The paper introduces EditVid, a training‑free framework for video editing that unifies instruction‑guided and reference‑guided edits. It employs sparse causal memory for local coherence, correspondence‑based post‑attention token injection for long‑range identity preservation, and soft latent blending for edit locality. EditVid supports a wide range of editing tasks—including style transfer, attribute modification, object insertion, part‑level editing, and subject replacement—and outperforms the strongest training‑free baseline on FiVE while achieving competitive results on IVEBench, with a user study showing a 51.8% overall preference over seven competing methods.

Edit‑VAR is a training‑free, inversion‑free framework that uses a pretrained visual autoregressive video model for text‑guided video editing. It encodes the source video into multi‑scale discrete tokens and applies probability‑guided conditional token replacement, attention‑guided token‑wise and scale‑aware modulation, and scale‑decoupled generation to preserve source appearance while enabling precise edits. The method also includes residual‑guided token pruning to reduce inference cost, and experimental results show it outperforms existing training‑free video editing methods in fidelity, source preservation, temporal coherence, and efficiency.

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.
