varg-consistent-characters
Makes multi-scene ad videos on varg in which the same people, outfits and location stay consistent in every shot, built from real actor photos or generated characters: one profile card per actor, an empty location card, scene composites approved as stills first, then image-to-video with native dialogue audio, trimmed and captioned in one cloud render. Also covers frame and audio QA of the output and turning a reference video into a scene script. Use when a script names actors (A1, A2), a location (L1) and numbered scenes, when someone sends actor or model photos, or asks for a consistent character, the same person in every scene, a recurring mascot or brand character, a UGC or skit ad with two actors, or to remake a reference ad with new people. Not for one speaker on a stage (use varg-character-keynote), seated two-person podcast dialogue (use varg-podcast-video), music videos (use varg-music-video), or one-off images and clips (use varg-ai).

# varg consistent characters
Turn a scene script + actor photos into a multi-scene vertical ad where characters, outfits and location stay consistent across every cut. Tested on a 5-scene, 22-second 9:16 fitness ad with two real actors in one gym.
Generation runs on varg: the `varg-ai` skill (sign-in, models, local and cloud render) or the varg MCP server (`https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp`). This skill assumes a working `VARG_API_KEY` or MCP connection.
## Core idea: cards, then composites
Never describe characters from scratch in every scene prompt. Build a small set of **frozen reference images** once, then compose every scene from them.
