Starring AI: Vidu Q2 Brings Performances to Life

ShengShu Technology launches the Vidu Q2 model with breakthroughs in nuanced emotional expression, smarter cinematography, faster generation, and enhanced prompt understanding.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ShengShu Technology, a global leader in multimodal generative AI, today announced Vidu Q2 model, the latest evolution of its flagship video generation platform. The launch marks a defining moment: AI that doesn't just generate video. It performs. With precise emotion generation and smarter cinematography, the new model elevates AI to the role of a true performer.

"Vidu Q2 delivers a new formula for creative efficiency, combining greater agility, smarter cinematography, and faster generation, each amplifying the others to achieve a significant advancement," said Yihang Luo, CEO of ShengShu Technology. "Most importantly, Vidu Q2 gives AI the ability to perform with human-level realism. This breakthrough extends expressive power into film, short-form drama, advertising, and beyond."

Genuine Human-Like Acting

What sets Vidu Q2 apart is its ability to capture emotions precisely: from fleeting smiles to furrowed brows and subtle micro-expressions that resonate on screen. AI-generated characters can now truly "act", displaying expressive energy and warmth previously achievable only with human performers and costly motion-capture systems. This leap sets a new benchmark in AI-generated video, bringing unprecedented depth and realism to every performance.

With its expanded range of motion and fluidity, Vidu Q2 generates action scenes that move naturally, free from stiffness or stutter. Every frame carries a natural sense of energy and authenticity, transforming robotic movements into performances with human-like liveliness.

Master of Camera Work

Beyond expression and motion, Vidu Q2 elevates cinematography with its unique push-pull camera technique. This innovation allows seamless shifts between wide panoramic views and intimate close-ups, empowering creators to tell stories using the visual language of professional filmmakers.

With versatile options ranging from steady framing to dynamic movement, every sequence achieves professional cinematic quality, transforming camera work from a technical add-on into a central element of AI-generated storytelling.

Enhanced Prompt Understanding

Another major advance is semantic precision. With an enhanced ability to follow instructions, Vidu Q2 reduces the uncertainty that often frustrates creators. Concepts entered as text prompts are now captured with striking accuracy, minimizing revisions and accelerating the creative process. This reliability allows professionals and newcomers alike to focus on ideas rather than troubleshooting outputs. It's a crucial step toward making generative video a mainstream creative tool.

More Flexible, Much Faster

Functionality has also been expanded to meet the diverse needs of creators. Vidu Q2 introduces flexible clip durations ranging from two to eight seconds, giving users freedom to produce everything from quick, eye-catching social snippets to compact narrative micro-dramas.

For speed, users can choose between two distinct modes:

• Flash Mode: Generates results in about 20 seconds, enabling rapid experimentation.
• Cinematic Mode: Delivers richer detail, texture, and visual fidelity, ideal for professional-grade storytelling.

Together, these features expand the creative canvas while keeping efficiency at the heart of the experience.

The release of Vidu Q2 underscores ShengShu Technology's fast-moving innovation in generative AI. Since Vidu 1.5 pioneered the world's first breakthrough in multi-entity consistency, the company has advanced rapidly. Vidu 2.0 achieved record-breaking ten-second generation speeds. Vidu Q1 introduced cinematic transitions and delivered the industry's first high-fidelity sound effects generation, followed by the Q1 Reference-to-Image update, which enabled seamless compositing of up to seven images. Each milestone expands the boundaries of what AI video can achieve.

ShengShu Technology has already built a strong foundation with enterprise clients across the internet, advertising, film, media, education, and gaming, partnering with leading companies globally. Vidu is now trusted by over 30 million users, as well as thousands of developer teams, enterprises, and partners across more than 200 countries and regions through its MaaS platform. With Vidu Q2, ShengShu moves into a new phase of expressive, emotionally intelligent video generation, marking an important step toward the mainstream use of AI video in global industries.

Starring AI: Vidu Q2 Brings Performances to Life

• Resumes services to Fukuoka, Japan from September 2026 after nearly two decades
• Expands China footprint with new direct services to Shenzhen and Changsha, commencing July 2026
• "MAG Arena" showcases Asia's Largest Airline Pavilion at MATTA Fair 2026, featuring the region's premier sports partnership activation by an airline
• Increases frequencies across ASEAN, South Asia, Australia and New Zealand and Europe to further strengthen global connectivity

SINGAPORE, April 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Malaysia Airlines is significantly expanding its East Asia footprint with the return of direct flights to Fukuoka, Japan, and the launch of new services to Shenzhen and Changsha, China. Commencing between July and September 2026, these additions bring the airline's China network to nine key gateways and reinforce its commitment to providing greater travel flexibility across the region.

As part of this expansion, the airline will introduce new services between Kuala Lumpur and Shenzhen (SZX) and Changsha (CSX) in China, alongside the resumption of services to Fukuoka (FUK) in Japan, which the airline last operated in September 2006. With the launch of these destinations, Malaysia Airlines consolidates its presence across a total of nine strategic destinations in China, including Beijing (PKX), Shanghai (PVG), Guangzhou (CAN), Xiamen (XMN), Hong Kong (HKG), Taipei (TPE), and Chengdu Tianfu (TFU). Ticket sales for the new services commence today, supporting the growing travel demand and strengthening connectivity between Malaysia and these high-growth regional hubs.

Captain Nasaruddin A. Bakar, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said, "This expansion reflects our strategic focus on scaling our presence in key growth markets across East Asia while cementing Kuala Lumpur's position as a key strategic gateway. Both Shenzhen and Changsha align perfectly with our network strategy, driven by robust demand across both business and leisure segments. The return to Fukuoka further enhances our network depth. As the only carrier operating direct flights on this route, we are proud to offer passengers a seamless non-stop experience that eliminates the need for transit. These developments demonstrate our ongoing commitment to optimising our network and delivering a more integrated travel experience for our customers."

Beyond the East Asia expansion, Malaysia Airlines is increasing flight frequencies across key routes namely Brisbane, Australia; Manila, Philippines and Colombo, Sri Lanka to meet rising demand while supporting growing tourism and trade links. In addition, the airline will operate ad-hoc Kuala Lumpur–London flights on 18 and 22 April 2026 to accommodate passengers affected by recent Middle Eastern carrier disruptions.

As the returning Official Airline Partner and Premier Sponsor of MATTA Fair 2026, MAG unveiled its most ambitious presence yet with the launch of the MAG Arena, recognised by both the Asia Records and ASEAN Records as Asia's Largest Airline Trade Pavilion at a consumer travel fair.

Spanning approximately 46,000 square feet, nearly three times the scale of its participation in September last year, the expanded pavilion transforms the MATTA Fair experience into a fully immersive destination showcasing curated experiences and next-generation travel technology that brings journeys to life before travellers even board the aircraft. Visitors will be able to explore destinations, discover travel innovations and experience the warmth of Malaysian Hospitality through interactive engagements designed to inspire their next journey.

In addition, the pavilion will host Asia's largest sports partnership activation by an airline, celebrating Malaysia Airlines' collaborations with global clubs like Manchester United and national sporting icons Datuk Azizulhasni Awang and others. The dedicated sports experience zone will allow football fans and travellers to engage with legends and their favourite sports personalities — reinforcing how sport and travel connect people across borders and generations.

Through the expansion of its network and increased flight frequencies, the airline continues to strengthen Kuala Lumpur's position as a key gateway to Asia and beyond, while supporting Malaysia's tourism ambitions under Visit Malaysia 2026 and advancing its journey towards becoming one of the world's Top 10 global airlines by 2030.
