VIDiff: Translating Videos via Multi-Modal Instructions with Diffusion Models

Read the original on arXiv AI →

VIDiff is a unified foundation model that uses diffusion techniques to perform a broad range of video tasks, including both understanding tasks like language‑guided video object segmentation and generative tasks such as video editing and enhancement. Unlike prior methods that focus on short clips and require time‑consuming tuning, VIDiff can edit and translate videos within seconds based on user instructions and employs an iterative auto‑regressive approach to maintain consistency in long‑form videos. The authors demonstrate convincing generative results across diverse input videos and written instructions, supported by qualitative and quantitative evidence.

Memory-V2V: Memory-Augmented Video-to-Video Diffusion for Consistent Multi-Turn Editing

Memory-V2V is a memory‑augmented video‑to‑video diffusion framework designed to improve cross‑turn consistency in multi‑turn video editing. It stores previous outputs in an external memory, retrieves relevant edits, and incorporates them via relevance‑aware tokenization and adaptive compression, allowing scalable conditioning without linear computational growth. Experiments on iterative video novel view synthesis and text‑guided long video editing show that Memory‑V2V enhances consistency while preserving visual quality and outperforming strong baselines with modest overhead.

Bernini: Latent Semantic Planning for Video Diffusion

Bernini proposes a unified framework that separates semantic planning and pixel rendering for video generation and editing. An MLLM-based planner predicts target semantics in ViT embedding space, while a DiT-based renderer synthesizes pixels conditioned on this plan, text features, and source VAE features for editing. The approach introduces Segment-Aware 3D Rotary Positional Embedding and chain-of-thought reasoning, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on diverse video benchmarks.

Overpainting: Localized Context-aware Diffusion Image Editing

The paper introduces "overpainting," a localized, context-aware image editing technique that allows users to specify precise or loose editing regions via a trimap. The method adapts a pretrained diffusion model with joint attention and low‑rank adaptation, incorporating attention‑dropout to balance noise, source, and mask inputs. An automated pipeline generates training data by pairing images from language‑based editing models, curating them, and extracting trimaps, enabling the model to perform a wide range of editing tasks.
