Shengshu's new video model charges 1.4 cents a second.
Shengshu released Vidu Q4 Preview on Wednesday, an early version of its next flagship model for 4K video with sound. It takes up to fifteen reference pictures and three short voice clips in one request. Shengshu shipped the preview early so creators could test it on real work before the full release.
Why it mattersVideo tools priced by the second turn a short film into a budget line, not a project. At these rates the cost of trying an idea stops being the reason you skip it.
