LogiShot is proposed, which incorporates information through two complementary paths that jointly encodes the context video and other conditioning signals, yielding dense multimodal cues that provide visual-semantic evidence for cross-shot generation and the model maintains a visual memory of the context video throughout generation to preserve visual consistency across shots.
Abstract
Generating cross-shot videos that are logically connected is essential for content creation. Currently, most cross-shot video-generation workflows, such as short-drama production, still rely on isolated textual scripts or explicit reference images to specify the generated content. Consequently, when user instructions are underspecified or ambiguous, a generated clip may appear visually plausible on its own but fail to align with the overall narrative, leading to disjointed content. We argue that achieving cross-shot logical coherence in video generation requires establishing logical connections across shots and maintaining visual consistency. To this end, we propose LogiShot, which incorporates information through two complementary paths: 1) LogiShot jointly encodes the context video and other conditioning signals, yielding dense multimodal cues that provide visual-semantic evidence for cross-shot generation; 2) the model maintains a visual memory of the context video throughout generation to preserve visual consistency across shots. Additionally, we construct a dataset with 110K samples and a dedicated benchmark for evaluating cross-shot logical coherence. Experiments demonstrate that LogiShot consistently outperforms existing baselines in terms of logical coherence across multiple shots. Model and data will be made publicly available.
Natural-language-driven"vibe coding"enables the one-shot generation of visually rich and interactive web applications, yet reliable assessment of their quality has not kept pace. Existing evaluations often score isolated artifacts or final task outcomes, offering limited evidence about which failures occur and why. We introduce VideoVIBE, a video-grounded benchmark that transforms human-operated webpage recordings into fine-grained diagnostic tasks. It contains approximately 1.7K diagnostic Video QA instances derived from 6,338 verified failures across generated webpages, spanning semantic-logical, visual-motion, structural-temporal, and functional failures. Diagnoses are grounded primarily in recorded presentation and behavior, with webpage source code used as complementary context. We further propose V2Lens, a training-free, evidence-grounded multi-agent system that challenges and selectively refines initial video-based diagnoses through targeted visual and source-code verification. Across thirteen closed-source and open-weight Video MLLMs, Gemini-2.5-Flash is the strongest standalone model with a score of 64.54, while V2Lens reaches 71.72, an improvement of 7.18 points. Together, our results show that video-grounded evaluation can move beyond isolated artifacts and aggregate outcomes toward a behaviorally faithful and diagnostically informative account of generated application quality.

Video-text models adapted from image-text architectures (e.g., CLIP) frequently exhibit temporal blindness, the inability to perceive fundamental cues like order, direction, and motion dynamics. Standard datasets mask this limitation by enabling models to exploit static spatial shortcuts. To systematically evaluate this, we introduce XTE-Bench, a diagnostic probe revealing that even large-scale video-language models struggle with basic temporal reasoning, indicating that parameter scaling alone is insufficient to resolve this flaw. To address this, we propose Cross-Modal Temporal Edits (XTE), a self-supervised framework that injects precise temporal supervision. By performing synchronized video-text transformations, XTE generates hard temporal negatives without manual annotation. We instantiate this with ViTAL-X, a lightweight model that equips frozen image-text backbones with temporal awareness while preserving their foundational spatial knowledge. Across six temporal benchmarks, ViTAL-X achieves state-of-the-art performance. Utilizing only 0.4B parameters and 1M training clips, ViTAL-X outperforms 7B-parameter models and surpasses baselines trained on 600x more data. These results demonstrate that targeted, high-quality temporal alignment provides a highly efficient alternative to pure scaling.

Given textual task instructions, generating step-by-step visual instructions as an image sequence requires the simultaneous satisfaction of multiple properties, specifically step faithfulness, cross-image consistency, and per-frame visual quality. Existing text-to-image generation approaches rarely meet all three properties, owing to independent sampling that breaks consistency, finetuning on low-quality video that degrades per-frame quality, and frozen backbones that lack multi-step understanding. In this work, we propose InstructionCrafter, a diffusion-based framework with the key idea of separating the optimization of temporal and instructional alignment from per-frame visual quality via (1) spatial-freeze training and (2) instruction-aware adapters. Built on a pretrained video diffusion backbone, InstructionCrafter freezes the spatial layers that control per-frame detail and updates only temporal and text-conditioning pathways to learn instruction semantics and inter-step relations, which preserves the generative prior for per-frame quality and reduces trainable parameters by about 50 percent compared with full finetuning. We also introduce two lightweight adapters that enhance the model's understanding of instructional context. The Consistent Adapter aggregates textual cues from the entire instruction sequence and from neighboring steps to keep object identity and attributes consistent across frames, and the Context-Aware Temporal Adapter converts cross-attention outputs into biases for temporal self-attention, explicitly propagating inter-frame relations. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets demonstrate state-of-the-art overall performance on step faithfulness, cross-image consistency, and per-frame visual quality while significantly reducing noise, blur, and spurious subtitles. Our code and trained models will be publicly available.

VideoRouter (VR) is proposed that rethinks long-video understanding as coordinating complementary evidence views rather than selecting a single subset of frames, and introduces a verification-guided router to determine which view is better supported by the selected evidence and select the final answer.
