CultureVidBench is a new benchmark that evaluates how well text‑to‑video generation models capture cultural details. It contains 1,000 prompts spanning 12 countries, 6 continents, 8 cultural regions, and 14 cultural aspects, grouped into material culture, social practice & performance, and ritual & ceremony. Human studies and automated assessments show that while current models perform well on semantic adherence and visual quality, they often miss fine‑grained cultural details, especially for underrepresented regions and multimodal cues.
