EM-Vid: Training-Free Entity-Centric Memory for Efficient and Consistent Multi-Shot Video Generation

arXiv:2605.23610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-shot video generation requires maintaining a consistent appearance of recurring entities across shots while remaining faithful to shot-specific text prompts. Recent autoregressive methods reuse previously generated frames as memory. However, full-frame storage entangles persistent entity information with transient scene context, leading to irrelevant information leakage and high computational cost. We propose an entity-centric memory in the form of an entity-indexed bank of latent patches. We introduce sparse token conditioning compatible

Why this matters
Why now

The accelerating demand for highly consistent and efficient video generation, especially for multi-shot scenarios, drives the development of more sophisticated memory mechanisms in AI models.

Why it’s important

This development improves the efficiency and consistency of multi-shot video generation, which is critical for future applications in media, simulation, and creative AI.

What changes

The shift from full-frame to entity-centric memory significantly reduces computational cost and improves consistency by isolating persistent entity information from transient scene context.
