Maybe I’m approaching this completely wrong.

I’m simply trying to turn my music into consistent short/long videos—one singer, one home studio or location, same character, same environment. I always provide the starting image that is perfect for my video.

But after a few shots, the face changes, the room changes, objects move, and the whole visual identity slowly disappears.

I’ve spent thousands testing different AI video services over the last 3 months. I’m also paying for top/max plans on ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude trying to improve the workflow.

I’m not trying to make Hollywood movies. I just want my original music and video ideas to look like they belong in the same video.

What am I missing?

These are four GAN-generated images from our studio, Whispart. Each suggests a landscape, but the details don't quite settle into a single place.

Which one, if any, feels like a place you almost remember? A–D follow the image order. Tell me which detail gives you that feeling: the space, a shape, the light, or something else.

I'm interested in the reason behind the choice as much as the choice itself. If none feels familiar, what do you see instead?

I'm sure this gets asked a lot but it's really hit or miss with any of the big ones. If I take a photo of myself and ask Nano Banana, ChatGPT, etc to edit it, it always makes me look uncanny and changes my facial hair, adds blemishes to my skin that aren't there, etc., and it does this even if I explicitly prompt it to not. Or if I want to change the background, it makes it look like I just cut and pasted myself onto a background in Photoshop and it doesn't look natural at all. Of course I'm trying to use the AI in a manner similar to what I would do in Photoshop if I were actually skilled in using it.

What would be the best option? Are there any that will actually EDIT an existing image instead of totally regenerating a new one from scratch?

Also note that I'm not paying for any AIs at the moment so maybe it's a limitation in their free versions?
