Adding your own characters

Create an Element under Characters with up to ten photos or generated images, a name and a visual description. Then place it in any shot, mention it in the script, and let Tribe AI keep it consistent.

Last updated Aug 29, 2026

  1. Click Elements (the @ icon) in the canvas toolbar, then New element.
  2. Give it a Name and set Category to Characters.
  3. Add images with Upload (PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG), Generate (Tribe AI draws one from your description) or From AI history. Up to ten; the first is the cover, and a few angles help AI consistency.
  4. Fill in Visual description (used to prompt AI: e.g. woman in her 20s, shoulder-length dark hair, soft smile). Notes are private; Backstory feeds the Story Bible only. Click Create element.
  5. To use it: open the element in the Elements panel and tap an image to place it on the canvas, type @ and the name in any script line, or attach it in Tribe AI with Consistent element or type @, so generated frames keep the same face.
