On September 16, 2025, I coined and defined the concept Continuity Frame Marker (CFM).
A Continuity Frame Marker is the first or last frame of an AI-generated video that is specifically designed to ensure the persistence of a theme, character, or design element through multiple generations. This marker facilitates the seamless blending of two scenes so that the transition appears natural and continuous to the viewer.
Why does this matter?
🎥 Persistence: It locks in character or design continuity across clips.
🔄 Seamless transitions: Scenes can merge invisibly without viewers noticing.
🛠️ Creative control: Artists and developers can stitch long sequences with reliability.
I’m releasing this idea openly so that other creators, developers, and researchers working in AI video can explore, adapt, and expand on it.
👉 Continuity Frame Marker™ — the invisible glue of AI video.
