Take your character beyond a single scene and into new settings and stories. Add a character image as a reference in Toonkit and describe the action and framing to create AI video shots guided by the same visual identity. Compare the scenes in your storyboard and refine the shots that need attention, building from a character introduction to an animation with a story to tell.
Define the face, outfit and silhouette before creating more scenes. Include the hairstyle, colors and clothing details in your reference and describe them consistently. This gives you a clear standard for reviewing character continuity in a new setting.
Change the setting and action while reusing your character references. Reuse the reference and specify a different action or camera framing for each shot. Supported reference inputs let you explore introductions, dialogue scenes and changes of location.
Review each result and refine the shots that drift from your visual direction. Compare faces, clothes and props across storyboard shots before regenerating a result. Keep the clips you have already selected and replace the parts that break the sequence.
Choose a clear reference and any useful additional views. Keep the hairstyle, outfit and proportions consistent in your character sheet. Use Toonkit’s character sheet generation or upload an existing image to establish that reference. Comparing front and side views makes differences between shots easier to spot.
Add references to your chosen model, then describe the action, setting and framing. Supported reference types and limits vary by model; check the available options before generating. Separate the action and setting you want to change from the character details you want to retain. Play the generated clip and check the appearance at both the beginning and the end.
Explore reference-to-video
Compare the face, clothes and accessories between takes. References help preserve identity, but a new angle or complex action may need several attempts. Review adjacent storyboard shots together to catch changes in color or accessories that are easy to miss in isolation. Apply the same visual criteria to close-ups and full-body shots.
Image needed
The same character in five shots: front, profile, movement, close-up and a new setting.
Return to the source image, simplify the movement or regenerate the affected shot. Assemble the selected takes in the editor and check how they flow together. Adjust clip order and the sections used in the editor, checking how the movements connect. Focus new generations on the awkward transition instead of remaking every selected shot.
Choose images that define the face, outfit and visual style. Upload a prepared image or generate a character sheet to define the appearance. Choose references that clearly show the face and clothing, and keep them ready for subsequent shots.
Load the references, describe a simple action and check the model settings. Describe one action, its setting and the camera framing, then check duration options and displayed credits. Watch the first result to review the face, outfit and movement.
Approve the appearance, then reuse the references for the next shot. Compare adjacent shots in the storyboard and regenerate results that break continuity. Arrange the selected videos in the editor, review the sequence and export it.
Start with a reference and a first shot, then build your story.
