Audiences recognize creators by face, silhouette, and vibe — not by a one-off prompt. Cast is how Onasis keeps AI video and stills on-model across Instagram Reels, TikTok, creator-platform teasers, and agency batch queues without re-uploading reference sheets every session.
Why character drift kills creator businesses
Generic AI video tools treat every generation as isolated. Change the prompt slightly and the jawline shifts, hair color drifts, or wardrobe contradicts last week's drop. For solo creators that erodes trust; for agencies managing ten talents it becomes a QC nightmare. Cast solves identity at the workspace level: upload approved reference images once, mark an active character, and Studio applies those refs to every still frame and animated clip in the pipeline.
Each talent gets an isolated workspace with its own Cast roster. Managers assigned to that workspace see only those characters — no accidental cross-use between clients. Pair Cast with Instagram Reels or Agency Batch Reels presets and aspect ratio, duration, and safe zones stay locked while identity stays consistent.
How Cast fits the still-to-video pipeline
Onasis production flows still → video in one guided path. You generate a hero frame with your Cast character active, review it in the workflow queue, then animate with the preset's default video model. Because refs carried from the still step, motion does not re-roll identity. Agencies iterate on Flash-tier drafts for speed, then export Pro-tier finals when the character reads correctly in motion.
For brand-style deliverables, combine Cast with the Brand Style Clips preset where Style Lock enforces LoRA-trained visual language. Identity and brand palette stay aligned — critical for white-label agency work and creator platforms where subscribers expect a recognizable persona.
Team workflows and export
Cast is not a solo-creator gimmick. Reviewers approve frames before animation; safety moderation runs separately from creative sign-off. Approved assets export in packs with captions, hashtags, and renamed files per platform preset — ready for VA handoff. See the character-consistent AI video use case for end-to-end workflow detail.
Whether you ship SFW social clips or run an adult creator studio, Cast respects workspace boundaries and consent controls. Onasis does not post on your behalf — you distribute manually while Studio guarantees production consistency.
FAQ
What is Cast in Onasis?
Cast is Onasis's character system — reference images and identity settings that persist across still and video generations in a workspace.
How many Cast characters can I manage per talent?
Each workspace supports its own Cast roster. Agencies assign one workspace per talent so identities never cross-contaminate.
Do Cast refs apply to every platform preset?
Yes. Set an active character once; all sixteen platform presets inherit the same reference images and style locks.
Can managers use Cast without seeing other talents?
Yes. Role-scoped workspaces let managers generate and review only for assigned creators.
Is Cast the same as a LoRA or style lock?
Cast handles identity consistency. Style Lock (LoRA brand clips) is a separate preset for branded visual style — they can be combined.
