1In the vendors' words
You can create transitions, animate images, or generate a video that starts and ends with specific images with the use of frames.

2For the cutting room
Frame-based joins make the end of one shot the start of the next, so motion carries across the cut. They suit continuous action more than a cut between places.

3How one pipeline handles it
The episode pipeline SceneMixer documents has its own answer to “Can joins be built from first and last frames”; two lines from its pages:
Paste a scene or a short script and SceneMixer gives you a storyboard — numbered shots with framing and seconds — and then a moving version of each segment, which you can join into a rough cut of the scene.

That is SceneMixer's core design: characters live in a persistent asset library with locked reference art, and every segment that features a character is generated against those references — same face in episode 1 and episode 50.
