Keep a character
Press Keep as character on a picture on your board, or ask the Director to keep one. A new character needs a name and what they are. Keeping is free.
Name them in your words
Say who's in the scene, or add them from Saved aspects under +. The Director tags them in the Prompt, and their pictures go with the job.
Generate
The card shows the model and the price on Generate. No render is charged until you press it.

The practical details
Consistent Characters, in practice
- What it keeps
- A picture of your character, their name and what they are, in your Assets. You can add more pictures to them later.
- The picture
- One of your uploads or references, a picture made in the project, or a still you cut from a video.
- In a film
- A film carries a character's pictures or start and end frames, not both. Veo 3.1 carries them only on its Lite and Fast takes, at 8 seconds. 31 of the video models can also open on a still of them.
- What it costs
- Keeping a character is free. A job that carries them costs what any job on its model costs, and Qwen 3 Image to image and Qwen 3 Pro image to image add a charge for each picture.
