World and References

Create optional Cast, Location, and Look & feel references, choose approved versions, and attach them to individual scenes.

World is optional

World helps a movie stay visually consistent. You can generate or upload references for Cast, Location, and Look & feel, then choose the approved version for each item. A movie can also be made without World.

Create a world

1. Describe the world. Use Generate world for one shared brief across Cast, Location, and Look & feel, or add one reference at a time.
2. Generate or upload. Generated references use the selected image model, quality, and frame. Uploaded references can be PNG, JPEG, or WebP.
3. Iterate. Open a reference to generate another version, then select the view that should represent it.
4. Attach by scene. In a scene's Still step, add only the references needed for that shot. A scene accepts up to three.

World brief:

Maya, a practical night-shift photographer; a small corner cafe in steady rain; warm noir photography with amber practicals and soft 35mm grain

• Cast: identity, silhouette, wardrobe, and recurring character details.
• Location: architecture, layout, materials, weather, and recurring spaces.
• Look & feel: palette, lighting, texture, lens language, and overall visual treatment.

World references are baked into the selected keyframe. Motion uses that frame, so the same references are not sent to the motion provider again.
