ShotStream: Real-Time Multi-Shot Video Generation

jiqizhixin · x · 2026-07-19

Researchers from CUHK and Kuaishou introduced ShotStream, a streaming multi-shot video generation model designed for interactive storytelling.

The core approach uses causal generation to predict the next shot based on historical footage, paired with a dual-memory cache to maintain coherence. It also employs distillation techniques to suppress error accumulation in long sequence generation. The authors claim this method achieves sub-second latency and 16 FPS on a single GPU, reaching a real-time performance balance that long-range autoregressive and bidirectional multi-shot models struggle to achieve simultaneously.
