Combine references with opening or ending frames when the shot needs stronger structure.

Source-video Reference / Edit

Reference generates a new clip guided by @Video1 with a separately requested duration. Edit changes a 3–15-second source while inheriting timing and framing; each source side must be 720–3840 pixels. Up to four guidance images and elements combined for Edit. Neither operation is Extend.
