With Autopilot, we offer a built-in feature called Character Consistency. This means that you can prompt a subject or object of any kind - whether it's a human, animal, vehicles - you name it. This character or object will remain consistent in facial, bodily or structural features throughout your Autopilot video.
How should I prompt for a character?
By default, we offer Character Consistency on each project through the automated Video Concept that we provide. Please note that each video is limited to one character subject. We cannot guarantee that prompting multiple characters will be successful.
An ideal consistent character has a description of a few sentences with defining keywords. Here are some examples:
A fuzzy green alien with an antenna that has a glowing heart at the top. The alien has a light smile on their face, showing their welcoming attitude. In some scenes, the fuzzy green alien wears a silver spacesuit, and in other scenes the alien is wearing jean overalls to show their human-like nature. The fuzzy green alien has large googly eyes and no nose, their feet appear large with purple toenails.
CHARACTER CONSISTENCY: The character subject of the video is a female superwoman with glowing a glowing purple costume, and a flowing lavender cape. The female superwoman has a beautiful olive skin-tone which resembles her Egyptian heritage, and long luxurious and thick dark brown hair. She has a serious face with sharp facial features - determined and mission-driven eyes, a confident smile, and a sharp jaw. She wears her costume modestly while still being a strong female presence.
A fierce McLaren that has a metallic orange color with sharp bright purple LED headlights drives in the empty late-night streets of Tokyo. The McLaren has a vibrant finish of the orange metallic gloss, and reflects the city lights of Tokyo with pride. Alive and full of tension, the McLaren can drive from 0-60 in a matter of seconds, soaring through the streets and sometimes making air at steep hills. The McLaren has large rear intakes, sculpted sides with flowing lines, carbon-fiber accents, and signature McLaren badges.
As with any prompting technique, finding your perfect character may take some trial and error. After each edit in the Video Concept, you'll need to Regenerate Scenes on the Storyboard page to lock in your character.
How do I add the character into the project?
There's two options to create or make changes to your Video Concept to add your character.
Track Page to add Video Concept:
On the Track page, go to the Settings icon ( ⚙️ ) and click Video Concept. A prompt box will pop up on your Track page where you can then prompt what you'd like to see in your video.
Storyboard page, clicking Video Concept
On the Storyboard page, you can click Video Concept and a prompt box will pop up where you can prompt what you'd like to see in your video. Be sure to Regenerate Scenes after making changes, so that you can lock in your character.
