Recast the Past: Stable Long Video Generation with Full Context Memory

Abstract

Long-horizon video generation requires retaining an ever-expanding history, but conditioning on its growing token sequence is costly. Existing methods restrict or compress historical context, potentially losing information needed for future generation. This work proposes ReCam, which groups local spatiotemporal blocks of historical latents into vectors and projects them directly into the high-dimensional hidden space of a Diffusion Transformer. The model learns to use the resulting memory tokens through native self-attention, reducing token count while retaining block-level access to the full history. To mitigate temporal drift during autoregressive rollout, we further introduce dual-pointer denoising with separate noise schedules for recent context and target frames. Among the evaluated methods, ReCam achieves the highest VBench-Long overall score of 80.1 and competitive static-scene revisitation performance on R2M-Bench. It also leads on all four consistency metrics for off-screen subject reappearance, including clothing consistency of 4.09 versus 3.03 for the best baseline.
