Reference Images in EasyVid: Complete Visual Control Guide

Tired of AI generating completely different characters every scene? Or getting a cartoon when you wanted photorealistic? Reference images fix the biggest problem with AI video: consistency.

Instead of hoping your text prompt works, show the AI exactly what you want.

The AI Consistency Problem

AI is creative. Sometimes too creative. Ask for a "young scientist" and get a different person in every scene. Request a "modern office" and get everything from glass towers to cramped cubicles.

Text descriptions are vague. AI fills in the gaps with guesswork. Reference images remove the guesswork.

Three Types of Visual Control

Style References: Control the overall look and feel
Upload an oil painting → Get oil painting style videos
Upload a photograph → Get photorealistic results

Character References: Keep people looking the same
Upload a character portrait → They appear consistently across all scenes

Scene References: Guide composition and setting
Upload a forest photo → AI generates similar environments

How It Actually Works

Instead of pure text prompts like "a detective in a dark alley," you provide:

• Text: "a detective in a dark alley"
• Character reference: Photo of your detective
• Style reference: Film noir screenshot
• Scene reference: Moody alley photograph

The AI combines all inputs. You get your detective, looking exactly right, in a perfectly styled scene.

Model Limits (Important)

Luma Models: Up to 3 reference images per scene
OpenAI Models: Up to 10 reference images per scene

EasyVid automatically manages these limits and optimizes for the best results with each AI model.

Character Integration is Automatic

Create a character in EasyVid? Their thumbnail becomes a reference image automatically.

Mention "Sarah" in your scene prompt, and EasyVid:

1. Recognizes the character name
2. Applies Sarah's thumbnail as a reference
3. Generates Sarah looking consistent across all scenes

No manual reference management required.

Real-World Examples

Brand Videos: Upload your logo and brand colors → Every scene matches your visual identity

Educational Content: Upload instructor photos → The same teacher appears in every lesson

Entertainment: Upload character designs → Consistent protagonists throughout your series

Beyond Basic Text Prompts

Text alone: "A woman in a lab coat"
Result: Random appearance every time

Text + reference image: "A woman in a lab coat" + scientist photo
Result: The same scientist, consistently styled, every time

Quality Matters

Use clear, high-resolution images for best results: ✅ Good lighting and contrast
✅ Clear subject focus
✅ High resolution
❌ Blurry or dark images
❌ Cluttered backgrounds
❌ Low quality screenshots

Strategic Use

Style Consistency: Use the same style reference across your entire project
Character Consistency: Keep character references consistent across scenes
Scene Variety: Change scene references while maintaining character and style

Works with Script to Video

Upload your character references once. When EasyVid processes your script, it automatically applies the right character images based on who's mentioned in each scene.

No need to manually assign references to every single scene.

The Visual Control You've Been Missing

Reference images turn AI generation from a guessing game into a precision tool. Show the AI your vision instead of hoping it understands your words.

Stop getting random results. Start getting exactly what you envision.
