Character consistency
Last updated: September 24, 2026
Definition
Character consistency is keeping the same face, wardrobe, and identity across every shot of an AI film instead of the character quietly changing from one generation to the next. It is achieved by anchoring each shot to a shared reference rather than by writing a more detailed prompt for each shot in isolation.
How it works in FXI Studio
In FXI Studio, consistency is the point of Director Mode: Bezaleel plans shots as one connected scene and carries the character, style, and setting across cuts rather than treating each generation as unrelated.
Reference media locks the look further, and frame chaining carries a face forward from a shot final frame into the next shot, so movement between shots does not reset the character.
