Under your idea, the “References (optional)” block fixes what the AI must not invent: who the characters are, where the video takes place, which images to use. Empty, the AI invents everything. Filled in, it sticks to it on every shot.

​
Characters (text)

The “Characters” field (2,000 characters): “Who they are, what they look like, how they talk. Empty: the AI makes them up.” One line per character, starting with the name they will have in the story:
Nothing to redraw identically: the face, the outfit and the age will change from one shot to the next.
The more precise the description, the less the character drifts between two shots. A single outfit and one strong detail (a bandage, a scar, a color of clothing) do more for likeness than a list of adjectives.
Rules:
  • Use exactly the same names as in your idea or your script.
  • Describe the appearance here, not in the idea: two descriptions that diverge give a face that changes.
  • Describe only what is permanent. “He is scared” is not an appearance; it is acting, which goes in the script.

​
Characters (images)

You can add images of your characters, or reuse them from “My characters”. They are “redrawn in your style, identical on every shot”. Give each image the name the character will have in the story. The “Consistent characters” setting keeps the same face from one shot to the next; the app advises adding 3 reference images per character.

​
Setting

The “Setting” field (600 characters): “The place and mood of the whole video.”
Example:
You can also add one or several setting images. One image applies to the whole video; with several, name each place (“The kitchen”, “The hallway”).

​
Shot images

In some tools, “Shot images” accepts up to 30 images: “Each image opens a shot, in order: the first one opens shot 1.” Useful when you already have a storyboard or specific visuals.

​
The style

Two settings, in “Customize”:
  • “Style”: the look of all the images, chosen from the gallery.
  • “Refine the style (optional)” (300 characters): what the gallery doesn’t say.
Example: Pastel colors, big shiny eyes, end of day light.
This text is added to every image prompt. Put only the look in it: colors, light, materials, general framing. Never an action (“he runs”), never text to display, never subtitles. Text on screen is written with an overlay marker.
