Thinking on Shots: Consistent Multi-Shot Video Editing with Agentic Reasoning

While generative AI has significantly advanced video editing, existing methods primarily focus on single-shot or short video clips. Editing long videos with multiple instructions remains a formidable challenge. Naive chunking strategies, e.g., fixed-duration segmentation, often lead to entity fragmentation, severe editing hallucinations, and disrupted temporal continuity. To bridge this gap, we introduce the Multi-Instruction Multi-Shot Long-Video Editing (MMLVE) task, which is structured around three core objectives: Cross-Shot Editing Consistency (CSEC), Multi-Instruction Decoupling (MID), and Zero-Destruction on Spatiotemporal Structure (ZDSS). To tackle these three unique challenges, we introduce an agentic editing framework that leverages the synergy of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to achieve shot-level video decoupling and precise instruction parsing. Furthermore, to comprehensively evaluate this task, we construct MMLVE-Bench, which is an MMLVE-focused dataset characterized by complex real-world spatiotemporal dynamics, high-density heterogeneous instructions, and sparse, random entity distributions. Three MMLVE-focused evaluation metrics are further exploited to assess the quality of the editing results. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our MMLVE-Agent outperforms existing closed-source SOTA approaches (e.g., Seedance 2.0), successfully eliminating editing hallucinations, preserving cross-shot editing consistency, and attaining seamless spatiotemporal transitions.

FlowPainter: Inpainting Optical Flow via Confidence-Guided Completion

Existing optical flow methods broadly follow two paradigms: iterative optimization and diffusion-based estimation. Iterative methods, exemplified by RAFT, achieve high accuracy through recurrent refinement, but remain challenged by large displacements and complex motion. Diffusion-based methods introduce generative modeling and show promise in such ambiguous regions. However, existing diffusion models usually denoise the entire dense flow field from Gaussian noise, including simple regions where reliable motion can already be estimated by a lightweight network. This increases the denoising burden and may cause slow convergence and unstable training. To address this issue, we introduce FlowPainter, a diffusion-based optical flow framework that reformulates dense-flow generation as confidence-guided soft inpainting. FlowPainter employs a lightweight confidence-aware network to predict a rough flow and a pixel-wise confidence mask, distinguishing reliable simple regions from uncertain hard regions. The resulting simple-flow prior is used for confidence-based initialization and further injected into iterative denoising through confidence-gated residual guidance. With dynamically decaying guidance strength, FlowPainter stabilizes early denoising while preserving the flexibility of the diffusion model for late-stage detail refinement. Extensive experiments on public benchmarks, including Sintel, KITTI, and Spring, show that FlowPainter achieves strong accuracy under comparable training settings and converges more efficiently than existing diffusion-based optical flow methods, with notable gains on challenging benchmark splits. Our approach offers a practical way to integrate reliable discriminative priors with diffusion-based refinement for optical flow estimation. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/mya012/FlowPainter.
