Vidu (official) — AI Video API Pricing
Official first-party API carrying 1 tracked video model, from $0.035/second — every scheme normalized to cost per second of output.
First-party developer API from Vidu's maker (ShengShu) with an official published credit-to-USD rate card and complete per-second Q3 tables.
- Models carried
- 1 tracked video model: Vidu Q3.
- Billing scheme
- per-second — normalized to USD per second of output video on every row below. Credit-based per-second billing; credits cost $0.005 each; each Q3 tier has a credits-per-second rate by resolution (e.g. Q3-pro 720p = 20 cr/s) so usd_per_second = credits_per_second * 0.005; off-peak mode (48h queue) roughly halves the rate
