Still doesn't seem to be a robust way of creating extended videos with Wan 2.2

With 2.1 and InfiniteTalk, we can create long running videos with very little quality loss

It seems strange to me that nothing in 2.2 seems to offer this capability. Wan Animate does a decent job, but it's limited to fixed pose references which struggle with any complex movement between multiple characters

All extend-from-last-frame techniques look extremely questionable because the quality has gone after decoding. VACE 2.2 does nothing to help here and even when it does provide continuous movement between segments (with frames for context), it will 'smooth the transition' rather than keep it consistent

Without something like InfiniteTalk in 2.2, I'm finding it difficult to make any good extended video, which is a shame given all the capabilities or 2.2 motion and loras
