Multiple Image-to-Image

Multiple Image-to-Image models use reference images combined with text prompts to generate refined or stylized versions. In Automat Studio, these models power the “Generate First Frame” workflow in Shot Studio, allowing you to iterate on shot compositions using previous frames or reference images.

​

When to Use

• First Frame Generation — Create the hero still for shots using shot descriptions and visual references
• Style Consistency — Maintain visual coherence across shots by referencing previous frames
• Iterative Refinement — Build upon successful generations to perfect compositions
• Shot Matching — Align new shots with existing visual style from the project

Tips for Best Results

1. Use Clear References — Provide high-quality reference images that clearly show what you want
2. Combine with Prompts — Text descriptions enhance reference image understanding
3. Iterate Systematically — Build on successful generations rather than starting from scratch
4. Maintain Shot History — Save multiple variations to compare and choose the best
5. Match Camera Settings — Reference frames work best when shot attributes (lens, angle) are similar
