How to keep AI characters consistent with @TAG elements
The biggest problem with AI video is a character that changes every shot. In Aixxxe Studio you save characters, locations and props as @TAG elements and call them in the prompt. The Studio sends the right reference images every time.
- 1
Prepare the character image
Use an illustration or an AI-made character with the face and outfit clearly visible. Photos of real people's faces are refused by the render servers, and never use someone's face without permission.

Save it as an element
In Elements, upload the image, choose Character and give it a tag like @ZARA_05. Do the same for locations (@LOC_17) and key props.

Call the tag in the prompt
Type @ in the prompt to pick an element. Example: "@ZARA_05 walks slowly through the rainy alley @LOC_17, neon reflecting in puddles". The Studio orders the references for you.

Use a multi-reference model
Models with multi mode take several images at once, such as a character plus a location in one shot.
- 5
Repeat in the next shot
Use the same tags in every prompt. Because the elements are the same, the character stays consistent from shot to shot and from day to day.
Tips
- Version your tags (_01, _02) when the outfit changes, so older versions stay usable.
- One element, one subject: don't put two characters in one reference image.
- Elements live per workspace and can be shared with your team in a shared workspace.
- Elements of Gallery works whose owners share them can be copied into your workspace.
Questions
How many elements fit in one shot?
It depends on the model; many accept several reference images. The limit is shown in the Studio when you pick a model.
Can other people see my elements?
No, unless you choose to show elements when sharing a work to the Gallery, or share the workspace with your team.
