abstract = "Recent advances in AI-generated video have shown strong performance on text-to-video tasks, particularly for short clips depicting a single scene. However, current models struggle to generate longer videos with coherent scene transitions, primarily because they cannot infer when a transition is needed from the prompt. Most open-source models are trained on datasets consisting of single-scene video clips, which limits their capacity to learn and respond to prompts requiring multiple scenes. Developing scene transition awareness is essential for multi-scene generation, as it allows models to identify and segment videos into distinct clips by accurately detecting transitions. To address this, we introduce the Transition-Aware Video (TAV) dataset with multi-scene clips and captions that explicitly state scene segmentation and transition structure. Our focus is on how prompt semantics and dataset annotations about temporal context affect text-to-video generation. Post-training on TAV improves alignment between the scene count implied by prompt and the scene count produced by the model, while preserving visual quality."

<abstract>Recent advances in AI-generated video have shown strong performance on text-to-video tasks, particularly for short clips depicting a single scene. However, current models struggle to generate longer videos with coherent scene transitions, primarily because they cannot infer when a transition is needed from the prompt. Most open-source models are trained on datasets consisting of single-scene video clips, which limits their capacity to learn and respond to prompts requiring multiple scenes. Developing scene transition awareness is essential for multi-scene generation, as it allows models to identify and segment videos into distinct clips by accurately detecting transitions. To address this, we introduce the Transition-Aware Video (TAV) dataset with multi-scene clips and captions that explicitly state scene segmentation and transition structure.
