How does an AI video generator with reference work?
It is a text-to-video tool that interprets reference style descriptions to generate matching video clips. You describe the visual mood, color palette, lighting quality, and composition style you want, and the tool creates a video that reflects those aesthetic choices. No images are uploaded; all reference information is provided through text.

Limitations to know before generating
The tool interprets style descriptions but does not accept uploaded reference images or files.
Visual style matching depends on the clarity and specificity of your text description; vague references produce unpredictable results.
Avoid naming specific copyrighted works; use generic style terms instead to prevent IP issues.
Complex or nuanced styles may require multiple iterations to achieve the desired aesthetic.
Review each generated clip to ensure the style matches your intent before using it in projects.
