# Vidu Q2 family

Short character clips in an existing Q2 reference workflow

- **Availability**: legacy
- **Where it runs**: hosted
- **Costs**: Vidu's direct API bills in credits. Consumption depends on the Q2 variant, endpoint, duration and resolution; check that route's rate table when budgeting batches and retries.
- **Adult content policy**: restricted

Vidu Q2 is worth keeping in a reference workflow that already meets your character and shot requirements. Reference images, selectable clip length and resolution, and an explicit seed give you practical controls for short clips. Save those inputs with each job, then compare Q3 on the same shot before rebuilding the pipeline. Changing the model, references and settings together makes it hard to tell what improved or broke. Q2's documented generation window ends at ten seconds, which limits longer scenes. Confirm access to the exact endpoint before committing a batch. Use it for non-explicit work: Vidu moderates nudity and explicit sex in both inputs and outputs.

## Commercial use & license

Proprietary hosted model. Vidu's service terms and any applicable plan terms govern access and use. No downloadable weight license is established.

## Adult content rules

Vidu moderates nudity and sexually explicit content in inputs and generated videos. Moderation cannot be disabled for an account, project or topic.

[Read the policy](https://platform.vidu.com/docs/terms-and-policies/content-moderation)

## What you need

Use a Vidu API token and the Q2 variant supported by your endpoint. Text-to-video takes viduq2 and supports one to ten seconds; image and reference routes have their own variant and input rules. Confirm account access before planning a batch.

Ranks are recommendations for the task described, based on reviewed documentation. Model ranks cover non-explicit development work. We have not run practical benchmarks. Check content policies and commercial terms separately. [How the ranks work](https://bestadultgames.io/en/developers/methodology.md)

## Why consider it

- Reference images to guide character clips
- Explicit seed, duration and resolution controls
- Reference video inputs on the Q2 Pro route

## Tradeoffs to plan for

- Shorter generation window than Q3: up to ten seconds
- Text, image and reference routes accept different variants
- Access still needs checking for the exact endpoint

The tier reflects documented fit for the workflow described here and availability. No numeric score or hands-on performance results are provided.
