Consistent characters across videos
Recurring characters are what turn one-off videos into a series people follow. The trick is keeping them on-model so video 12 looks like video 1.
Define your characters once
Write down each character’s look — species, colors, outfit, vibe — and lock it into a reference. The clearer the reference, the more consistent every generation.
Reuse them across every video
A character belongs to the project, not one video — the script knows its name, and every scene it appears in uses its reference image, so you’re never re-describing it from scratch.
Anchor scenes on a start frame
Use a start frame to anchor a character’s appearance for image-to-video models. It keeps faces and outfits stable shot to shot.
Frequently asked
Why do my characters look different each time?
Text-only prompts drift. Anchor on a reference image or a start frame, and keep reusing the same description and references every time.
Can I have multiple recurring characters?
Yes — define each one as its own reference and name them in your prompts so the model keeps them distinct.
