How EasyVid keeps characters consistent

Scenes from four EasyVid videos. Hover one to see it animated.

Reference images

One portrait per character

Every character has a reference image, generated or uploaded. Each scene that tags the character sends it to the image or video model, so the face, hair, and clothes carry over.

Click for sound

Several characters

Two characters, two references

Tag every character in a scene and each one's reference goes with it, along with the location and props. Two bees share the honeycomb and each keeps her own look.

Click for sound

Voices

One voice per character

Each character keeps the voice you pick for every line. In Director, the voice audio goes to the video model, so the character speaks with it on screen.

Click for sound

Animals and mascots

Not just people

A character can be anyone with a stable look: a person, an animal, a mascot, or a cartoon figure. An old otter fisherman gets a reference image like any other character.

Click for sound

Changes

A new state, the same character

An outfit change or a state like soaked by rain is a variant made by editing the original image. In a bedtime story about a fox who keeps a lighthouse, the stairs have a dark and a sunlit version, and the fox stays the same on both.

Every character in a project has these, and every scene that tags them uses them.

How to make a consistent character video

From a script to a video with the same cast in every scene, in four steps.

1

Write or paste the script

Describe an idea or paste your own script. EasyVid writes the scenes and lists every character in them.

2

Create the characters

Each character gets a description and a portrait. Edit the description, regenerate the portrait, or upload your own image.

3

Generate the scenes

Every scene that tags a character sends that character's portrait to the model, and their lines are voiced with their voice.

4

Review and render

Check the storyboard, regenerate any scene that drifted, and render your video.

Consistent Characters FAQ

How does EasyVid keep characters consistent across scenes?

Every character has a reference image. When a scene tags a character as @Name, that image goes to the image or video model along with the scene's description, so the model draws the same character instead of a new one.

Do I need to train a model or a LoRA?

No. EasyVid works from reference images, so there is nothing to train. Generate or upload a character and it is ready to use in the next scene.

Can I have more than one character in a scene?

Yes. Tag every character in the scene and each one's reference image is sent with it. Scene images in Classic take up to 10 reference images, and Director's video models take up to 9 (Seedance 2.5) or 11 (MiniMax H3 Max), shared by the scene's characters, location, and props.

Can a character change outfits and still look like themselves?

Yes. An outfit change or a new state, like soaked by rain or covered in mud, is a variant of the same character, tagged @Name:variant. EasyVid makes the variant by editing the character's portrait, so the face stays the same. You can also add a variant yourself and describe the change.

Can I upload my own character?

Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP image in the character editor, or attach images when you start a project and EasyVid sorts them into characters, locations, and props. If an image doesn't match the project's visual style, EasyVid offers to regenerate it in that style.

Do characters keep the same voice too?

Yes. Each character has one voice for every line they speak, plus a default voice style that any single line can override. In Director, the scene's voice audio goes to the video model, so the character speaks with that voice on screen.

Can I reuse the same characters in another video?

Yes. Save a character to your library and add it to any new project, which keeps a recurring cast the same across a series.

Does it work for animals, mascots, and cartoon characters?

Yes. A character can be anyone with a stable look: a person, an animal, a mascot, or a cartoon figure. Each one gets a reference image like any other character.

Will a character look exactly the same in every scene?

Not always. AI models are not perfect, and a small detail can still drift in a scene. When that happens, regenerate that one scene. The character's reference image stays the same, so the next try starts from the same look.

How long can a consistent character video be?

Up to 10 minutes on any paid plan, in vertical (9:16), square (1:1), or landscape (16:9).

Can I use the videos commercially?

Yes. On a paid plan you can use your videos commercially, as long as you have the rights to anything you upload.
