AVENUE is a new benchmark and evaluation framework for audio‑video editing that includes 1,291 source clips and 7,957 editing instructions covering audio‑targeted, video‑targeted, and coupled edits. It introduces a sample‑specific, modality‑aware evaluation that specifies the intended change and the content that must remain unchanged. The study applies this framework to joint, sequential, and separate editing models, revealing that existing models often alter unintended modalities, highlighting a key challenge in controllable AV editing.

PRISM‑Bench is an audio‑centric diagnostic benchmark for text‑to‑audio‑video generation, built from 900 human‑verified samples. It evaluates audio along two axes—audio type (speech, music, sound) and sound‑source visibility (on‑screen vs. off‑screen)—across four perceptual dimensions (audio‑visual coherence, audio quality, audio expressiveness, and prompt following) using 35 fine‑grained criteria. The benchmark employs an enhanced MLLM‑as‑a‑Judge protocol that aligns strongly with human raters, revealing a performance gap between frontier and open‑source T2AV models and highlighting overfitting to perceptual fidelity while struggling with complex grounding and control tasks, especially for music and synchronized on‑screen audio.

Recent advances in generative video modeling have enabled diverse generation, reference-based synthesis, extension, and editing, but existing approaches often rely on fragmented task-specific models. A general model must distinguish heterogeneous target, source, and reference signals to determine what to generate, preserve, or use as guidance, while reducing interference among tasks.

SpanSynth-Edit is a flow‑matching model that enables MIDI‑guided synthesis and editing of multi‑instrument audio mixtures using low‑frame‑rate scalar‑quantised latents. It encodes instrument‑labelled note lifecycles as unordered event sets, pools them into a conditioning vector per audio‑latent frame, and uses contextual audio for instrument‑specific timbre guidance. The model supports editing by resynthesising target regions from revised MIDI and demonstrates competitive performance on single‑ and multi‑instrument benchmarks, including within‑frame onset control.
