Abstract
Recent advances in video generation models enable visually compelling single clips. However, real-world video creation is inherently continuous and iterative: creators refine content over multiple rounds while maintaining narrative, style, and entity consistency. Existing standalone generators are largely stateless and lack memory of previously generated segments, making it difficult to produce a coherent and consistent video project. To address this gap, we present VideoCreator, a unified video agent that integrates generation and understanding with a project-level memory system. VideoCreator leverages understanding capabilities to perform fine-grained analysis of newly produced content and uses persistent memory to retain and reuse prior context across turns, enabling continuous multi-round creation with consistency throughout the project. The code is in https://github.com/chrisx599/VideoCreator.
