Worked example

Keep the same character across scenes.

One reference photo of Nora, a fictional night courier from a short drama series, and four new scenes. Only the prompt changes: her face, braid, eyebrow scar and yellow jacket stay the same.

How to make an AI video with your character

— 01 —

Upload your character

Add 1 to 9 clear photos of the same character: a portrait, a full body shot, other angles. No character yet? Create one in AI Characters inside ClipNova, then use it here.

— 02 —

Describe the new scene

Write what happens, where it happens and how the camera moves. Describe the action and the place, not the face: the reference already carries the look.

— 03 —

Pick format, length and quality

Choose 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1, a clip length, and Base, Pro or Ultra. The credit cost shows before you generate.

— 04 —

Reference to video AI

How consistent character AI video works

A normal text to video model invents a new person every time you generate. Ask for the same woman in a yellow jacket twice and you get two different women. That is why most AI series fall apart after the first clip.

Consistent character AI fixes this by starting from pictures instead of words. In ClipNova's Images to Video mode you upload photos of your character, and each photo teaches the model what that person looks like. The order does not matter and they are not keyframes: they are the identity the video has to keep.

Then you only describe what is new: the action, the place, the light and the camera. ClipNova renders a fresh clip with your character in it. Keep the same reference photos for the next scene or the next episode, and the face, hair and outfit carry over. Ask for a longer video and ClipNova plans it shot by shot, with your photos fed into every shot.

Use cases

What people make with consistent characters

The six uses we see most, from what ClipNova users create and what creators share online.

Story series

Short drama episodes

One lead character across every episode of a vertical drama or story channel, so viewers follow the same person from scene to scene.

Kids

A kids story hero

The same little hero in every bedtime story or lesson video, in a 3D cartoon, Pixar style or anime look.

Brands

A recurring brand mascot

Your mascot opens the shop, celebrates the sale and waves goodbye, looking identical in every ad and post.

Creators

An AI influencer persona

Post your AI persona at the market, at the gym or on a trip every day, with the same face in every video.

Ads

Your product with the same model

Upload a character and a product together and show them in a kitchen, a gym or on the street for UGC style ads.

Faceless channels

A narrator or host character

Give a faceless channel a recurring host who introduces every facts, history or horror episode.

Quality tiers

Pick the tier that fits the scene

Every tier keeps your character consistent. They differ in how many references they take, clip length and sound.

Tips

Get a character that stays on model

  1. Start with a clear reference

    A sharp, well lit photo with the face visible and a plain background gives the steadiest result.

  2. Add angles, not new looks

    Extra photos should show the same character from other sides or full body, in the same outfit.

  3. Describe the scene, not the face

    Write the action, place, light and camera. Repeating the look in words can pull the model away from the photos.

  4. Keep one reference set per character

    Save the photos you used and reuse exactly the same set for every scene and every episode.

  5. Two subjects? Use Pro

    Pro composes several references into one scene, which suits two characters or a character holding your product.

  6. No character yet?

    Create one in AI Characters inside ClipNova, choose a look such as realist or Pixar, then upload it here.

What you get

Consistency you can build a series on.

What the Images to Video mode gives you that prompt only generation never will.

Same face

Consistency you can publish

The face, hair and outfit in your reference photos carry into every new scene. No more generating ten times until the character happens to look right.

1 to 9

Photos become footage

Upload up to nine photos of your character and ClipNova turns them into video. No training, no LoRA, no setup.

5 min

Whole episodes, not just clips

Ask for a longer video and ClipNova plans it shot by shot, feeding your reference photos into every shot, up to 5 minutes.

FAQs

Frequently asked.

What is consistent character AI?

Consistent character AI keeps the same person, mascot or creature looking identical across different images or video clips. Instead of describing the character in words every time, you give the AI photos of it once, and every new scene keeps the same face, hair, outfit and proportions.

How do I make an AI video with my own character?

Open the Images to Video mode in ClipNova, upload 1 to 9 photos of your character, describe the new scene (what happens, where, how the camera moves), pick a format, length and quality tier, and generate. You can add a voiceover, music and captions before you download.

Can I keep the same character across multiple videos and episodes?

Yes, that is what this tool is for. Keep the reference photos you used and upload the same set for every new scene or episode. The character stays recognizable across the whole series without training a custom model.

How many reference images can I upload?

Base takes 1 to 7 images, Pro takes 2 to 4 and Ultra takes 1 to 9. One clear photo is often enough; more angles of the same character help in complex scenes.

Can I put two characters, or a character and a product, in one scene?

Yes. Upload photos of both subjects and describe how they appear together. The Pro tier is built to compose several references into one scene.

How long can a consistent character video be?

A single clip runs 4 to 10 seconds depending on the tier. Ask for a longer video and ClipNova plans it shot by shot with your references in every shot, up to 5 minutes.

How is this different from an AI character generator?

A character generator creates the character image. This tool takes a character you already have and keeps it the same in new video scenes. In ClipNova you can do both: create a character in AI Characters, then upload it here.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $19/mo. Each video uses credits, and the exact cost shows before you generate. A Base clip uses 80 credits; Pro and Ultra cost more and Ultra adds synced audio.

Do I keep the rights to videos made from my character?

Yes. Videos you generate come with full commercial rights on every plan. Make sure you own or have permission for the photos you upload, and don't use pictures of real people without their consent.
