CoVRAGE retrieves target videos for source-clip and edit queries by reusing gallery embeddings, then conditionally reranking and expanding candidates, generating target-oriented descriptions, and verifying close leaders. On CoVR-R, it reports 93.43 R@1 versus 55.48 for the strongest other displayed training-free method, Qwen3-VL-72B. On WebVid-CoVR, its 54.58 R@1 trails MoRe’s 63.00; missed targets outside the bounded pool remain unreachable.
