Reference Anything - Restyle Video from an Image with Vace AI

What Reference Anything Does
Reference Anything is style transfer with a memory. Instead of re-imagining your scene from scratch, the Vace AI video editor keeps the geometry of what you shot and repaints it in the referenced look, so a watercolour pass still shows the same street from the same angle.
This is what makes the effect useful for series work: apply one reference across several clips and they read as a single piece rather than five unrelated generations.
How to Use Reference Anything
1. Generate a base video frame in the Vace AI generator above so you have something to restyle.
2. Describe the target look as concretely as you can - medium, palette and brush or lens character all steer the result.
3. Press Animate to Video and the restyled frame is carried into motion with structure preservation keeping your composition locked.
What Vace AI Preserves While It Runs Reference Anything
When the Vace AI video editor applies Reference Anything, five preservation controls protect every part of your footage you did not ask it to change.
