Image-to-video continuity concerns whether generated motion keeps the identity, composition, objects, and style established by a reference image. In a multi-clip stream, the final frame or another selected image can condition the next generation to reduce visible scene changes.
Strong continuity is difficult because each new generation can introduce drift. Useful evaluation checks character appearance, object placement, lighting, camera position, and whether changes follow the requested action rather than occurring arbitrarily.

Image-to-video continuity measures whether generated video keeps the identity, objects, composition and style established by a reference image or earlier frame. The motion should change what was requested without randomly changing the scene.
For example, the final frame of one clip can guide the beginning of the next clip. Reviewers check the character, camera, lighting and object placement because small changes can accumulate into visible drift.
