A Reddit user found that a simple reference image made AI video generation keep a character together much better than text-only prompting.
In a side-by-side test, the reference-guided version stayed more consistent in appearance and motion, while the text-only clip drifted more and showed occasional limb morphing. It is not a perfect fix—hands and fine motion still need retries—but it noticeably improved character consistency.
