Create AI Videos with Reusable Characters
The most-searched Vibes feature is putting yourself, or a friend, into a generated video. Under the hood that is reference-based generation: photos condition the model so a face and style persist. Meta describes it as adding yourself or friends; VibesAI treats it as a saved character you own and can cast anywhere. The composer below runs in Character mode and needs a character attached, which takes a minute to create.

The character and reference concept
A text prompt can describe a person but cannot name one. Reference images can. When a model is conditioned on a few photos, it keeps the face, hair and build recognisable across new scenes. A character bundles those photos with a name and description so the bundle can be reused instead of re-uploaded every time.
Adding yourself
Upload three to six clear photos of yourself from different angles, describe your look, confirm consent, and you have a character. Cast it in the composer, in templates and in remixes. In Meta Vibes the equivalent is the add-yourself feature described in Meta's materials.
People, pets, products and fictional characters
| Type | What references should show | Typical uses |
|---|---|---|
| Person | Front, three-quarter and profile, even light, consistent hair | Presenter, protagonist, social content |
| Pet | Several angles, clear markings | Pet as news anchor, movie star, meme |
| Product | Clean shots on plain background, logo visible | Ads, product videos, unboxings |
| Fictional | Generated character sheet from the image generator | Series, mascots, games |
Consistency, reuse and multi-character scenes
Consistency
Reference-locked identity across scenes, tightest with short clips and moderate motion.
Reuse across videos
One character, unlimited scenes. Change only the action and setting.
Multi-character scenes
Attach more than one character where the routed model supports it.
Consent and likeness safeguards
Real-person characters require an explicit consent confirmation at creation. Community characters can be reported, and impersonation is against the guidelines.
Models with character reference
Live from our model registry. Availability and specs update as models change.

Frequently asked
- How do I add myself to an AI video?
- On VibesAI: create a character from three to six photos, confirm consent, then attach it in the composer and describe the scene. Meta Vibes offers its own add-yourself feature inside Meta's app.
- Can I add a friend?
- Only with their permission. The consent confirmation covers this, and the guidelines prohibit characters of people who have not agreed.
- Will my character look the same every time?
- Recognisably the same, yes. Good references and shorter clips keep it tightest; see the consistent character guide.
- Are my generations private?
- Yes by default. Everything you generate lands in your private library. You decide per creation whether to publish it to the feed, share it unlisted, restrict it to followers or keep it private, and whether others may remix it.
- Is this website Meta Vibes?
- No. VibesAI is an independent AI creation platform and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Meta. We describe Meta Vibes on these pages to answer the questions people search for, and we offer our own tools as an alternative.
