Reference-Led Video Brief

Create a short video clip guided by a reference image. Upload a photo as the first frame, then name the subject, composition, environment, and any essential identity cues before describing the motion. This approach helps maintain consistency.

  1. 01

    Upload your reference image

    Choose a clear photo with a visible subject and a composition you want to preserve.

  2. 02

    Describe what must stay stable

    Name the subject, composition, environment, and any identity cues that must remain.

  3. 03

    Add one deliberate motion

    Describe one subject action or one camera move. Keep the motion simple and focused.

Character portrait with a blink

A young woman with curly hair looks at the camera. Soft window light. She blinks once slowly. Everything else stays still: her expression, the background, the lighting. The blink is the only movement.

The woman, her hair, and the background should match the reference. Only the blink should move.

Reference preservation
The subject, composition, and environment from the reference should remain recognizable.
Motion restraint
Limit the motion to one action or camera move to keep the clip stable.
How do I ensure the woman's expression stays unchanged?

Specify 'the woman's expression must remain neutral and unchanged throughout the clip'.

What if the blink is too fast?

Add 'a slow, deliberate blink lasting 1 second' for a more natural motion.

Can I change the background to a different room?

Yes, upload a new reference image of the desired background and describe it in the prompt.
