New ELECT method enables scalable story visualization with entity consistency

Researchers have developed ELECT, a novel approach to training-free story visualization that addresses the challenge of maintaining entity consistency across long narratives. Unlike previous methods that scale generation time and VRAM with story length, ELECT settles cross-frame identity before rendering using language-guided scene-entity mapping and stationary anchors. This method significantly reduces computational costs, allowing for visualization of up to 1000 scenes with minimal VRAM and fast per-frame generation times, while achieving high character consistency.

IMPACT Enables more efficient and scalable generation of long-form visual narratives, potentially impacting content creation tools.

    ELECT: Settling Identity Before Rendering for Scalable Story Visualization

    arXiv:2610.15555v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Training-free story visualization without reference images must preserve recurring entities across frames while scaling to long narratives. Existing methods typically maintain consistency by conditioning each frame on other frames…
