Prompt: The perfume bottle from @Image1 stands on a mossy rock in the middle of a misty forest stream at dawn. Soft sunbeams cut through the trees, clear water flows gently around the rock and a few petals drift past. Slow cinematic push in, the bottle keeps the exact shape and golden label from the reference. Gentle water and birdsong.

Prompt: The old fisherman from @Image1, in his yellow raincoat and knit cap, on the green hill with the blooming cherry tree from @Image2. A wooden bench stands on the grass in front of the cherry tree, facing the camera, with the tree trunk behind it. 0-2s: the fisherman walks slowly across the grass from the right toward the bench. 2-4s: he stops in front of the bench, turns around with his back to the backrest and sits down on the seat, facing the camera. 4-5s: he rests his hands on his knees and smiles as pink petals drift down around him. Warm spring afternoon, gentle breeze, birdsong. Wide shot with a very slow push in, the whole bench stays in frame.

Prompt: The old fisherman from @Image1 dances on a wooden harbor pier at sunrise, copying the exact moves, rhythm and camera framing of the dancer in @Video1. His yellow raincoat swings as he moves and fishing boats bob in the background. Upbeat electronic beat, seagulls calling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Veevid Reference to Video AI
Reference to Video is an AI-powered tool that generates videos based on reference images you provide.

You can upload 1 to 3 reference images per generation. Using multiple references allows you to define different aspects of your video - for example, one image for the character's face, another for the environment, and a third for the art style or additional character.
