Prompt Relay: Inference-Time Temporal Control for Multi-Event Video Generation
Video diffusion models have achieved remarkable progress in generating high-quality videos. However, these models struggle to represent the temporal succession of multiple events in real-world videos and lack explicit mechanisms to control when semantic concepts appear, how long they persist, and the order in which multiple events occur. Such control is especially important for movie-grade video synthesis, where coherent storytelling depends on precise timing, duration, and transitions between events. When using a single paragraph-style prompt to describe a sequence of complex events, models often exhibit semantic entanglement, where concepts intended for different moments in the video bl...
