The References library in Film Studio is a persistent collection of assets — characters, products, images, videos, and audio — that you can attach to any scene to maintain visual and auditory continuity throughout your project. References carry over across the entire film. Add a character once and use them in every scene without re-uploading or re-describing.Documentation Index

Reference types
| Type | Use case |
|---|---|
| Character | A person, creature, or avatar — keep their appearance consistent across all scenes |
| Product | A physical product — maintain accurate shape, color, and texture throughout |
| Image | Any static visual reference — props, locations, mood boards |
| Video | A motion reference — use for style, movement, or continuity reference |
| Audio | A voice, music track, or sound effect — attach to scenes for audio continuity |
Adding a reference
Create a new reference
Click + Add Reference and select the type (Character, Product, Image, Video, or Audio).
Upload your assets
Upload the relevant files. For characters and products, uploading multiple angles improves consistency — front, side, three-quarter, and back.
Name and describe
Give the reference a clear name and an optional description. The name is how you’ll reference it when attaching it to scenes.
Attaching references to scenes
Once saved, you can attach a reference to any scene from the Camera Controls or Create Video panel — look for the References slot in the scene settings. You can attach multiple references to a single scene.
