Most AI image-to-video generation tools support first-frame reference images. Considering how much more expensive video generation is compared to image generation, it makes sense to use image references, like a first frame, when generating videos. However, providing a first-frame image, with or without a last-frame reference, still fails when you need character consistency because the AI model only knows what the character looks like in the first-frame image. Fortunately, SeeDance 2.0 supports multiple reference images, so you can upload both a first-frame image and a character sheet containing different views of a character.

For example, I had the following character sheet.

I then used it to create the following first-frame image using Nano Banana 2 in OpenArt.ai.

If I zoom in, I can see that the face looks close enough to the one in the character sheet.

When I created a video using Kling 2.5 of the woman walking, using that image as the first frame, I got the following.

The video starts out fine because of the first-frame reference, but as it progresses, the woman’s face slowly changes and looks less and less like the one in the character sheet. Here’s a screenshot of just her face in one frame of the video.

What’s particularly different is the nose, but the width and height of her face looks somewhat different as well, especially compared to the character sheet.

Now, let’s see how the same video turned out using SeeDance 2.0 with multiple references. For this, I used Kie.ai.

Since I wanted to keep the setting and just replace the subject, I used Photoshop to “remove” the subject from the previous image. I selected the subject and clicked “Remove”, which used AI to remove the woman.

This is what I got.

Next, I upload the character sheet and setting image to Kie.ai (SeeDance 2.0 page), gave it the same prompt I used in Kling 2.5.

Here’s the resulting video.

Notice how the character looks EXACTLY like the one in the character sheet throughout the entire video clip.

Here’s a close-up of the face near the end of the clip.

I just made this music video, and the lip-sync portion is amazingly impressive.

I actually used SeeDance 2.0 Fast at Kie.ai, but you can use SeeDance 2.0 as well and get up to 1080p resolution. For each generation, I used

• Prompt
• Reference image (not first-frame image)
• Reference video (this was just a black video containing the audio clip)
• “Generate audio” enabled
• “Web search” disabled
• Duration = duration of reference video

SeeDance 2.0 supports generating videos up to 15 seconds long. But, if you give it a 15s reference video and you want to lipsync a character in it, the lipsync won’t work. So, when generating lipsync videos, always provide a reference video that is no longer than 13 seconds to be safe.

When creating reference videos, make sure the duration is a whole number, not a fraction, e.g., 5 full seconds, not 5.5 seconds. The reason is because in the UI, Kie.ai or another app may round down the duration to the nearest whole second, and if you tell SeeDance you want to generate a 5s video, then it will generate a 5s video, not a 5.5-second video, and your lip-sync video will be truncated. I use Capcut to generate my black reference videos. I put a playhead at a location where I want a segment to begin and end and set a marker at each location, making sure the time ends with :00 (no frames), e.g.

• start 2:54:00
• end: 3:04:00
• duration = 10s

If I really need to split at a location between seconds, like 2:54:09, then make sure the end location includes the same number of frames, e.g., 3:04:09, so you end up with a duration in whole seconds.

SeeDance 2 supports reference audio, but for some reason, it didn’t lip-sync my reference image, and sometimes it would change the lyrics.

Also, the following method worked well for English audio. It may not work for other languages. If you find that it doesn’t work for your language, then see some options below.

Here’s a screenshot of the inputs.

Below are the inputs and outputs for various lip-sync clips.

A man (same subject, unchanged face and outfit) singing into a microphone at the center of a large ancient Roman-style amphitheater at night. Camera is positioned at chest height, medium close-up framing, stable and focused on the singer.

The audience fills the stone bleachers behind him, hundreds of people seated and standing, naturally animated: subtle head movements, clapping, cheering, shifting in seats, occasional phone screens glowing, realistic variation in motion without repetition.

Warm golden stage lighting illuminates the singer from the front and slightly below, creating a cinematic glow on his face. Behind the singer, rows of soft amber lights line the steps and columns. Moving stage lights sweep slowly across the audience and architecture, creating gentle light motion across the crowd and stone surfaces.

The night sky is clear with visible stars. Light atmospheric haze adds depth and catches the beams of moving lights. The columns and amphitheater remain stable and realistic.

The singer performs naturally: subtle head movement, mouth lip-syncing accurately, slight body sway, breathing and posture shifts.

Camera behavior: very subtle cinematic push-in (slow, minimal), no drifting or unintended orbit, no zoom jitter. Maintain subject as the clear focal point at all times.

Depth of field: subject sharp, audience slightly softened but still readable.

Lighting style: warm amber/yellow tones only, no harsh white light, no overexposure, cinematic contrast.

Singing Lip Sync Videos Using HeyGen

If your song is not in English and SeeDance 2.0 can’t lip-sync it correctly, then use HyeGen with custom motion enabled, as follows.

Log in to HeyGen and create an avatar. You can simply upload a photo of your singer. I used the one below. I put my avatar on a green background so I can chroma key it out.

Open Avatar Studio and

• in the Script section on the left, instead of typing your script, upload your song’s audio (mp3)
• in the Avatar and Voice section on the right, under Voice, you can ignore this since you’ll be using the audio you uploaded
• in the Avatar and Voice section on the right, under Motion Engine, choose “Avatar IV”

then, and this is important, click the “Advanced Settings” button.

Toggle on “More expressive motion” and enter a custom motion prompt.

Optionally, you may click the “Generate motion prompts” icon, which will generate motion tags as shown below.

Then, click the Generate button.

Following are examples comparing different settings.

HeyGen LipSync Using Avatar IV WITHOUT Custom Motion

HeyGen LipSync Using Avatar IV WITH Custom Motion

In this example, I didn’t click the “Generate motion prompt” button.

HeyGen LipSync Using Avatar IV WITH Custom Motion

In this example, I did click the “Generate motion prompt” button.

As you can see, in the first example, the avatar doesn’t look like he is singing at all, and in the last 2 examples, the avatar looks more expressive. It may be difficult to tell the difference for such a short clip, but the difference is actually huge when you lipsync a full song, as in the following example.

The lip-sync quality is definitely not as good as SeeDance 2.0, but it seems to be the best option when SeeDance 2.0 doesn’t work for a particular language.

UPDATE 6/5/2026

There’s another way to generate lip-sync videos using SeeDance 2.0, and it supports non-English languages. Here, I’m using Kie.ai. Instead of uploading a black video with audio, I upload an audio and include the lyrics in the prompt.

Create Cinematic, Multi-Shot Lip-sync Music Videos

To create cinematic, multi-shot lip-sync music videos in one SeeDance 2.0 video generation, do the following:

1. Give Claude or ChatGPT the lyrics to the whole song so it knows what the song is about
2. Create reference video clips in 720p containing audio segments that are 14s or less. Don’t split mid-word.
3. For each clip, give Claude the mp3 and the lyrics for that clip, if any, and tell Claude you want a SeeDance prompt to generate a music video. Specifically, tell Claude to give you the shots (scenes) similar to the example below.

Shot 1: Medium-close on the singer at golden hour along a cliffside coast, glowing amber coastline and ocean curving behind him, warm sun on his face. Camera slow gentle push-in. He is the only person in frame.

Shot 2: Medium shot of the singer standing at a coastal overlook, vast golden California coastline stretching into the distance behind him, soft waves and warm haze. Camera slow drift. He is the only person in frame.

Shot 3: Medium-close, front-on, on the singer with the blazing golden sunset coastline glowing behind him, the warmest light of the clip full on his face, a peaceful contented expression. Camera slow push-in. He is the only person in frame.

Then, append it to your base prompt, which is

LYRICS: “[enter lyrics for the clip / segment here]”

use the song from the given video (@video1) and use the character from the given image (@image1) to make a music video of the man singing the song

@image1 is the face and identity reference for the lead singer — match his face, afro, beard, and glasses to @image2 throughout, keeping his identity consistent.

The generated audio must match the audio in @video1 EXACTLY and the lip sync must match the vocal segments in @video1 EXACTLY.

4. Add your character sheet as the first reference image (@image1).

5. Add your reference video

6. Specify a duration that matches the reference video duration

In the right pane, click “Video Overview” to have NotebookLM generate an overview video based on the content and your prompt. My 4-minute video was generated in a few minutes.

Let’s say you have the rights to a song, e.g, a song that’s in the public domain, and you want to create a cover for it by only replacing the lyrics. Here’s how you can do it using ChatGPT and Suno AI.

Upload the original song to Suno

For this example, I uploaded this song.

Suno will add your uploaded song to your workspace, as shown below. When you click on the song’s title, you’ll see an auto-generated style description of the song and the lyrics.

Song Style

A French pop song with a moderate tempo and a romantic, dreamy atmosphere, The instrumentation features a prominent acoustic guitar playing arpeggiated chords, a bass guitar providing a smooth, walking bass line, and a drum kit with a soft, brushed snare sound, Synthesizers contribute to the ethereal quality with pad sounds and occasional melodic lines, The female lead vocalist sings with a soft, breathy tone, employing a gentle vibrato, The song structure follows a verse-chorus pattern with a bridge, The chord progression is primarily diatonic, creating a sense of warmth and familiarity, Reverb is applied generously to the vocals and some instrumental elements, enhancing the dreamy quality, The overall mix is balanced, with the vocals sitting clearly in the foreground

Song Lyrics

Generate new lyrics

To create new lyrics, the easiest way is to ask ChatGPT to do it for you. For example, here’s a prompt I gave ChatGPT to generate new lyrics that meet my specific criteria:

ChatGPT will then respond with the lyrics. Here’s what it gave me:

Create cover song

Now that you have new lyrics, go back to Suno and click on the 3 dots next to the original song title, the click “Remix/Edit” > “Cover”

In the left pane, Suno will load the original song and lyrics. Replace the original lyrics with your new lyrics. In the “Style” field, paste the Suno-generated style description. Suno will also set some advanced options, like “weirdness”, “style influence”, and “audio influence”. You can keep the defaults.

Click “Create”. Suno will create 2 cover songs, as shown below.

Edit the cover song

After listening to the two cover songs, I like the second one more, but one section didn’t sound right. Some of the lines in verse 2 sounded rushed. To fix this, edit the song by clicking on “Open in Editor”.

With the editor open, you’ll see the song’s waveform, color-coded by section. Click on the section containing the lyrics you wan to edit. In this example, that’s the pink section shown below. When you click on it, the lyrics for the section will be selected in the lyrics box on the left. You can then type in revised lyrics in the “new lyrics” box below it. In this case, I made some of the lyrics shorter (fewer words).

Click the “Replace” button. Suno will generate two alternate versions of that section with the modified lyrics you provided. Click the play button beside each one to preview the alternate versions. If you don’t like either one, click “Regenerate” to generate more versions. When you like a version, click “Commit” to replace the section with the new section.

When you’re done editing, click “Save as new song”. The edited song will appear in your workspace.

You can then download the song.

Here’s the cover song in English. As you’ll hear, the backing instrumentals sound almost identical to the original French song, but the lyrics are new.

Recently, I needed some high-quality Mediterranean images. I tried searching stock photo libraries, but they were expensive, it took too long, and the images weren’t that good or what I was really looking for. I found several videos on YouTube that had the type of images I wanted, but I didn’t want to copy them exactly, so I used AI to create new images inspired by them. Here’s how I created them.

I ended up using the images to create 5-second background videos using Kling AI for this music video:

There are many talking lipsync AI tools out there. The inputs are usually text and an image of a person. The results are almost indistinguishable from a non-AI talking video. But when it comes to lipsync videos involving singing, that’s a whole different story. Generating realistic singing lipsync videos is apparently very challenging. Tools like Kling AI and Runway ML, despite being very popular tools for video generation, do a horrible job at this. After trying a number of tools, the two best ones I’ve found are TopMediAI and HeyGen. In this post, I’ll share my experience using them.

UPDATE 12/19/2025: Longcat Avatar is a new option that is worth trying and comparing against.

UPDATE 12/8/2025: There’s a new singing lipsync generator called WaveSpeed MultiTalk (WAN 2.1). Preliminary testing indicates that, with respect to video quality, MultiTalk is better than TopMediAI but not as good as Heygen. With respect to lipsync, Multitalk is just as good as TopMediAI and better than Heygen.

TopMediAI Singing Photo Maker

Website

This tool does a decent job at creating singing lipsync videos, and the interface is very simple and intuitive. Though it’s designed for singing, it’s far from perfect.

Inputs

• upload an audio file (mp3) between 2 and 30 seconds
• upload an image of the character you want to sing

When generating a video using TopMediAI, sometimes, generation will fail repeatedly. From my experience, you have to keep trying 3-5 times until generation succeeds. It’s annoying, but it’ll eventually work.

HeyGen

Website

This tool was designed for creating talking lipsync videos, not for singing. Nevertheless, it’s most advanced motion engine (Avatar IV) does a pretty good job a generating a singing lipsync video if you choose the “Quality” mode with a “Custom motion” value of “singing”. If you use the “Avatar Unlimited” engine, the results are just not good enough, in my opinion.

Update 12/8/2025: If you use the “Faster” generation mode, the quality appears to be just as good as the “Quality” mode, so just choose that mode since it costs half the cost of the “Quality” mode.

The process to create a lipsync video using HeyGen is more complex. Here are the steps:

1. Click “Avatars” > “Create New” > “Start from a photo” >
2. Upload a photo and wait for it to be processed

3. Choose to create a new avatar or add the photo as a new “look” of an existing avatar. (One avatar can have multiple “looks”)
4. Click “Create with AI Studio”

5. Click “Audio” > “Upload Audio” , then upload your audio clip. You can upload a clip anywhere between 1 second and 3 minutes.

You can also choose from a previously uploaded audio.

6. Play and confirm the uploaded/selected audio.

7. HeyGen will attempt to transcribe the audio. If transcription fails, you won’t be able to proceed. In my experience, if it fails, it’s usually because the audio clip is too short. When I upload a longer clip, it usually can transcribe it. Note that the transcription can be wrong. This doesn’t appear to matter, as the video generation appears to be based on sound rather than words.

8. Click “Generate”.

Comparing HeyGen to TopMediAI

Body movements

Neither TopMediAI nor HeyGen will make your character dance, but they will animate your character’s body to some extent. This is good, because older technologies literally only animated the lips or face and left everything else frozen/static. I feel that TopMediAI generates stronger body and lip movements, which makes the results look more realistic from that perspective.

Lipsync accuracy

When uploading a audio clip, it’s better to isolate the vocals from the backing track to prevent TopMediAI and HeyGen from getting confused. Neverthless, even when you upload the vocal track of a song, both AI tools occasionally produce inaccurate results, e.g., instead of lip movements to sing the word “hati”, TopMediAI made the lip movements as if to sing the word “hapi”; it wasn’t able to detect the difference between the “t” and “p” sounds. HeyGen seems to do a better job at lipsync accuracy.

Sustained vocal sounds

TopMediAI animates both the subject’s body and their lips to try to match the sounds in the audio file. This is particularly necessary for sustained vocal sounds, like in the following example.

Using the same inputs, and using HeyGen’s most advanced model (Avatar IV in “Quality” mode with a “Custom Motion” value of “Singing”, you can see below that HeyGen failed.

Video picture quality

With TopMediAI, if you upload an image of a zoomed-out character, even if it’s a hi-res image, the tool will have difficulty detecting the facial features, and the resulting video will be blurry with lots of artifacts. For that reason, I only upload images containing close-up shots of the character from the waist up. However, even then, the picture quality of the generated lipsync video deteriorates, sometimes significantly. For example, here’s the source image I uploaded to TopMediAI:

And here’s a frame from the generated video:

That’s a big difference.

HeyGen, on the other hand, does a much better job at preserving picture quality of the source. For example, compare the source and generated (screenshot) images below.

Teeth

TopMediAI can’t seem to produce consistent and natural-looking teeth. Sometimes, the results are acceptable, but other times, they are not. Compare the following.

HeyGen, on the other hand, does a very good job and showing natural, and almost perfect, teeth, as in this example:

Output resolution

With HeyGen, you can export videos up to 4K quality. With TopMediAI, there are no resolution options.

Recommendations

I would definitely use HeyGen’s Avatar IV with the “Quality” mode first to generating singing lipsync videos. If the results don’t look good, then I’d use TopMediaAI as a fallback.

When generating images and videos using AI, you need to include in your prompt how the camera takes the picture or video. Following are common camera shots and movements you can reference when creating your prompts. The example images below were all generated using Nano Banana. The videos were generated using Kling AI.

Shot Types (Distance and Framing)

Shot Type	Description
Extreme Close-Up (ECU)	Focuses tightly on one detail (eyes, mouth, hand). Great for emotional intensity.
Close-Up (CU)	Shows the subject’s head and shoulders — captures facial emotion clearly.
Medium Shot (MS)	Shows the subject from waist up — good balance between subject and background.
Full Shot (FS)	Shows the entire body of the subject within the frame.
Wide Shot (WS)	Shows the subject and full surroundings — emphasizes environment.
Extreme Wide Shot (EWS)	Subject is small within a large landscape — epic and cinematic.
Over-the-Shoulder (OTS)	Camera is behind one person’s shoulder, focusing on what they’re looking at.
POV (Point of View)	The camera shows what the character sees — immersive perspective.

Eye-Level	Neutral, natural perspective — like the viewer’s eye line.
High Angle	Camera looks down on the subject — makes them seem small or vulnerable.
Low Angle	Camera looks up at the subject — makes them seem powerful or heroic.
Dutch Angle (Tilted)	Camera is tilted diagonally — adds tension or unease.
Bird’s Eye View / Top-Down	Shot from directly above — good for movement, choreography, or maps.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is about teaching computers to do smart things that normally require human intelligence — such as understanding language, recognizing faces, playing games, or creating art and music.

AI learns from lots of examples so it can notice patterns. For example, if you show AI thousands of pictures of cats and dogs, it will eventually know the difference between what a cat looks like and what a dog looks like. It doesn’t know what a cat or dog does; it just knows what a cat or dog looks like. Data is the fuel of AI. The more data and the cleaner the data, the better the AI is. AI improves by trial and error. Initially, AI will guess what a cat or dog looks like. If it makes a mistake and humans correct it, AI will learn and, eventually, not make the same mistake.

Huge Neural Networks

AI uses neural networks, which are like a simplified brain. Large Language Model (LLM) and Diffusion Model are two types of huge networks. These models are trained on billions of examples from the internet.

Feature	LLM (Large Language Model)	Diffusion Model
Main goal	Generate or understand text	Generate or edit images/videos
Input type	Words / sentences	Text (as a prompt) + random noise
Output type	Text (e.g., paragraphs, code, chat)	Visuals (e.g., images, videos)
How it learns	Predicts the next word	Learns to reverse noise and create images
Examples	ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini	Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL·E, Runway, Kling

AI as a Classroom Analogy

Imagine a big school containing teachers (humans) and students (AIs).

The Teacher (Humans)

The teachers (humans) give the students (AIs) tons of examples: books, images, songs, videos, code — everything. The students don’t just memorize — they practice until they can do similar things on their own.

The LLM Student (AI)

One student, Lucy the LLM, loves reading and writing. She studies every book in the library and learns:

“After the words ‘Once upon a’, the next word is usually ‘time’.”

She becomes amazing at predicting the next word and can write essays, stories, or even hold a conversation — because she knows how words fit together.

Lucy = Large Language Model (writes and speaks intelligently).

The Diffusion Student (AI)

Another student, Danny the Diffusion Model, loves art. His training exercise:

1. The teacher shows him a picture.
2. Then they cover it with random paint splatters.
3. Danny learns to carefully “un-splatter” the image until it looks clear again.

After years of practice, Danny can now start with a blank canvas (just random dots) and, when you say “a cat wearing sunglasses,” he paints that from scratch.

Danny = Diffusion Model (paints images from words).

The Big Picture

Both Lucy and Danny are smart in different ways:

• Lucy talks and writes (text world 🌍).
• Danny paints and visualizes (image world 🎨).
  They often work together — Lucy writes the idea, Danny draws it.

Types of AI

Category	Description	Example
Narrow AI	Specialized, task-based AI	ChatGPT
Generative AI	Creates new content	DALL·E, Runway
Agentic AI	Acts independently to achieve goals	AutoGPT, Devin
Analytical AI	Analyzes large data	Fraud detection
Predictive AI	Forecasts outcomes	Stock or weather models
Conversational AI	Talks with humans	ChatGPT, Siri
Robotic AI	Moves and interacts physically	Drones, factory robots

• Machine Learning teaches AI patterns.
• Generative AI teaches AI creativity.
• Agentic AI teaches AI action and autonomy.

AI Leaderboard

There are many AI models by different creators, but some are more intelligent than others. This leaderboard ranks AI models based on intelligence score.

Some models are better than others at specific tasks. The following leaderboards compare leading models by

• text
• webdev
• vision
• text-to-image
• text-to-video
• image edit
• image-to-video
• search
• copilot

Here’s the current top-5 leaderboard for web development as of Nov 11, 2025.

AI, CPUs, and GPUs

Type	Analogy	Good For
CPU	A brilliant chef cooking one perfect dish at a time	Complex logic, single-thread tasks
GPU	A kitchen with 1,000 chefs making the same dish simultaneously	Massive parallel work (like AI math)

Originally, GPUs were built for graphics — drawing images and 3D scenes in video games.

• CPUs (central processing units) are like smart workers — great at doing one task at a time, but carefully.
• GPUs are like armies of workers — they can do thousands of small calculations at once.

What would take a CPU weeks to do, a GPU can do in hours.

AI depends heavily on GPUS.

Nvidia, the company that makes most AI GPUs (like the H100 and A100), has become one of the most valuable companies in the world because of AI demand.

Data centers around the world are being built specifically to host GPU farms — giant rooms filled with thousands of GPUs that power AI models.

Cloud providers (like AWS, RunPod, or Google Cloud) rent out GPU power so smaller developers can build and test AI apps without owning hardware.

AI Training VS Inference

There are two main stages of AI:

1. Training (Learning)

This is when the AI learns from data. For example, teaching an AI to recognize cats by showing it millions of cat photos. It requires huge amounts of computation and it needs massive GPU clusters — sometimes thousands of GPUs working together for weeks or months.

Think of it like “going to school.”

2. Inference (Using What It Learned)

Once trained, the AI can now use what it knows — answering questions, generating images, etc. It still uses GPUs, but fewer — since it’s now recalling knowledge rather than learning it.

Think of it like “taking an exam” — it’s using what it learned efficiently.

AI Hallucinations

An AI hallucination is when an AI makes up something false but presents it as true.
It happens because AIs don’t know truth — they just predict what sounds right based on pattern-matching. For example,

AI Type	What “Hallucination” Looks Like
LLM (ChatGPT, Claude)	Makes up fake facts, quotes, sources, or people
Image Model (Midjourney, DALL·E)	Adds random visual details that weren’t in the prompt (like extra fingers 👋 or distorted objects)
Video / Audio Models	Create unrealistic motion, or mis-sync voices and faces

Hugging Face

Hugging Face is basically the GitHub of Artificial Intelligence. It’s a giant online platform where people share, explore, and use AI models, datasets, and tools — all in one place. At Hugging Face, you’ll find

Section	What It Offers	Example
Models	Pre-trained AI models (text, image, audio, etc.)	ChatGPT-like LLMs, Stable Diffusion, Whisper
Datasets	Large collections of data used to train AIs	Wikipedia text, image caption sets, code samples
Spaces	Interactive apps people build with AI	You can test image generators, chatbots, translators
Transformers Library	Hugging Face’s open-source code that makes it easy to use models	Used by researchers, developers, and hobbyists everywhere

Imagine you want to build an app that turns spoken words into text, translates it to French, and then summarizes it. On Hugging Face, you can:

1. Search for a speech-to-text model (like OpenAI’s Whisper).
2. Add a translation model (like Helsinki-NLP English-to-French).
3. Plug in a summarizer (like BART or T5).
4. Run it all with just a few lines of Python code using the transformers library.

You don’t have to train anything from scratch — it’s all there, ready to go.

Hugging Face Spaces is like GitHub Pages – it’s where developers can host their AI models and provide a simple UI using Gradio, a simple web interface to demo an AI app. For example, you can search for “text to image”, click on a result, like Gemini Image Generator, and test the model in a browser.

You can also use models in your own code using Python. For example,

1. Install the transformers library:

pip install transformers

2. Load a model (for example, a text generator):

from transformers import pipeline

generator = pipeline("text-generation", model="gpt2")
result = generator("Once upon a time, there was a cat", max_length=30)
print(result[0]["generated_text"])

ComfyUI

ComfyUI is a visual, node-based interface for creating AI images and videos. It’s a drag-and-drop app that lets you build your own AI image or video generator. Instead of typing long code, you build a “workflow” by connecting blocks called nodes. Each node does one thing:

• One node loads your model
• One node reads your text prompt
• One node generates an image
• Another node might upscale, add depth, or edit colors

You can run ComfyUI locally on your computer, but you need a lot of space and a powerful computer, preferably with a GPU. These computers are expensive. Alternatively, you can run ComfyUI in a browser at ComfyCloud, RunComfy, and ThinkDiffusion, where you can rent powerful GPUs and pay only for when you’re using the service.

Image and Video AI Playground

You can test some of the leading image and video AI models at RunComfy’s playground.

After testing various AI models to generate images of a character based on one or two reference character images, I have found SeeDream 4.0 to be the best. I’ve even found it to be much better than Google’s Nano Banana for this purpose. Here are some example SeeDream-generated images from two photos of me.

Prompts + Generated Images

Note: With consistent character images, you can bring them into Kling AI as references to generate consistent-character videos.
