The Challenge of Multi-Shot Continuity

One of the biggest roadblocks in AI filmmaking is character drift: your protagonist's face, clothing, or age changes drastically from shot to shot.

The Anchor Tag Technique

Rather than describing your character differently in every scene prompt, define a structured Character Bible once and reference unique anchor continuity tags (e.g., #DrJaneLabCoat).

  • Exact Age & Facial Features: Late 30s woman, sharp jawline, wireframe spectacles
  • Wardrobe Materials: Tailored charcoal wool blazer with rolled cuffs
  • Lighting Harmony: Consistent key and fill light temperatures across scenes

By establishing a Stage 2 Character Roster before breaking down scenes, VidRaft locks down character traits across your entire video package.
