Multi-Shot and Scene-Transition Video Generation

Develop text-to-video generation methods capable of synthesizing videos that consist of multiple shots and include explicit scene transitions, extending beyond single-shot clips while preserving visual quality and temporal coherence.

Background

Lumiere focuses on generating single, full-frame-rate clips to achieve globally coherent motion. While effective for single-shot content, the authors note that their approach is not intended for multi-shot videos or for handling scene transitions, identifying this as a limitation.

Addressing multi-shot composition and scene transitions is highlighted as a distinct open challenge for future research, suggesting the need for new generation or composition mechanisms that can stitch shots and transitions cohesively.
