Reference to Video: Keep the Same Character
Upload one or more reference images so the character, clothes and props stay recognizable, then prompt a new action or place. Reference to video is for series, ads and storyboards where a single animated photo is not enough.

More than animating one photo
Image to video mostly moves a single still. Reference to video treats your images as a character sheet, so you can ask for a new action or background and still recognize the subject.
Lock identity, wardrobe and props
Front and side angles help the model understand the face and silhouette. Say what must stay—hair, logo, costume—and what may change—location, action, time of day.
Change the scene, not the hero
Prompt a street, studio or forest while the referenced subject stays put. That is the usual path for episodic social posts, brand characters and comic-style boards.
When to use references vs a single still
One clean photo is enough for a simple product loop—use image to video. Use references when the same person or mascot must survive a scene change without face drift.

Export a cut you can repeat across a campaign.
FAQ
How is this different from image to video?
Image to video animates one picture. Reference to video uses images as a character bible so new actions stay on-model.
Can I upload multiple references?
Yes. Multiple angles and entities improve coherence.
Can I change only the background?
Yes. Keep the subject in the references and describe the new environment in the prompt.
Is it meant for brand work?
Yes—repeatable looks across scenes, not a one-off morph.
