Elements are saved visual references — a set of images of the same character or object that the model uses to keep its appearance consistent throughout a video, or across multiple videos. Once an element is created, you can call it up in any supported workflow without re-uploading your references each time.

​
Where to create an element

Elements can be created from three places:
  • Reference Image to Video
  • Edit Video
  • Reference Video
In any of these, look for the Elements button at the bottom left of the prompt box.

How to create a new element

1

Open the Elements panel

Click the Elements button at the bottom left of the prompt box in any supported workflow.
2

Create a new element

Click Create a new element in the panel that appears.
3

Upload reference images

Upload up to 3 reference images of your character or object. A frontal image is required. Adding images from different angles — side, three-quarter, back — trains the model on all sides of the element and produces more consistent results.
4

Name your element

Set an element name and an optional description to keep your library organized.
5

Save and use

Save the element. It will now appear in your Elements library, ready to reference in any supported workflow.

​
Using an existing element

Once an element is saved, you can reference it in two ways:
  • From the Elements panel — click the Elements button and select an existing element from your library to attach it to the current generation.
  • Using @ in your prompt — type @ followed by the element name directly in your prompt during video generation or editing. The model will use that element as a visual reference for the subject in your output.
For best results, upload a clear frontal image as your primary reference and supplement it with side or three-quarter angle shots. The more angles the model has, the more reliably it maintains the element’s appearance across different shots and camera angles.

​
When to use elements

If your video features a recurring character, saving them as an element ensures their appearance stays consistent from shot to shot, regardless of changes in lighting, angle, or scene.
For product videos or branded content, saving a product as an element prevents visual drift between cuts and keeps details like color, shape, and texture accurate throughout.
Elements persist across sessions. You can reference the same character or object in separate videos without re-uploading your images each time.
