Short dramas, with their rapid shot rhythms, dialogue-driven focus shifts, and demanding cinematographic grounding, pose challenges that prompt-level or text-only video generation pipelines struggle to meet. We study plot-to-short-drama generation, where a global plot and local context are transformed into visually grounded multi-shot videos.
MVRCap is a new video captioning framework that treats caption generation as a reinforcement learning problem guided by structured verification. It introduces a Fine‑Grained Verifiable Reward system built on three pillars—Hierarchical Concept Coverage, Factuality Verification, and Conciseness Constraint—supported by the newly created MVRCap‑QA and MVRCap‑SFT datasets. Experiments show that MVRCap outperforms existing methods on benchmarks such as VDC, CAPability, and VC4VG.

Short-drama generation has grown into a large, industrialized pipeline, and as it scales from isolated shots to the episode level, visual continuity has become a critical bottleneck. Current agent fra...

Event-Causal RAG (EC‑RAG) is a lightweight retrieval‑augmented framework designed for reasoning over ultra‑long and streaming videos. It segments video streams into semantically complete events using a dual visual‑audio sentinel mechanism, representing each event as a State‑Event‑State (SES) structure that captures pre‑event, event, and post‑event states. During question answering, bidirectional graph retrieval accesses relevant predecessor and successor events from a dual vector‑graph memory, and answers are generated using both this structured memory and the corresponding video evidence. The authors also introduce ECV‑1H, an hour‑scale long‑video QA benchmark with over 150 hours of untrimmed video and 1,251 human‑annotated QA pairs, where EC‑RAG achieves significant accuracy gains across multiple video foundation models while maintaining efficient streaming memory usage on a single RTX 5090 GPU.
