Keep the same face or character in every video
If you only describe a person in words, the AI invents a new face every time. The trick is to start every video from the same picture. Here are four ways to do that in SupaSwirl.
Why faces change
A text prompt like “a young woman with long dark hair” describes millions of people, so every video picks a new one. A picture removes the guesswork: the model starts from that exact face and keeps it.
1. Use the same start image every time
In the Video generator, add a photo of your person or character as the Start image, then describe only what happens: the movement, the setting and the camera. Use the same photo for every clip and the face stays the same.
- Example
- Start image: your brand model holding the bottle. Prompt: she lifts the bottle towards the camera and smiles, soft morning light, slow push-in.
2. Make one character image, then animate it
No photo yet? Create your character once in the Image generator. In your Library, choose Animate this to turn that image into a video, as many times as you like. Each video starts from the same image, so the character stays recognisable.
3. Several shots in one ad
- Pro Shots with Kling 3.0 Pro plans 2 to 6 shots in one video and keeps products and people consistent between them.
- End image lets a clip finish on a picture you choose, handy for ending on your product or character.
- The Ad builder can start its product shots from your product photo, so the product looks the same in every shot.
4. Make your character move like a video
Motion Control copies the movement from a video (a dance, a gesture, a product demo) onto your character image. The face and outfit come from your picture.
Tips for a steady look
- Use a clear, well-lit picture where the face is visible and not covered.
- Keep the same clothing and hairstyle words in your prompt, or leave them out so the picture decides.
- Do not describe a different age, hair colour or body in the prompt; the model may follow the words instead of the picture.
Only people who agreed
Use photos of yourself, people who gave permission, or characters you created. Never use celebrities or other real people without their consent.
Questions
Can SupaSwirl keep the same face across different videos?
Yes, when every video starts from the same picture: the same start image in the Video generator, the same image animated with Animate this, or the same character image in Motion Control. A text prompt alone gives a new face each time.
Which model keeps people consistent across several shots?
Kling 3.0 Pro with Pro Shots keeps products and people consistent between the shots of one video.
