The outcome

Create a short brand-safe draft whose important visual elements remain recognizable and legally cleared.

Vidu is a AI video platform for text, image, reference, character-consistent, and API generation. Creating short videos with reusable characters, products, props, scenes, or styles and maintaining visual continuity across reference-driven shots. This guide narrows that broad capability into one repeatable outcome, with checkpoints that keep the source material and your judgment in the loop.

Before you begin

Set the boundary before the tool starts.

Choose one real task, identify who will use the result, and decide what evidence or test will make the result acceptable. Gather only the source material needed for that task. If the work contains confidential, personal, regulated, or client-owned information, confirm that the platform and account are approved before sharing it.

Troiana principle

AI should make the work easier to inspect. If the workflow removes the source, the owner, or the review step, redesign the workflow.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Define the audience, placement, story beat, product claims, aspect ratio, duration, character, scene, camera, sound, brand rules, and approval criteria.

  2. 02

    Prepare one to seven minimal authorized references with clear names, stable angles, approved logos and colors, and no hidden personal or confidential information.

  3. 03

    Use Reference to Video, assign each reference a specific role in the prompt, request one simple action and camera move, and generate a short preview.

  4. 04

    Compare every frame with source references for identity, product geometry, label text, color, logo, props, scene continuity, physics, audio, and unsupported claims.

  5. 05

    Correct the prompt or reference rather than hiding defects, finish precise text and sound externally, preserve provenance, and obtain brand, legal, and accessibility approval.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Give each reference one clear role.
  • Verify product geometry frame by frame.
  • Finish exact copy outside generation.

Multi-reference generation can reproduce identifiable people, brands, products, locations, and styles. Vidu requires sufficient rights and consent, may monitor inputs and outputs for operational purposes, and prohibits hiding deep-synthesis indicators or using person-related output for consequential decisions. Keep references minimal and authorized, preserve provenance, review privacy and cross-border processing, test continuity frame by frame, and validate commercial terms for the exact web or API service used.
