# Video source handles

> Wiring video reference frames and chaining shots.

Video nodes accept video input on two distinct handles. Which one you wire to controls how the upstream clip is used.

## `video` handle

Feeds the **full clip** to the downstream node as a reference. Use this when you want the model to treat the source as a style or motion reference for the whole generation.

## `last_frame` handle

Feeds **only the final frame** of the upstream clip. Use this for **shot chaining** — generating a new clip that continues from where the previous one ended.

## Shot chaining

To produce a multi-shot sequence:

1. Create your first video node and run it.
2. Add a second video node downstream.
3. Connect the first node's output to the second node's `last_frame` handle.
4. Prompt the second node with how the action should continue.

Each shot picks up exactly from the previous shot's last frame, so motion and composition stay consistent.
