Signal brief

Controllable Generative Video

Generative video is moving beyond one-shot clip creation toward controllable production workflows. Research is converging on keyframe control, multiple visual references, synchronized audio-video generation and persistent worlds with event streams, while Google and creator tools are packaging avatars, reusable assets and iterative editing into practical products. The emerging category is less a video generator than a production system with continuity, identity and editable state.
