Bach introduces Locked Character and 25-second Montage video planning

• hasantoxr's overview thread frames Bach around one concrete fix: upload a single reference photo, then keep the same face, skin tone, and eyes across generated clips.
• According to hasantoxr's Locked Character and Montage post, Bach pairs that identity anchor with a Montage mode that plans cuts from a few reference photos and a shot description, then outputs a 25-second sequence.
• hasantoxr's camera-direction post says Bach follows shot instructions like whip-pan, rack focus, and crowd tracking more literally than the usual prompt-only video flow.
• In hasantoxr's production-output post, the tool is also pitched as ready to download without an upscaling or cleanup pass, with examples spanning ad spots, product shots, particles, and stylized looks.
• hasantoxr's pricing and credits post adds a May-only credit policy: purchased credits do not expire, even after cancellation.

You can open Bach through the campaign link, watch hasantoxr's demo thread, and compare that pitch to dustinhollywood's Stages clip, which shows how fast multi-shot generation is becoming a competitive category.

The pitch is straightforward: Bach is trying to solve continuity before anything else. That is still the thing that breaks most AI video storyboards, avatar runs, and ad sequences.

According to hasantoxr's Locked Character and Montage post, Locked Character turns one uploaded photo into the anchor for every shot in a sequence. The claims are specific enough to matter:

• one reference photo sets the character anchor
• bone structure, skin tone, and eyes are meant to persist across clips
• the goal is shot-to-shot continuity, not just close-enough resemblance
• the workflow is positioned as zero-drift character generation

Montage is the more interesting part for anyone making ads or short narrative beats, because hasantoxr's Locked Character and Montage post describes it as a planning layer, not just another single-shot generator.

The flow in that post breaks down into three steps:

1. Upload a few reference photos.
2. Describe the shots you want.
3. Let Bach plan the cuts and generate a 25-second video.

That matters because the continuity claim carries across the whole sequence. In the same post, hasantoxr says the result is one generation, full sequence, with the same face across every clip.

Bach is also being framed as more literal about shot language. In hasantoxr's camera-direction post, the examples are film-school verbs, not generic style prompts.

The cited controls are:

• whip-pan
• rack focus
• tracking a subject through a crowd

That is the part creative teams will clock fastest. Plenty of video models can produce a pretty clip, but far fewer are sold around blocking and lens-language control.

The release thread also makes a broader quality claim: skip the repair stack. hasantoxr's production-output post says the videos are ready for commercial screens without upscaling, post-processing, or cleanup.

That same post lists the current target mix:

• character shots with stronger emotion
• multi-shot brand and ad content
• slow water, fire, and particle motion
• hand-free product shots with better material rendering
• heavier style presets, including noir, anime, and stop-motion

One extra launch detail sits outside the feature list. In hasantoxr's pricing and credits post, Bach says credits bought in May never expire, there is no monthly reset, and cancellation does not wipe unused credits.

That is a small policy tweak, but it fits the audience Bach is chasing. If the product is aimed at storyboard tests, ad concepts, and occasional campaign work, expiring monthly credits are a bad fit. The same post links directly to Bach.
