Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README abstract: given a script and character bank, MovieAgent generates multi-scene, multi-shot long videos with hierarchical CoT planning and role-playing LLM agents. · locator: README abstract · source: https://github.com/showlab/MovieAgent
- [sourced_fact] README install instructions: conda env with Python 3.8 and requirements.txt; dataset layout uses script_synopsis.json and per-character photos/audio. · locator: Installation and Model and Data Preparation sections · source: https://github.com/showlab/MovieAgent
- [sourced_fact] No license file detected by GitHub; last push 2025-03-26. · locator: repository metadata · source: https://github.com/showlab/MovieAgent
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
