Abstract
Iterative text-to-video generation relies on feedback to correct compositional and temporal failures. However, existing methods typically require another full generation run for each correction, repeating computation and potentially disrupting already correct content. We introduce PreCoG, an iterative framework for correcting semantic failures during video generation. PreQA diagnoses failures from low-cost previews and constructs corrective conditions, while PreEdit edits cached generation trajectories under these conditions, attenuating orthogonal changes to limit disruption of already correct content. PreCoG completes generation only for the selected candidate, reusing its cached trajectory to reduce redundant computation and help preserve semantic consistency between the preview and the final video. Experiments show that PreCoG achieves the highest VBench and T2V-CompBench scores and approaches VSR's leading VS2 score at $0.56\times$ its inference time. It also outperforms GENMAC on all three quality and alignment metrics at $0.86\times$ its inference time.
