Transforming Image Editors into Video Editors

The paper introduces Anchor-based Video Editing (AVE), a two-stage framework that converts a powerful image editor into a video editor by first editing keyframes and then propagating those edits across time using a motion-guided image-to-video diffusion model. AVE treats edited keyframes as fixed anchors, leveraging the strengths of modern image editors while avoiding costly end-to-end video training. Experiments on IVEBench and VIE-Bench demonstrate strong performance in instruction following, temporal consistency, and content fidelity, and ablations show that video quality correlates with the underlying image editor’s performance.

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.

OmniEdit-Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Instruction-based Video Editing

OmniEdit-Bench introduces a comprehensive benchmark for instruction-based video editing (IVE), addressing limitations of existing datasets by covering spatial, temporal, audio, and reference-based editing tasks and distinguishing explicit from implicit instructions. The evaluation framework assesses editing quality across accuracy, preservation, realism, and consistency, using human judgments and vision-language models, and incorporates an accuracy-aware penalty to ensure instruction fidelity. Experiments reveal that current IVE models perform poorly, highlighting the need for improved methods.

Memory-V2V: Memory-Augmented Video-to-Video Diffusion for Consistent Multi-Turn Editing

Memory-V2V is a memory‑augmented video‑to‑video diffusion framework designed to improve cross‑turn consistency in multi‑turn video editing. It stores previous outputs in an external memory, retrieves relevant edits, and incorporates them via relevance‑aware tokenization and adaptive compression, allowing scalable conditioning without linear computational growth. Experiments on iterative video novel view synthesis and text‑guided long video editing show that Memory‑V2V enhances consistency while preserving visual quality and outperforming strong baselines with modest overhead.

CoinVE-200K: A Large-Scale High-Quality Dataset for Compositional Instruction-Guided Video Editing

CoinVE-200K is a large, high‑quality dataset for compositional instruction‑guided video editing, featuring 1080p video‑editing pairs up to 201 frames long and containing 2–5 atomic editing operations per sample. The dataset covers diverse editing intents—targeting humans, objects, and backgrounds with addition, removal, modification, and stylization—while ensuring instruction faithfulness, visual quality, temporal consistency, and compositional diversity through a careful generation and filtering pipeline. CoinVE-Bench benchmarks these capabilities, and CoinVE-Edit, a 22B model built on Wan2.1‑T2V‑14B and Qwen3‑VL‑8B‑Instruct, demonstrates strong performance in instruction following, compositional editing accuracy, visual quality, and temporal consistency.

JoyAI-Video-Edit: Real-Time Open-Ended Video Editing with Autoregressive Diffusion

Real-time video editing requires low-latency causal generation with bounded computational resources while preserving source fidelity and long-term temporal consistency. We present JoyAI-Video-Edit, a 16B-parameter autoregressive diffusion framework for real-time, open-ended video editing without access to future frames or a predefined video duration.

Edit-VAR: Taming Visual Autoregressive Model for Precise Video Editing

Edit‑VAR is a training‑free, inversion‑free framework that uses a pretrained visual autoregressive video model for text‑guided video editing. It encodes the source video into multi‑scale discrete tokens and applies probability‑guided conditional token replacement, attention‑guided token‑wise and scale‑aware modulation, and scale‑decoupled generation to preserve source appearance while enabling precise edits. The method also includes residual‑guided token pruning to reduce inference cost, and experimental results show it outperforms existing training‑free video editing methods in fidelity, source preservation, temporal coherence, and efficiency.

Instruction-Based Video Editing by Repurposing an Image Editing Model

Instruction-Based Video Editing by Repurposing an Image Editing Model demonstrates that a strong image‑editing model can be adapted to edit videos by operating on video‑VAE latents. The authors tile latent frames into a large virtual image, reuse the editor’s positional encoding, and bridge latent spaces with lightweight projections, fine‑tuning on Ditto‑1M editing triplets. Their experiments show that per‑frame video latents are close enough to the image domain that mature image‑editing priors transfer with minimal adaptation.

VIDiff: Translating Videos via Multi-Modal Instructions with Diffusion Models

VIDiff is a unified foundation model that uses diffusion techniques to perform a broad range of video tasks, including both understanding tasks like language‑guided video object segmentation and generative tasks such as video editing and enhancement. Unlike prior methods that focus on short clips and require time‑consuming tuning, VIDiff can edit and translate videos within seconds based on user instructions and employs an iterative auto‑regressive approach to maintain consistency in long‑form videos. The authors demonstrate convincing generative results across diverse input videos and written instructions, supported by qualitative and quantitative evidence.

EditStream: A Unified Autoregressive Framework for Interactive Video Generation and Editing

EditStream is a unified DiT‑based framework that supports a wide range of interactive video tasks—Text‑to‑Video, Image‑to‑Video, Video‑to‑Video, Editing Propagation, Reference‑guided Video Editing, and Camera Pose Change—within a single system. It achieves fast, few‑step autoregressive generation by applying a two‑stage distillation process that combines Velocity Moment Matching with autoregressive unrolling, thereby preserving motion quality and temporal stability. The approach aims to make high‑quality diffusion‑based video models practical for real‑time creative workflows.
