Saved characters

A face you name once and reuse in images, films and ads, without paying for its references again.

A saved character is a name, a description (the things that must stay the same: face, age, build, hair), a wardrobe, a few personality words, a reference sheet of photos, and optionally a voice. Once saved, the same person appears in every image and film you ask for, without describing them again.

The Characters tab: a card with three reference photos, the name Mara Quinn, a one-line description, two personality tags, and the actions Use in film, Image, Cast refs, edit and delete.
A saved character keeps a face and its references for every future film and image.

Create one

  1. Open Library → Characters and press New character.
  2. Give them a name and describe who they are. Add wardrobe and personality if they matter for the story.
  3. Upload reference photos (up to 12). Straight-on, well-lit, the same person in each. Save. Saving is free.
  4. To generate a sheet instead of (or on top of) uploads, press Cast refs: 1, 3 or 6 studio portraits at 3 credits each, anchored on the photos you already added.

Use one

  • In chat: type @ and pick the name, then ask. "@Ava on a rooftop at dusk" makes the picture from Ava's photos; "a 20-second film with @Milo" casts Milo with his sheet already attached.
  • Use in film: on the character's card, pick a Studio project. The character joins it with their sheet and voice, at no cost.
  • Image: on the card, opens the Image station with the face as the reference.
The prompt box with “put @ma” typed and a small Saved characters list above it showing Mara Quinn.
Type @ and pick the name; Enter inserts it.

From a film to the Library

In a Studio project's panel, each character has Save to library. Once saved, that face is available to every future film and to the Image station.
