reference to video
Reference to Video is a web-based AI video generator that creates videos from image, video, and audio references. Users choose a model, add compatible reference assets, mention them in a prompt, and generate videos intended to preserve specific elements such as characters, products, motion, camera direction, style, sound, and timing. The product promotes a reference-first workflow in which source assets act as creative evidence for different parts of a shot, rather than asking a text prompt to remember every detail. The homepage shows templates and examples for same-character scenes, stylized 3D game UI, multi-character stories, product-plus-person UGC ads, anime/OC characters, fashion outfit consistency, product consistency, music video performers, and mascot or game characters. The interface exposes model selection and output settings, with an example configuration listing Seedance 2.0 Mini, 16:9 aspect ratio, 720P, 10 seconds, and 1× generation. The site offers a free start option and displays credit history, though public pricing specifics are not included in the available homepage source. No GitHub repository or public API documentation is referenced.

Problem solved
AI video generators often struggle to keep character identity, product appearance, wardrobe, motion, camera direction, style, and audio consistent across multiple shots when relying only on text prompts. Reference to Video addresses this by letting users upload image, video, and audio references that define specific visual or auditory elements of the output, reducing drift and the need for reshoots.
