4DStreamCtrl: Interactive Video Generation with Online 4D Control

The paper introduces 4DStreamCtrl, a system that unifies camera motion, object trajectories, and depth into a single 3D point‑track representation, enabling joint control, depth editing, and motion transfer in a single forward pass. By mining in‑the‑wild video for 3D motion supervision and encoding it with a lightweight Geometric Motion Head, the authors train a causal streaming student that can generate arbitrarily long videos in just four denoising steps, achieving 20 FPS on a single high‑end GPU for 480p video. This approach outperforms prior camera‑only, 2D, and offline‑3D methods in motion‑control precision while maintaining temporal coherence over hundreds of frames, thereby enabling interactive 4D‑controllable streaming generation for the first time.

LooseControlVideo: Directorial Video Control using Spatial Blocking

Precise 3D spatial orchestration in text-to-video generation remains a significant challenge, particularly for multi-object scenes where semantic layout and temporal dynamics are often entangled. While existing depth-conditioned models achieve good structural fidelity, they necessitate dense, frame-accurate guidance that is labor-intensive to author for dynamic events involving deformable objects.

What Moves? Localized Motion Representations for Compositional Scene Control

The paper introduces a promptable localized motion representation that generates persistent embeddings for user-specified regions in a video, without cropping or masking the input. By conditioning motion encoding directly on spatial masks while processing the full video, the method produces temporally consistent, region-addressable embeddings that capture local dynamics while preserving global context. These embeddings enable object-level motion transfer for dynamic scene composition and improve localized action classification in multi-actor videos, outperforming global representations that rely on cropping or post-hoc masking.
