The ground-breaking @-reference system lets you tag specific elements in your prompt and bind them to uploaded references for granular control over camera movement, character appearance, audio rhythm, and visual style. Outputs reach up to 2K resolution with native synchronized audio including multilingual lip-sync, sound effects, and background music.
