Vidu AI is a Sleeper Hit! Check out HubSpot's Free ChatGPT resources here: https://clickhubspot.com/7olo
In this video, I dive into the newly released Vidu 2.0 model, exploring its image-to-video, reference-to-video features, and overall performance. I compare it to Lumia’s Ray 2 text-to-video approach, as well as Sora’s evolving capabilities, highlighting where each model shines (and where they still struggle). Along the way, I run through fun experiments like blending my own portrait into cyberpunk scenes, creating crowd shots, and even conceptualizing an animated “zombie dogs” project. I also check out how the upcoming Kinetix Tech platform may change character motion control—especially if TikTok ever gets banned! Watch till the end for tips, tricks, and my honest thoughts on these emerging AI video tools.
