Enhancing Scene Transition Awareness in Video Generation via Post-Training

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 propose the Transition-Aware Video (TAV) dataset, which consists of preprocessed video clips with multiple scene transitions. Our experiment shows that post-training on the TAV dataset improves prompt-based scene transition understanding, narrows the gap between required and generated scenes, and maintains image quality.
