Instruction-Based Video Editing by Repurposing an Image Editing Model

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

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.

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.

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.

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.
