, the model generates dynamic story segments that closely match the original IP’s visual style, boosting the efficiency of derivative content creation.
4

Industry-Leading Transition Smoothness

The start and end frame transition technology reaches a new level, using dynamic frame prediction and style fusion algorithms to overcome the limitations of “mechanical stitching” in video transitions.
