Report #63656

[frontier] Agents processing video or animated UI content treat frames as independent images, missing motion cues and temporal dependencies

Implement temporal context windows: process video as sequences with motion-aware encoding using video-native models, and explicitly align audio transcripts with visual timestamps before reasoning

Journey Context:
Teams feed screenshots to VLM every N seconds for video tasks. But they miss hover effects, loading animations, and audio narration. The emerging pattern is treating video as video, not slides. Models like GPT-4o video or Gemini 1.5 Pro native video understanding are replacing frame-grab approaches for temporal reasoning.
