What is reference-to-video generation?

Reference-to-video uses uploaded reference images to maintain character or object consistency in generated videos. Unlike text-to-video where the AI decides all visuals, reference-to-video preserves the appearance of specific subjects you provide.

How many reference images can I upload?

The number depends on the model. Some models support a single reference image, while others accept multiple references for more complex compositions.

How is this different from image-to-video?

Image-to-video animates a single static image. Reference-to-video uses reference images to maintain character identity while generating new scenes and actions described in your text prompt.

Can I use this for brand consistency?

Yes, reference-to-video is ideal for maintaining brand visual consistency. Upload your brand characters, products, or design elements to create on-brand video content.

What types of references work best?

Clear, well-lit images of the subject from multiple angles work best. For characters, include front-facing shots with distinct features. High-resolution images produce better results.
