Using Reference Images for Better Video Edits

Reference images help lock in product appearance, character style, color palette, and first-frame direction before previewing a video edit.


Using Reference Images for Better Video Edits


Text is often enough for broad direction, but a reference image helps when identity, color, texture, or product detail needs to stay precise.


Use a reference for identity


Upload a product photo, character frame, outfit reference, or visual mood board when the result needs to match a specific look.


Explain how it should move


Do not only describe the image. Describe the motion: rotate slowly, push camera forward, keep the person still, reveal the logo, or let fabric move with the wind.


Connect image and video


When editing a video, references can guide the new style while the original clip keeps the motion. This is useful for fashion changes, product variants, campaign looks, and scene restyling.


Start Editing Your Original Video

Upload a clip, describe the visual change, and try the OmniVideo.run editing workspace.
