Abstract

Identity-preserving video generation aims to synthesize videos that follow natural-language instructions while maintaining the visual identity of a given subject. Recent commercial video generation models have achieved strong visual quality and motion realism, but they still suffer from identity drift, incomplete instruction following, and missing visual details under complex prompts. Since these models are usually closed-source black boxes, directly improving them through parameter optimization is often infeasible. We therefore propose Agentic Enhancement and Semantic Repair (AESR), a lightweight enhancement framework for identity-preserving video generation. To improve prompt construction before generation and mitigate the above failures, AESR introduces a global agentic prompt enhancement module. This module learns model-specific prompting formats from official documentation, acquires human-centered video generation priors from human-interaction data, and accumulates test-domain identity-preserving generation experience into a reusable playbook through an agentic loop. To further repair errors in videos generated with enhanced prompts, AESR introduces a sample-level visual semantic repair module, which uses a VLM to locate erroneous video segments and design repair instructions, edits selected frames into explicit visual references, and guides a video editing model to fix local semantic or identity-related errors. We also adopt a lightweight Mixture-of-Experts selection strategy to choose reliable outputs from different generation and refinement paths. Under the official evaluation protocol of the ACM MM 2026 Identity-Preserving Video Generation Challenge, our system MIPL_Video ranked first in Track 1, demonstrating the effectiveness of AESR for practical identity-preserving video generation. The code is available at https://github.com/oceanflowlab/AESR.
