🌟 How do I keep characters, objects, and locations consistent?

The biggest giveaway in AI video is drift: a character's face changing between scenes, a product looking different each time, or a location that won't stay the same. Atlabs solves this with three top-bar tools, Characters, Objects, and Locations, that lock an entity's appearance and reuse it across every scene. Define it once, and it stays consistent everywhere it appears.

Keep characters consistent

Use Characters to define each person or creature that recurs in your video, their look, and identity, so their face and design stay the same from scene to scene.

1. Click Characters in the top bar.
2. Add or select a character, and set its reference appearance.
3. Apply it across the scenes where that character appears.

Keep objects consistent

Use Objects to lock a recurring item, a product, a prop, a logo'd package, so it looks the same every time it appears. This is especially useful for product ads where the item must match the real thing in every shot.

1. Click Objects in the top bar.
2. Add or select the object and set its reference.
3. Apply it across the relevant scenes.

Keep locations consistent

Use Locations to fix a setting, a bakery, an office, a street, so the environment stays coherent across scenes set in the same place.

1. Click Locations in the top bar.
2. Add or select the location and set its reference.
3. Apply it across the relevant scenes.

💡 Tips:

• Set up characters, objects, and locations early, before generating motion, so every scene builds on the same references.
• If one scene drifts, reapply the entity from its top-bar tool rather than regenerating the whole video.
• Combine all three for story-driven content (like animated or music videos), where the same cast, props, and settings recur throughout.
