What's the difference between reference-to-video and image-to-video?

Image-to-video animates a single source image. Reference-to-video accepts up to 5 separate references for character, motion, background, and style, then composes them into one video. R2V handles multi-character scenes and holds identity better across longer clips.

How many references can I upload, and what types?

Up to 5 references per generation. Mix images and short videos in any combination. Image references anchor appearance, background, or style; video references anchor motion.

Can I keep multiple characters consistent across the video?

Yes. Assign each character its own reference slot, then tag them in the prompt with @ref1, @ref2, and so on. The generator holds each identity in its own track across every frame.

Can I use a video as a reference for motion?

Yes. Upload a short clip as one of your references and the generator copies the choreography onto your character. Useful when motion is easier to show than to describe.

What resolution and duration can I generate?

720p or 1080p, in 5, 10, or 15-second clips. Five aspect ratios cover portrait and landscape.

What does @reference syntax look like in a prompt?

Tag references in plain text. Example: "Two women on a couch, @ref1 in red, @ref2 in black." Each tag pins the matching reference to the subject you mention.

Can I lock the first frame so the video starts from my chosen pose?

Yes. The start frame slot pins the opening pose. Leave it empty and the generator picks the entry frame on its own.

Is this free to try? What's the credit limit?

The reference-to-video flow is free to try with a daily credit allowance on our partner platform. Heavy use refreshes every 24 hours, and no card is required to start.

Is reference-to-video NSFW-friendly? Are there content limits?

Reference-to-video accepts adult content for fictional characters and unrestricted prompt writing. The only hard limits sit on the compliance line — no real-person references, no minors, no non-consensual scenarios.

Can I use a copyrighted character or a real person as a reference?

No real-person references without explicit consent. Fictional characters only. 18+ users only.

How Reference-to-Video Works

Four steps from your reference pile to a finished NSFW video.

01
Upload References
Drop up to 5 images or short videos. Each one anchors a different dimension — character, motion, background, or style.
02
Lock Start Frame
Pick the first frame the video opens on. Optional — skip it and the generator chooses for you.
03
Write Prompt with @reference
Describe the scene. Tag specific references like @ref1 to pin identity to the right subject.
Two women on a couch, @ref1 in red, @ref2 in black
04
Generate
Pick resolution (720p or 1080p) and duration (5, 10, or 15 seconds), then generate.

6 Reference-to-Video NSFW Use Cases

Reference-to-video handles more than character portraits. Mix subjects, swap costumes, or copy motion straight from a clip.

Couple Together
Two character references rendered into one intimate scene.
Costume Swap
Same character, different outfit pulled from a costume reference.
Style Transfer
Your character, rendered in an anime style pulled from a reference.
Background Swap
Same subject, different setting pulled from a background reference.
Motion From Video
Drive choreography from a short video reference instead of describing it.
Multi-Subject Scene
Three or more characters in one frame, each from a separate reference.

Reference-to-Video vs Image-to-Video NSFW

Each reference slot drives one part of the output. Mix and match to control the whole scene.

Character Consistency
Image-to-video infers identity from one source frame, so faces start to drift or melt past the 3-second mark. R2V dedicates a separate slot to facial features and re-anchors them on every frame. Your character holds the same look across 5, 10, or 15-second clips — even when the camera or outfit changes.
Multi-Character Scenes
Single-image generators can only animate one subject because they only have one source to learn from. R2V takes up to 5 separate references and lets you tag them in the prompt with @ref1, @ref2, and so on. Compose couples or full group scenes where every face stays distinct in the same shot.
Motion Control
Prompt-only motion is lossy — text rarely captures timing or the exact pose you have in mind. R2V reads a short video reference and re-applies the choreography onto your character, frame by frame. Easier than typing "slow hip sway, head tilt right at 0:02" and hoping the model agrees.
Background and Style
Single-image tools bake the background, lighting, and art style together — change one and you lose all of them. R2V splits each into its own reference slot, so you can mix and match without rebuilding the source image. Swap a bedroom for a beach, or pair an anime style reference with a photoreal face — one swap at a time.
