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.

LeVJEPA: Efficient & Scalable Video Pretraining without the Heuristics

LeVJEPA is a video encoder that eliminates the need for architectural asymmetries, exponential-moving-average target encoders, stop-gradients, and capacity-limited predictors used in prior self‑supervised methods. It trains a single encoder with an invariance loss over global and local views, regularized by SIGReg to prevent collapse, and achieves strong performance with far less pretraining compute. The approach also allows block‑causal attention, making temporal ordering a property of the encoder itself, and matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art baselines on both appearance‑centric and motion‑centric benchmarks.

V-RAE: Rethinking Video Latent Spaces for Generation

Latent video generation relies on autoencoders to define a compact space in which generative models operate. Although video autoencoder architectures have evolved substantially, their latent spaces are still optimized primarily for pixel-level reconstruction and provide limited high-level semantic organization.

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.

MilliVid: Hierarchical Latents for Long-Range Consistency in Video Generation

arXiv:2606. 09056v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video generative models have become increasingly powerful, but long-range consistency remains challenging to achieve because even a few dozen frames require impractically long transformer sequence lengths.
