Loved by Creators and Marketers

Creators use reference to video when a face or product has to stay itself across clips — short prompts, locked subjects, optional sound in the same run.

The face I uploaded is the face I got back

I dropped three stills of the same person and the clip did not invent a cousin. That is the whole reason I wanted a reference to video tool.

Same bottle, three rooms

One product photo became a set of lifestyle clips. I stopped reshooting the bottle every time the background changed.

Recurring character without a second shoot

I keep a series look with one reference pack. New scenes, same person — I do not have to book the talent again for B-roll.

Storyboard to motion without redrawing

I feed concept stills and get a consistent character video I can drop into a pitch. The outfit and hair survive the motion pass.

Tried image to video first, needed this

Image to video animated a still. Reference to video let me move the same person into a new place. That is the job I actually had.

Short prompt, locked look

I wrote one line about what must stay the same. The clip followed it. I did not need a paragraph of negative prompts.
