How to Generate Accurate Locations in AI Videos Using Reference Images
When creating AI-generated videos in Influencer Studio, you may notice that specific locations don't always match your expectations. This article explains why this happens and how to get better results.
Why AI Can't Recreate Specific Locations Without Reference Images
AI models like Seedance 2.0 generate images and videos based on training data, but they cannot automatically know what specific real-world locations look like just from a text description. For example, if you mention "Loews Miami Beach Hotel" in your prompt, the AI doesn't have explicit knowledge of that exact hotel's appearance.
Important: AI is not perfect and cannot give you a perfect replica of places it doesn't specifically know without visual guidance.
How to Get Accurate Location Results
To generate videos with accurate locations, you need to provide reference images in your prompt. Here's how:
- Upload reference photos of the specific location you want to recreate
- Include multiple angles if possible to give the AI more context
- Use clear, high-quality images that show the distinctive features of the location
- Combine the reference images with descriptive text in your prompt
Understanding Credit Usage and Refunds
Video generations consume more credits than photo generations. If your video doesn't match your expectations due to missing reference images or AI model limitations (rather than a technical error on our platform), this is generally not eligible for a credit refund.
Our refund policy:
- Credits are refunded when there's a technical fault on our platform
- Credits are typically not refunded for AI model limitations or user error
- In some cases, one-time courtesy credits may be granted at our discretion
Tips for Better Results
- Always use reference images for specific locations
- Test with photo generations first (which use fewer credits) before creating videos
- Be descriptive in your prompts while providing visual references
- Review your generations and adjust your approach based on results
By providing reference images for specific locations, you'll get significantly better and more accurate results from your AI video generations.
