UniVOE: A Removal-Driven Framework for Interaction-Aware Universal Video Object Editing

UniVOE is a removal‑driven framework that trains both video object removal and injection models. It first builds an effect‑aware remover by leveraging video inpainting priors and fine‑tuning on object‑present/object‑absent pairs, then uses the remover to generate large‑scale paired data for training an injection model that restores objects with their dynamics and interaction effects. A reward‑based post‑training step aligns injection results with human preferences, and experiments show UniVOE outperforms existing open‑source and commercial systems, especially in challenging interaction‑effect scenarios.

VOR-Bench: A Human Perception-Driven Benchmark for Video Object Removal

VOR-Bench is a new benchmark for video object removal that addresses shortcomings in current evaluation methods by providing a dataset with paired edited videos and graffiti masks, a realistic motion-capable paired-video acquisition framework (rMPAF), and a perception-driven scoring model (VOR-MDSM). The dataset includes diverse data from model-generated, tool-rendered, and camera-captured sources, ensuring robust real-world assessment. Experiments show that VOR-Bench’s evaluation results correlate strongly (ρ > 0.9) with human subjective judgments, bridging the gap between traditional metrics and human preference.

VINCIE-NExT: Unlocking Video Editing from Images via In-Context Modeling

VINCIE‑NExT is a unified framework that transfers image editing capabilities to video editing by using in‑context visual demonstrations. It decomposes video editing into a chain of sub‑tasks (Video → Image → Image → Video), routing editing intent through the image domain and enabling joint training from heterogeneous image and video data under a single diffusion objective. The method introduces a novel position encoding to link image demonstrations and video frames, allowing pixel‑faithful appearance propagation, and supports test‑time scaling through progressive diffusion stages.

FOMO: Forget the Concept, Don't Miss Out on the Scene in Selective Video Unlearning

FOMO is a training‑based selective video unlearning method that prioritizes preserving the original scene while removing targeted concepts. It localizes concept‑related representations for modification and employs a preservation mechanism that maintains non‑target scene information without auxiliary data. The approach extends to motion unlearning, enabling removal of concepts defined by temporal behavior, and achieves a strong balance between concept removal and scene preservation.

ALIVE: Interaction-Aligned Object Insertion for First-Frame-Guided Video Editing

ALIVE is a new framework for first‑frame‑guided video editing that enables inserted objects to participate in coherent interactions with the source video, such as being picked up or manipulated. The authors curated 35,800 editing pairs from 3D‑rendered, model‑generated, and real‑world videos, and trained a vision‑language model to predict interaction guidance from the edited first frame and an object name. ALIVE outperforms the strongest baseline by 43.9% on overall performance and 4.4% on a general video object insertion benchmark, with VLM‑predicted guidance further improving interaction fidelity.
