Do reference sketches beat text prompts for character consistency across AI video clips?
Brave-Round-3573 · reddit · 2026-09-27
A Redditor proposes a controlled test: with the same scenes and generation budget, compare (1) a detailed text description per shot vs. (2) one character sketch plus two scene sketches reused as visual references.
The key point: judge the edited three-shot sequence, not the best frame from each generation — does the character still look like the same person after each cut? If not, would you revise the reference images, simplify the motion, or edit around the mismatch? The author wants methods that hold up across multiple clips, failures included.
