STEP 2
Lock characters, scenes, & props
Lock your mascot, your shop or van and your product, so every video looks like your business and nobody else's.

Your business, every time
Keep your mascot, your place and your products the same in every video you post
Customers remember a local business they recognise. Atlabs locks your mascot, your shop and your products, so the welcome video, the seasonal offer and the how-to clip all look like the same friendly business, week after week.
Character consistency
Create a character once and Atlabs keeps the same face, outfit, colours and style in every scene and every video after it. Your mascot or your own cartoon self becomes a face locals recognise.

Scene consistency
Lock a setting and it keeps the same layout, lighting and mood each time it returns, so your shop, salon or van looks the same in every video customers see.
Object and prop consistency
Your products, packaging, signs and logo look exactly the same in every scene. Upload a product photo to lock it, so customers know exactly what to ask for.
