Layer-Aware Video Composition via Split-then-Merge

The paper introduces Split-then-Merge (StM), a new framework for generative video composition that improves control and tackles data scarcity. StM divides a large set of unlabeled videos into dynamic foreground and background layers, then self‑composes them to learn how subjects interact with varied scenes. The method employs a transformation‑aware training pipeline with multi‑layer fusion, augmentation, and an identity‑preservation loss, achieving superior performance over state‑of‑the‑art methods in both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.

OmniDance: Multimodal Driven Dance Video Generation with Large-scale Internet Data

Music-driven dance video generation aims to synthesize expressive human motion that is temporally aligned with music while maintaining high visual fidelity. Despite recent progress, existing methods still face two key limitations: the lack of large-scale, high-quality dance video datasets, and the absence of principled frameworks for integrating music as a complementary conditioning signal into Video Generation Foundation Models.

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.
