AI Character Consistency Guide — Keep the Same Face Across Videos | RevidAPI

What is character consistency?

Keeping the same identity (face, hair, signature outfit, voice) across assets — episode 1 and 10 must read as the same virtual KOL.

Distinct from “style consistency” — this focuses on human/avatar recognition.

Three methods on RevidAPI

1. Reference image lock: Same portrait on every I2V/T2V job.

2. KOL AI + Lipsync: Create avatar once at KOL AI, new scripts → same face mesh.

3. Character bible in Prompt Library: Fixed description block at Prompt Library.

Step-by-step — 10-episode series

Step 1: Generate 3 reference shots (frontal, 3/4, full body) with Flux.

Step 2: Set up KOL AI avatar for voice + face sync.

Step 3: Workflow: Script → KOL AI → Lipsync → 9:16 export.

Step 4: B-roll without face: same seed + character bible T2V.

Step 5: QA each episode — compare first 3 frames to reference.
