Want to keep your AI avatars looking identical across all your videos?

This quick guide shows you how to use Syllaby’s Character Consistency feature to lock in your character's look every single time.

Have you ever created a perfect AI avatar, only for it to look like a completely different person in your next video?

It’s a frustrating problem when you’re trying to build a recognizable brand. Viewers love familiarity, and switching up your character's face breaks that trust and connection.

That’s where Syllaby’s Character Consistency feature comes to help. This powerful tool lets you anchor a specific character's face and style.

No matter how many scenes or videos you create, your character will look like themselves every time. It’s like hiring a digital actor who never changes their face.

Let’s look at how to set it up in just a few simple steps.

The Steps

  1. Log in to your Syllaby account to open up your main dashboard.

  2. Go to the Sidebar on the left side of the Dashboard and click Character Consistency.

  3. Click the Create More Characters button.

  4. Choose your preferred visual style from the design options.

  5. Upload your base character image into the upload box.

  6. Fill out the Character Info section by giving your character a name and brief description.

  7. Click Generate to save your new consistent character.

Syllaby Pro-Tip

To get the absolute best results, use a clear, front-facing headshot with neutral lighting for your initial upload.

The cleaner your original photo is, the easier it is for the AI to perfectly clone that face across all your future video projects!

Quick Fix

My generated character looks a bit distorted or doesn't match the original photo. What went wrong?

Don't worry, this is an easy fix!

This usually happens if your original uploaded image has a busy background, heavy filters, or an awkward camera angle.

Try uploading a well-lit headshot with a plain background, and you'll see an instant jump in quality.
