| Decision factor | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Best suited to | Creators who saw the Vidu Q4 Preview launch and want to know what it actually accepts, and what they can produce now on a model that is already live in Imgo. |
| Image and video | Vidu Q4 Preview is a video model inside Vidu's web product and API. Imgo hosts several video models, plus image generation and editing for the frames that feed them. |
| References and editing | Q4 Preview takes up to 15 reference images and up to 3 reference audio clips, each an MP3 of 3 to 12 seconds. Seedance 2.0 on Imgo takes up to 4 reference images, 3 video clips and 3 audio tracks, and also accepts an end frame, which Q4 Preview's image-to-video mode does not list. |
| Character and brand consistency | Q4 Preview's larger reference budget is its claim to consistency; ShengShu's quality claims are its own until you test them. Run the same character references through both and compare the face and wardrobe in the last second against the first. |
| API, batch, and team | Vidu publishes an API for Q4 Preview under the model id viduq4-preview. Imgo exposes batch, team and API surfaces around the models it hosts. |
| Price and free use | ShengShu launched Q4 Preview at a promotional rate and says final pricing varies by plan and region, so read the current figure on Vidu's pricing page. Vidu Q4 Preview is not priced on Imgo, where every run quotes its credits live before you submit. |

A reproducible test for your team
Suggested test conditions; no independent benchmark result is claimed.
Prompt
A 10-second 16:9 shot: a chef in a white apron plates a dessert at a steel counter while the camera pushes in slowly from waist height; steam rises behind her, a spoon taps the plate twice, and she says one short line to the camera.
Input and controls
Use the same chef reference images and 16:9 framing on both paths and generate three takes each; run Vidu Q4 Preview in reference-to-video and Seedance 2.0 on Imgo with reference images, at 10 seconds, and keep every take.
Record these outcomes
- Face and apron identical in the last second and the first
- The spoken line in sync with the lips
- The two spoon taps landing on the action
- Cost per accepted take
