Structured Stateful Relational Scripts with a High-Quality Dataset for Multi-Shot Audio-Visual Video Generation
Coherent multi-shot audio-visual video generation requires maintaining consistent identities while depicting evolving states and coordinating sounds across shot boundaries. Although dense captions describe individual shots in detail, they rarely specify which entities persist, how their states change, or which entities and actions produce sounds. To address this limitation, we propose Structured Stateful Relational Scripts (SSRS), a textual supervision representation that separates persistent entity and voice identities from shot-specific visual and auditory states. SSRS explicitly encodes sound-source bindings and temporal relations, while a global audio-visual event sequence connects local actions and sounds, including events that continue across shot boundaries. We further introduce MSAV-Script-100K, a large-scale dataset of curated multi-shot audio-visual videos paired with detailed SSRS annotations, enabling models to learn identity persistence, state transitions, and event continuity from structured supervision. Experiments demonstrate improvements in cross-shot consistency, adherence to specified state changes, and audio-visual alignment, highlighting the effectiveness of our SSRS and MSAV-Script-100K for coherent multi-shot audio-visual generation.
