Reference video can provide clearer guidance than text alone. It also introduces responsibilities around ownership, consent, identity, trademarks, music, and source provenance. A practical workflow starts by deciding exactly which elements are authorized and transferable.
Responsible use: upload only assets you own or are authorized to use. Verify identities, product claims, trademarks, music rights, and consent before publishing generated video.
Choose the reference role
Decide whether the video guides motion, camera movement, scene sequence, pacing, composition, or visual style. Avoid requesting an undifferentiated copy.
Replace protected execution
Use new people, new product assets, new dialogue, new music, new graphics, and a distinct final composition unless you hold the relevant rights.
Document the source
Keep records of ownership, licenses, consent, and the prompts or settings used to generate the output.
