Frequently asked questions

Contact supportWhat is reference to video?
Instead of a single starting frame you give the model several reference images. It uses them to keep the look of characters, products or places consistent in a new scene you describe.
How many references can I add?
It depends on the model: usually three images or more. The upload area in the studio shows the limit of the selected model.
How is it different from image to video?
Image to video animates exactly your photo as the first frame. Reference to video builds a new scene and only borrows the appearance of what is on your references.
Which models support references?
Veo 3.1, Seedance, Kling 3.0 Omni, MiniMax and Grok Imagine support reference images. The list below is always up to date.
