原文摘要
As generative AI becomes increasingly involved in video creation, creators face challenges in expanding, translating, and negotiating creative intent across stages. We therefore view creative intent as an evolving shared state throughout human-AI co-creation. A multi-stage design was employed: semi-structured interviews with 12 creators informed 3 design goals, followed by expert co-design and the development of VideoMaker. VideoMaker organizes creation into a six-stage workflow that progressively translates creative intent. At key stages, creators negotiate with AI through the Seed Panel, explicitly confirming, revising, and updating intent. A shared AI Agent, supported by the Multi-style Script Library and Cinematic Language Knowledge Base, enables differentiated expansion of initial intent and faithful translation. A within-subjects study with 30 participants showed that VideoMaker effectively supported the expansion and cross-stage translation of creative intent, with stronger intent preservation, while negotiated boundaries between creator-confirmed intent and AI initiative remained difficult to sustain.
