Character reference to video
A character reference should anchor identity before the prompt adds motion. Use it when the same person, mascot, or figure needs to stay recognizable across angles or shots.
Use reference images to control identity, product details, scene design, or visual style while the prompt defines motion, camera language, and shot structure.

A product reference helps preserve shape, materials, logo placement, color, and proportions while the video prompt adds commercial camera movement and lighting.
Scene and style references guide the environment, mood, palette, and composition. They are useful when the output needs to match a brand world or cinematic direction.
Image-to-video usually animates a single source image. Reference-image workflows use visual inputs to guide identity, product details, scene design, or style across a broader prompt-led video.
