LogiShot: Logically Coherent Cross-Shot Video Generation

Abstract

Generating cross-shot videos that are logically connected is essential for content creation. Currently, most cross-shot video-generation workflows, such as short-drama production, still rely on isolated textual scripts or explicit reference images to specify the generated content. Consequently, when user instructions are underspecified or ambiguous, a generated clip may appear visually plausible on its own but fail to align with the overall narrative, leading to disjointed content. We argue that achieving cross-shot logical coherence in video generation requires establishing logical connections across shots and maintaining visual consistency. To this end, we propose LogiShot, which incorporates information through two complementary paths: 1) LogiShot jointly encodes the context video and other conditioning signals, yielding dense multimodal cues that provide visual-semantic evidence for cross-shot generation; 2) the model maintains a visual memory of the context video throughout generation to preserve visual consistency across shots. Additionally, we construct a dataset with 110K samples and a dedicated benchmark for evaluating cross-shot logical coherence. Experiments demonstrate that LogiShot consistently outperforms existing baselines in terms of logical coherence across multiple shots. Model and data will be made publicly available.
