Subject Reference
Subject Reference Guide
The Subject Reference (SR) tab lets you animate a specific person or object using your own reference images. Upload your subject once, then direct it in video.
1. Mode Selector
At the top, pick your generation mode:
T2V (Text → Video)
I2V (Image → Video)
SR (Subject Reference)
EXT (Extend Clip)
F-L (First Frame → Last Frame)
Tip: Select SR to bring your reference images to life.
2. Add Reference Image
Click Select or Upload Image or drag-and-drop into the box.
Upload 1–5 images of your subject (different angles help!).
Your images appear as thumbnails—Boba.Video uses them to learn your subject’s appearance.
3. Settings Panel
Leave defaults or tweak as needed:

Generate 1–5 clips of your subject in one batch. (Default = 1)

Tell Boba.Video what your subject should do:
Type your direction (e.g. “Smile, then turn to the left and wave”).
