DramaChain Bench: An End-to-End Benchmark for Short-Drama Generation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

DramaChain Bench is the first benchmark that evaluates every stage of short‑drama production—from script to finished video—using a unified dimension system called DramaChain Dimensions. It incorporates three in‑house systems: a calibrated agent that mirrors commercial workflows, a labeling system with 5,785 items scored by professional annotators, and an agentic judge that automatically scores leaf dimensions with high correlation to human judgments. The benchmark demonstrates that defects in early stages cascade through the pipeline, showing that final episode quality depends on more than just video generation.

FilmBench: A Film-Grade Benchmark for Cinematic Video Generation

arXiv:2607. 24241v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Progress in video generation keeps narrowing the visual gap between AI-generated and professionally produced footage, yet most benchmarks still draw prompts from web sources or LLM templates and score them with untrained, generic multimodal models.

FilmBench: A Film-Grade Benchmark for Cinematic Video Generation

Progress in video generation keeps narrowing the visual gap between AI-generated and professionally produced footage, yet most benchmarks still draw prompts from web sources or LLM templates and score them with untrained, generic multimodal models. More fundamentally, their evaluation taxonomies remain rudimentary (overall visual quality, coarse text alignment and temporal smoothness) rather than the professional Cinematic Language criteria by which films are actually made and judged, so they assess basic video plausibility rather than film-grade craft.

Timeline-Bench: Evaluating Agents on Realistic Video-Editing Tasks, from Raw Footage to Final Cut

Timeline-Bench is a benchmark comprising 56 real video‑editing tasks that require AI agents to transform raw production material into finished videos. Each task includes a brief, source assets, a container, and a set of tests that assess format, content, brief compliance, and quality based on 2,582 blind judgments by 43 video editors. In evaluations, the best agent resolved only 15 of the 56 tasks, and most failures were due to quality tests rather than technical errors.

VibeVideoBench: Evaluating Multimodal Agents on Code-Driven Video Generation

VibeVideoBench is a benchmark that evaluates multimodal agents capable of generating videos by writing code to render each frame and sound. The benchmark contains 239 self‑contained tasks in English and Chinese across 12 categories, requiring agents to produce a finished MP4 with sound within one hour without using any pre‑trained image or video generation model. Evaluation is hierarchical, using program checks, 13k task‑specific rubric checks, and five quality dimensions scored by three VLM judge panels, and it shows that GPT‑6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5 perform best among nine frontier agents.
