Reference to Video AI Generator
Upload one to three reference images to guide the style, subject, character, product, or composition of your AI-generated video. Get consistent, on-brand video output that matches your visual identity.
What is Reference to Video Generation
Reference to video generation uses one to three uploaded images as visual guidance for a new AI-generated video. Unlike image to video, the reference images do not have to be animated directly; they can guide character appearance, product details, art style, composition, color palette, or brand identity while your prompt defines the scene.
Upload 1-3 Visual References
Use one to three character images, product shots, brand assets, artworks, or moodboard visuals as references. The AI reads these references as guidance for the look, identity, and visual direction of the generated video.
Write the Video Prompt
The text prompt defines what happens in the video: the scene, action, camera movement, mood, and story direction. Reference to video combines prompt intent with visual guidance.
Keep Style or Character Consistent
Reference-guided video generation is useful when you need a recurring character, consistent product look, similar color palette, or recognizable brand style across multiple AI videos.
Generate a New Guided Video
The output is a new AI video influenced by your reference images and prompt. It is best for controlled creative direction, not simply animating the uploaded reference images.
Why Use Reference to Video Generation
Use reference to video when text prompts alone are not enough and you need stronger visual consistency across AI-generated videos.
More Control Than Text Alone
Reference images give the AI visual information that is hard to describe in words, such as character details, product styling, art direction, or brand atmosphere.
Consistent Characters and Styles
Use the same reference images across multiple generations to keep characters, visual style, color palette, or brand direction more consistent from video to video.
Better Brand and Campaign Output
Reference-guided AI video generation helps teams create videos that feel aligned with an existing product, campaign, design system, or creative direction.
Faster Visual Iteration
Keep the same reference images and change the prompt to explore different scenes, camera moves, and use cases without losing the visual direction.
How to Use Reference to Video
