Use references to guide AI video
Reference images help keep people, products, outfits, props, and scenes recognizable while you explore motion, camera, and model-specific video generation.
Creator workflow
Naviya connects prompt writing, first-frame creation, video model selection, and reusable production paths.
Reference-driven consistency
People, objects, and scenes
Better creative iteration
Identity anchor
Use references when a product, face, outfit, prop, or scene layout should remain recognizable across generated motion.
Style transfer
References can guide color palette, illustration language, studio lighting, texture, and framing without rewriting the prompt from scratch.
Model selection
Choose a video model based on whether the priority is realistic movement, stylized animation, speed, or reference consistency.
How to use references well
01
Pick clean references
Use sharp, uncluttered images where the important subject is easy to identify.
02
Name what must stay fixed
Tell the model which elements should remain unchanged: label, outfit, face shape, color, camera framing, or object silhouette.
03
Add motion carefully
Start with subtle motion. Large action, fast camera movement, and heavy effects can reduce reference fidelity.
Best reference-to-video use cases
Product videos
Keep bottle shape, packaging, logo placement, and material finish stable during motion.
Creator characters
Use a visual reference to preserve an outfit, face, or illustration style while testing motion.
Brand visual systems
Carry a consistent palette, scene language, and art direction into multiple short clips.
Storyboard continuity
Use references to keep a scene family coherent while exploring camera variations.
Example reference-to-video prompt
Use the uploaded reference as the visual anchor. Keep the subject outfit, face shape, and color palette consistent. The camera slowly pushes forward through soft fog while neon reflections move across the background. Smooth cinematic motion, no scene cuts.
The first sentence tells the model how to use the reference.
The fixed elements are explicit.
Motion is directed without asking for a different subject.
