A Vidu alternative that takes references for motion and sound too
Vidu built its name on reference-to-video and keeping a subject consistent between shots. MiniMax H3 takes that further: up to 9 reference images, and separately up to 3 reference videos and 3 reference audio clips, so you can steer what a scene looks like, how the camera moves, and what it sounds like. Output goes to 4K, clips run 5 to 15 seconds, and you get 10 free credits every day.
How Arteza compares
| What matters | Arteza | Vidu |
|---|---|---|
| Reference images | Up to 9 per generation | Supported, lower ceiling on most plans |
| Reference video and audio | Up to 3 clips each, steering motion and sound | Image references are the focus |
| Top resolution | 4K, with 480P, 768P and 2K tiers | Typically up to 1080p |
| Clip length | 5 to 15 seconds in one pass | Short clips, extended by continuation |
| End frame | Set the closing frame directly | Not exposed on most tiers |
| Free tier | 10 free credits every day, no credit card | Monthly credit allowance |
Why creators switch to Arteza
Nine references, not one
Bind up to 9 images of a character, product or location in a single generation so identity survives the cut instead of drifting shot to shot.
Steer motion with a video
A reference video shapes camera movement and pacing, which a still image cannot describe. Three of them can ride along with the image references.
Finish on a frame you choose
End-frame control fixes the last moment of the clip, so a transition lands where the edit needs it rather than wherever the model drifts.
4K when the deliverable needs it
Draft at 480P for pennies, then run the approved prompt again at 2K or 4K without changing tools.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Vidu alternative?
Yes. Arteza gives 10 free credits every day with no credit card, and MiniMax H3 is one of more than 50 video models you can point them at.
How many reference images can I use?
Up to 9 reference images in a single generation, plus up to 3 reference videos and 3 reference audio clips. The first five references are included in the base price and each one after that adds a small credit surcharge.
Can I control how the video ends?
Yes. MiniMax H3 supports an end frame, so you supply the closing image and the model interpolates toward it. That is the most reliable way to make a clip cut cleanly into the next one.
Does it really output 4K?
Yes. Resolution tiers are 480P, 768P, 2K and 4K, and price scales with the tier, so drafting is cheap and only the final pass costs 4K money.
What does a clip cost?
Between $0.40 and $4.40 depending on resolution, duration and how many references you attach. A 480P draft sits at the bottom of that range.
