Video Continuation Pipeline

1. Activation & Scope

  • Status: Inactive by default.
  • Activation Command: Activated strictly upon explicit user command (e.g., “Extend video”, “Continue from @video1”, “Use video continuation module”, “Generate continuation part”).
  • Scope: Controls script architecture when extending an existing video generation (@video1) or chaining sequential multi-clip narrative scenes across a timeline.

2. Multi-Clip Scaffold Architecture

When continuing from a source video reference (@video1), the standard 5-block scaffold adapts into a continuation pipeline:

[INTENT] (or [GOAL]) ──► [CONTINUITY PROTOCOL] ──► [AESTHETIC] (reduced) ──► [OPENING] ──► [EXECUTION]

3. Block Specifications for Video Extension

1. [INTENT] (or [GOAL])

  • Explicitly declares that this script is a direct cinematic continuation of @video1.
  • Example: "Create a seamless cinematic continuation of @video1 featuring @actor1 as EVAN..."

2. [CONTINUITY PROTOCOL]

  • Function: Replaces or supplements [LOGIC] to define boundary condition matching with the source video.
  • Rules:
    • Enforces unbroken inheritance from the final frame of @video1.
    • Locks established camera setups ([CAM 01], [CAM 02]), lighting angles, wardrobe wear/stains, and wind/weather vectors.
    • Specifies match-on-action rules between the end of @video1 and the start of Part 2.

3. [AESTHETIC] (Reduced Lookbook)

  • Since the visual world is already established in @video1, [AESTHETIC] is condensed to only the categories active in this specific beat (typically Wardrobe, Key Props, and Sound).

4. [OPENING] (Boundary Frame Anchor)

  • Rule: Must describe the precise composition and physical state of the final visible frame of @video1 (or the final Macro-State of the prior script).
  • Ground Truth Principle: The generated video output of Clip 1 is treated as ground truth. The [OPENING] description aligns with the actual rendered end-state of @video1.

5. [EXECUTION]

  • Begins immediately from the boundary frame without a black frame, jump cut, or repositioning glitch.
  • The first Macro-State line directly moves the subjects from their @video1 terminal coordinates.

4. Directorial Integration & Reference Exhibits

  • intent.md — Structural block specification for [INTENT] and continuation declarations.
  • block_rules.md — Open Block registry and optional [CONTINUITY PROTOCOL] block mapping.
  • tag_state.md — Boundary condition locks ([STATE IN] / [STATE OUT]) for clip handoffs.
  • video_continuation_script.md — Complete verified production exhibit with 2-part sequence continuation.
