# Vidu Q2: From Eye-Candy AI to a True Production Workhorse
AI image-generation tools can be a **love-hate relationship**.
When you first try them, the results can be *jaw-droppingly beautiful*. But once you attempt to build a series or integrate them into a real workflow, the experience becomes messy — results feel random, unpredictable, even frustrating.
**Nano Banana** showed us that AI generation could be tamed with more precision.
Now, **Vidu Q2** takes it further: it combines text-to-image, reference-based generation, and image editing with a new focus on **stability**.

## Why Stability Matters
This time, Vidu Q2 concentrates on **consistency** — targeting and eliminating common headaches such as:
- **Character collapse**
- **Product distortion**
- **Style shifts**
It’s not just a social-media gimmick anymore — Vidu Q2 is built for **end-to-end, practical creative workflows**.

## Industry Rankings
In the latest AA rankings:
- Vidu Q2’s new **image editing** capability overtook **OpenAI’s GPT-5**
- In just two years, it climbed into the top three, competing with Google and ByteDance
- Chasing **Nano Banana Pro**, while delivering genuine “peace of mind” for creators
---

## Continuous Reference-Based Creation
### Core Capability
Vidu was among the earliest domestic tools to make **multi-image reference** a core feature — supporting:
- **Largest number of input references**
- **Highest consistency rate** in the country
The Q2 update adds:
- Complex multi-reference combinations
- Easier operation for designers, directors, and casual creators
- Automatic matching of actions, positions, layouts, textures, lighting, and color — while keeping characters intact
---
### Multi-Reference Generation Example
We tested Vidu Q2 with:
1. **Subject image**: Bay Chicken (mascot from the National Games)
2. **Scene image**: Observation deck on Shanghai’s Bund at sunset
3. Brief text prompt
**Output Highlights**:
- Lighting direction matches the environment
- Actions respond accurately to instructions
- Reflections and color mapping handled intelligently
**Result**: Multiple variations maintained high character consistency — no loss of key markings or features.
---
### Spatial Consistency
Vidu Q2 excels at spatial awareness:
- Example prompt: *Bay Chicken walking through carved railings at the Forbidden City*
- The character is placed naturally within the 3D space — without object clipping or distortion
---
### Complex Poses & Anime Characters
Using reference image generation, creators can:
- Replicate complex martial arts poses
- Maintain clothing, facial details, and scene positioning
This is transformative for:
- Film storyboarding
- Anime production
- Promotional poster creation
With camera-related prompts, the same reference can generate:
- Close-ups
- Long shots
- Object close-ups (e.g., soccer ball)
This reduces the need for manual frame creation.

## Style Consistency Across Panels
Vidu Q2 supports **hundreds of anime styles** and keeps them stable across multiple images — enabling entire manga panels to stay consistent in design.
---
## Image Editing: From Inspiration to Production
### Key Capabilities
Natural-language editing covers:
- Add/remove elements
- Background replacement
- Color changes
- Lighting adjustments
- Zoom and aspect ratio switching
All **without losing subject consistency** across edits.
---
### Commercial Usage Examples
**Billboard replacement**:
- Swap content in seconds without manual cutouts
**Product enhancement**:
- Add elements with realistic lighting/refraction
---
### E-commerce Workflow Demo
**Sketch → Coloring → Material replacement**:
1. Generate outline drawing
2. Apply material & style via prompt
3. Reuse setup for scene variations

## Subject Saving & Workflow Continuity
You can **save** generated characters/IP as “subjects”:
1. Generate image via text-to-image or reference-based tools
2. Save as a subject in the character library
3. Use in reference-based video generation
---
## Pragmatic Design Philosophy
