Reference to video is the consistency-first way to generate AI video. Upload the references that define your scene — a character from three angles, a product studio shot, a style painting, even motion or music from your own clips — add one prompt, and our reference to video generator builds a new video around them. The face stays the face, the product stays the product, and the style stays the style.
Three references in — character, product, style. One consistent reference to video clip out.
Upload your references, describe the scene, and generate your first reference to video clip in minutes — no editing skills required.
Every clip below was rendered by the reference to video generator on this page, from the exact reference inputs and prompt shown beside it. No stock footage, no mystery recipes — copy any reference to video prompt, swap in your own references, and reproduce the result.
Character consistency
This reference to video clip started from three character reference images and one short prompt. Our reference to video generator locked the character identity from the uploads, then placed her in an entirely new neon-lit street scene with a cinematic follow camera. That is the core promise of reference to video: the subject stays recognizably the same while the world around her is brand new. Copy the exact prompt below and try it with your own character references.
Exact prompt used
The character walks through a neon-lit city street at night, cinematic camera follow
Reference inputs: 3 character reference images showing the same subject from different angles
Product & brand marketing
Here reference to video blends two different asset types in one generation: a clean product studio shot plus a portrait of a presenter. The reference to video result places the exact product in her hands inside a bright lifestyle scene with a slow advertising-style orbit. Multi-asset blending is where a generous reference budget matters — this reference to video recipe used only two images, and you can combine many more.
Exact prompt used
The woman from the reference portrait presents the product from the studio shot in a bright modern lifestyle scene — she holds it naturally toward camera, smooth slow camera orbit around her, clean advertising style, soft daylight, shallow depth of field. Absolutely no text, no words, no watermark, no logo overlays.
Reference inputs: 2 reference images: one product studio shot and one portrait of the presenter
Art style from a reference
Reference to video is not limited to characters and products — a reference can also carry a visual style. This reference to video demo paired a watercolor painting with a portrait, and the generator re-rendered the woman as a living watercolor illustration with bleeding paint edges and gentle ambient motion. One style reference plus one identity reference is a reference to video recipe worth stealing for music videos and art reels.
Exact prompt used
The woman from the reference portrait rendered entirely in flowing watercolor illustration style matching the reference painting — visible brush strokes, paint texture alive and gently bleeding at the edges, soft color washes, she turns her head slowly and smiles, gentle ambient motion. Absolutely no text, no words, no watermark, no logo.
Reference inputs: 2 reference images: one watercolor painting for style and one portrait for identity
One reference to video engine, six workflows creators return to every week — from serialized characters to audio-driven music clips.
The most popular reference to video workflow: lock a character from a few reference images, then generate episode after episode with the same face, outfit, and identity. The generator keeps multi-shot continuity intact, so serialized shorts and story reels feel like one production.
Drop a product studio shot into reference to video and place that exact product into lifestyle scenes, seasonal campaigns, or social ads without a reshoot. Brand teams use reference to video to animate mascots and brand IP, keeping packaging, logo placement, and product shape consistent across every generated clip.
Building a virtual persona demands the same face in every post. Reference to video turns a small set of portrait references into an always-on influencer who can appear at the beach, in a studio, or on a city street — while your audience never questions that it is the same person.
Reference to video accepts video clips as references too. Upload your own footage — up to ten clips, thirty seconds total — and let its motion, camera movement, pacing, and energy guide the new generation. It is the fastest way to reskin your favorite shot with a new subject or a new look.
Most generators ignore sound; reference to video treats audio as a first-class input. Attach up to ten audio clips — a chorus, a voiceover, a beat — and generate visuals that follow the music, with native audio in the final result.
Before you book a shoot, pitch the idea in motion. Agencies and filmmakers use reference to video to turn mood-board images into moving storyboard scenes and ad concept previews. A five-second reference to video draft communicates pacing, casting, and style better than any static deck ever could.
Reference to video takes three steps from upload to download — all in the generator above.
Start reference to video by uploading what should guide the result: up to thirty reference images, ten reference videos, and ten audio clips. Mix a character, a product, and a style in one reference to video project — at least one reference is required, and clear, well-lit inputs work best.
Describe how the references should drive the scene, then set duration from four to thirty seconds, pick an aspect ratio from 1:1 all the way to cinematic 21:9, and choose 480p or 720p. Your reference to video prompt is where you direct camera moves, mood, and action.
Hit generate and let reference to video do the compositing. Preview the clip — native audio included — then download the MP4 for your channel, campaign, or pitch. Not quite right? Adjust the prompt or swap a reference and run reference to video again.
Everything worth knowing before your first reference to video generation — limits, honest specs, and reference tips.
Upload your references to the generator, borrow any prompt recipe from the demos above, and watch reference to video keep your character, product, and style consistent from the first frame. Reference to video is free to try — your first clip is minutes away.
