One official test reports video-to-video failing in all four batches for a jump shot and switching to image-to-video. What conditions (motion, occlusion, duration, input length) predict failure, and how do results compare with conventional compositing?

Why this is still open: A single anecdotal test; the page never states its verdict on AI versus VFX.
