+                the exact path a reference VIDEO takes — video sizing (matched to the target's pixel area), multi-frame
+                reference block, <code>&lt;Video k&gt;</code> timestamped presentation. Use this when training on image
+                references but sampling with video references, so the LoRA learns the pathway it will be used through.
