Reference to Video AI Generator
Use multiple reference materials to direct a new scene. The selected workflow accepts visual and audio references alongside your prompt.
Reference images
Reference videos
Guide the video with images, video and audio. Refer to Image 1, Video 1 or Audio 1 in your prompt. Audio also needs an image or video.
Enter at least 3 characters to continue.
What you can create with Reference to Video
Assign each reference a role, such as character appearance, camera movement or audio mood. This creates a new clip from your direction; use Recast when the goal is to retain the original footage and replace a person.
When to use this tool
Reference to Video suits a newly directed scene in which different files supply the character appearance, movement style and sound direction.
Provide at least an image or video. You can upload up to 12 files across all reference types, with no more than nine images, three videos or three audio clips within that total; the individual maxima cannot all be used at once. To retain the original sequence and replace its person, use MiniMax H3 Recast; to continue a source clip, use Extend Video.
A prompt to adapt
Use the person from image 1, the alley lighting from image 2, and the tracking movement of video 1 to create a new walking shot.

Can I generate from audio references alone?
