Veo 2 vs Vidu Q2
Veo 2 edges out Vidu Q2 overall (Veo 2 56.0 vs Vidu Q2 45.0.) Veo 2, despite being an older model, demonstrates quite good judgment and taste. It has great cinematography going for it, and was the first generation that really showed us models could produce very cinematic output—sometimes, if prompted enough, producing videos that were difficult to distinguish from reality. There are now models that are much better, but Veo 2 remains historically significant as the proof point that photo-real AI video was achievable. The main tradeoffs are in Physics accuracy, Native audio generation (lacks it), Artifacts, Natural human movement, where Vidu Q2 tends to score better.
