Full-Reference Mode Rewrite Output Format Guide

This guide explains how rewrite outputs are organized and written in full-reference mode.

Write all six rewrite sections in English.

Preserve the original language only for dialogue and lyrics inside <d> and for text visibly present in the scene.

Description detail: Make detailed_description as detailed and explicit as possible.

For each shot, clearly establish the current composition, subject appearance and position, environment and lighting, actions and state changes, camera movement, current sound, and the points where referenced content actually appears or takes effect.

Avoid reducing the description to a plot summary or a list of reference relationships.

The basic formats for shots, camera movement, speakers, dialogue, and ordinary sound are shared with the Video Prompt Writing Guide (T2VA / I2VA / FL2VA / L2VA). This guide focuses on the reference labels, analysis sections, and format differences specific to full-reference mode.

镜头、镜头运动、说话者、对白以及普通声音的基本格式，与《Video Prompt Writing Guide（T2VA / I2VA / FL2VA/L2VA）》保持一致。本指南重点说明全参考模式特有的参考标签、分析部分以及格式差异。

1. Overall Structure

A complete rewrite output consists of six sections in the following order:

2. Reference Labels and Definitions (subject_definitions)

Full-reference rewrites use four types of labels to identify the source and role of referenced content:

Once a reference label is assigned to a piece of content, it keeps the same meaning across subject_definitions, summary, retention_analysis, detailed_description, and the audio sections.

一旦为某项参考内容分配了参考标签，该标签在subject_definitions、summary、retention_analysis、detailed_description以及音频相关部分中，都必须始终保持相同的含义。

subject_definitions defines each piece of referenced content that must be tracked separately later, such as a person, an environment, a source video's structure, or an audio track.

Give each item its own line and explain what its label denotes, its reference role, and the main features to follow; name the corresponding source asset when its provenance needs to be made explicit.

If <Picture N> or <Video N> only identifies the source of another referenced item and will not be analyzed or used separately later, cite it inside that item's definition without adding a separate line.

retention_analysis records where each referenced item appears and whether it is fully preserved, partially preserved, transferred, or reused.

2.1 <Subject N>

<Subject N> is used for reusable visible content, including:

• People, animals, or objects

  人物、动物或物体

• Scenes, backgrounds, or environments

  场景、背景或环境

• Clothing, props, interfaces, or visual effects

  服装、道具、界面或视觉效果

• Styles, actions, expressions, or poses

  风格、动作、表情或姿态

It represents a content unit that will actually be used in the target video, rather than the source file itself.

One subject may be defined by multiple reference assets, and one reference asset may provide multiple subjects.

When the same subject comes from multiple assets, combine the sources and state what each asset provides:

2.2 <Picture N>

Use a standalone <Picture N> when the reference image itself serves as a shot's first frame, keyframe, last frame, edited keyframe, or composition anchor:

If an image is used only to define a character, scene, costume, or style, do not create a standalone picture entry.

Instead, cite the image source inside the corresponding <Subject N> definition.

When an image acts as a storyboard or shot-planning reference, state which shots it maps to and what planning information it provides:

2.3 <Video N>

<Video N> is reserved for whole-video relationships, such as:

• Editing an original video

  对原始视频进行编辑

• Continuing from the end of an original video

  从原始视频的结尾继续生成

• Referencing the original video's camera movement, cuts, rhythm, or temporal structure

  参考原始视频的镜头运动、镜头切换、节奏或时间结构

If a person, object, scene, action, or effect from a reference video is reused as visible content, it still belongs under <Subject N>.

<Video N> identifies the asset or structural source and does not replace subject labels.

2.4 <Audio N>

<Audio N> represents a standalone audio asset or an enabled synchronized audio track from a reference video. Common uses include:

• Copying all or part of an audio signal

  复制全部或部分音频信号

• Referencing a background-music style

  参考背景音乐的风格

• Referencing a speaker's voice timbre and delivery

  参考说话者的声音音色和表达方式

• Using dialogue, lyrics, or sound effects from the original audio

  使用原始音频中的对白、歌词或音效

• Referencing beat, rhythm, or audio continuity

  参考节拍、节奏或音频连续性

When an <Audio N> explicitly corresponds to a target speaker, reuse that speaker's global ID in the definition: write <Subject N> (Sx) when the speaker maps to a defined subject, or use a stable voice description followed by (Sx) otherwise.

The ID comes from the target video's global speaker order and is not independently assigned or renumbered in the audio definition.

See Section 5.4 for the speaker-numbering rules:

When one audio asset serves multiple roles, describe those roles in one natural sentence rather than creating additional subsections.

2.5 Visual and Audio Tracks from the Same Reference Video

<Video N> and <Audio N> are numbered independently.

Each index indicates only the label's order within its own category and does not encode a pairing between the two categories.

The same reference video may therefore correspond to <Video 1> and <Audio 2>;

different indices do not prevent them from coming from the same source asset.

An ordinary reference video does not create <Audio N> merely because the file contains sound.

An <Audio N> definition primarily states the audio's role and does not have to name the <Video N> it comes from.

State the shared source only when needed to remove provenance ambiguity, for example:

3. summary

This section uses one short English paragraph to summarize the target video and its reference relationships.

It begins with a square-bracketed task-type prefix:

Choose task types according to the actual role each reference asset plays in the target video:

When a task satisfies multiple relationships, combine the task types with + and do not repeat a type.

For example, continuing from a source video while using an image as the last frame is written as [video continuation + keyframe completion].

Editing a source video while retaining its original audio may be written as [video editing + audio reuse].

The mere presence of video or audio does not automatically create a corresponding task type.

If a reference video provides only camera movement, cuts, or rhythm, it normally belongs to reference generation.

Use video editing or video continuation only when that video is directly edited or continued.

When editing a source video, use audio reuse as well if its original audio remains audible.

When continuing a source video without directly copying the audio signal, use audio reference if the new audio only continues the original track's audible characteristics.

The summary uses the previously defined <Subject N>, <Picture N>, <Video N>, and <Audio N> labels to describe the main subjects, shot flow, and roles of the reference assets.

Do not introduce new reference labels in this section.

For video-editing tasks, begin the summary after the task-type prefix with:

4. retention_analysis

This section describes how each piece of referenced content is preserved, transferred, copied, or referenced in the target video.

Use one line for each reference label and preserve the meaning established in subject_definitions.

4.1 Visible Content

<Subject N>, <Picture N>, and <Video N> use the following relationship markers.

These markers are fixed English values in the output format:

Subject entry:

Picture entry:

Video-structure entry:

4.2 Audio

<Audio N> uses the following relationship markers:

Choose each relationship marker only within the reference role already defined for that label in subject_definitions.

Do not treat newly added actions, backgrounds, or plot events in the target video as losses of reference fidelity.

5. detailed_description

This is the main body of a full-reference rewrite.

It describes visuals, actions, sound, and dialogue shot by shot in target-video playback order and inserts reference labels where they apply.

5.1 Basic Format

The basic format follows the Video Prompt Writing Guide (T2VA / I2VA / FL2VA / L2VA):

• Write the body in English. Preserve the original language of dialogue, lyrics, and visible text.

  主体内容使用英文编写。对白、歌词以及画面中实际可见的文字保留其原始语言。

• [Shot 1] marks the opening shot and has no timestamp. Later shots use [Shot N] At MM:SS.mmm, ... to mark cut times.

  [Shot 1] 表示开场镜头，不添加时间标记。后续镜头使用 [Shot N] At MM:SS.mmm, ... 标记切镜时间。

• Write camera movement as natural English within the current shot, including movement type, amplitude, and speed when they need to be expressed.

  镜头运动应以自然的英文描述融入当前镜头中；需要明确表达时，应包含运动类型、幅度和速度。

• Give vocal sources stable (S1), (S2), and subsequent IDs. Write dialogue and lyrics as <d>[Language] ...</d>.

  为所有人声来源分配稳定的 (S1)、(S2) 以及后续编号。对白和歌词使用 <d>[Language] ...</d> 格式。

• Use <scenetrans>, <cutoff>, and the corresponding continuity descriptions for dialogue crossing a cut, speech truncated by the video ending, and continuous audio across shots.

  对于跨镜头延续的对白、因视频结束而被截断的语音，以及跨镜头连续播放的音频，应使用 <scenetrans>、<cutoff> 以及相应的连续性描述。

For complete rules and examples covering camera vocabulary, group speech, voice-over, dialogue across cuts, and visible text, see the Video Prompt Writing Guide (T2VA / I2VA / FL2VA / L2VA).

5.2 Full-Reference Mode Differences

Opening example:

For generation tasks, detailed_description is normally 350-500 English words.

Dialogue-dense content prioritizes fitting the complete spoken timeline rather than mechanically reaching a word count.

Video-editing descriptions scale with the complexity of the source video and do not have to follow the generation-task range.

A single shot does not automatically justify a shorter description; distribute detail across multiple shots according to their information load.

5.3 Using Reference Labels in Shots

At the first clear appearance of an important <Subject N>, describe its referenced characteristics, position in the frame, and current action within what is actually visible in the shot.

Continue using the same label in later shots without redefining what the label represents.

Use natural phrasing for concrete frame anchors:

When editing or continuing an original video, cite <Video N> naturally where its source state, structure, or continuation relationship applies.

Cite <Audio N> in the shot or semantic phase where the audio relationship is active.

5.4 Speakers, Audio Sources, and Dialogue

The basic speaker-ID and <d> formats follow T2VA.

When a referenced subject physically speaks, retain both the visual reference label and the speaker ID:

<Subject N> identifies the referenced subject, while (Sx) identifies the actual speaker.

When the subject speaks, write <Subject N> (Sx).

If the same subject speaks off-screen, keep the same form and mark it as off-screen.

When the speaker does not correspond to a defined subject, use a stable voice description followed by (Sx).

When verbal content is only a cue within a directly reused BGM or complete soundtrack, and no person, character, narrator, or other independent vocal source physically produces it, use <Audio N> as the audible source and do not invent an additional (Sx).

If a concrete person, character, narrator, or other independent vocal source produces the voice, assign and reuse (Sx) for that source:

When dialogue, narration, or lyrics from reference audio are directly reused, or when the input prompt explicitly requests their reperformance, preserve the exact source words and original language inside <d>.

Write [unclear] for unintelligible spans instead of guessing or paraphrasing them. Standardize punctuation to the basic written marks needed to express the sentence, such as ,, ., ?, and !; remove repeated tildes, emoji, bullets, and repeated or decorative punctuation.

End complete statements, questions, and exclamations with ., ?, or ! respectively before </d>.

When only timbre, rhythm, emotion, or delivery is referenced, do not carry the original dialogue from the reference audio into the target video.

Assign (Sx) once according to the order of actual vocal events in the target video.

Reuse the corresponding ID at every actual vocal event in detailed_description;

an <Audio N> definition bound to a target speaker in subject_definitions also reuses the same (Sx) but never assigns a new one independently.

Do not write (Sx) in retention_analysis.

Verbal cues that exist only within a directly reused BGM or complete soundtrack use <Audio N>; voices physically produced by a concrete person, character, narrator, or other independent vocal source use (Sx).

6. overall_soundscape and non_diegetic_music

The definitions of these two sound categories follow the Video Prompt Writing Guide (T2VA / I2VA / FL2VA / L2VA).

overall_soundscape summarizes ambience and physical sounds across the full video. Dialogue, singing, and sound events synchronized to a particular shot remain in detailed_description:

non_diegetic_music describes background music that the characters cannot hear and that is audible only to the audience.

When music is present, state its instrumentation, tempo, and dynamic development:

When reference audio is used, state its copy or reference relationship only in the section that matches the audible layer:

ambience and sound effects belong in overall_soundscape, while audience-only score belongs in non_diegetic_music.

If the same audio provides both kinds of content, describe the corresponding relationship in each section:

Write complete dialogue and lyrics only inside <d> in detailed_description;

do not repeat them in these two sections.
