• Abstract: GANs are able to perform generation and manipulation tasks, trained on a single video. However, these single video GANs require unreasonable amount of time to train on a single video, rendering them almost impractical. In this paper we question the necessity of a GAN for generation from a single video, and introduce a non-parametric baseline for a variety of generation and manipulation tasks. We revive classical space-time patches-nearest-neighbors approaches and adapt them to a scalable unconditional generative model, without any learning. This simple baseline surprisingly outperforms single-video GANs in visual quality and realism (confirmed by quantitative and qualitative evaluations), and is disproportionately faster (runtime reduced from several days to seconds). Our approach is easily scaled to Full-HD videos. We also use the same framework to demonstrate video analogies and spatio-temporal retargeting. These observations show that classical approaches significantly outperform heavy deep learning machinery for these tasks. This sets a new baseline for single-video generation and manipulation tasks, and no less important -- makes diverse generation from a single video practically possible for the first time.

  We argue that naively bringing advances of image models to the video generation domain reduces motion fidelity, visual quality and impairs scalability. In this work, we build Snap Video, a video-first model that systematically addresses these challenges. We show that a U-Net - a workhorse behind image generation - scales poorly when generating videos, requiring significant computational overhead. This allows us to efficiently train a text-to-video model with billions of parameters for the first time, reach state-of-the-art results on a number of benchmarks, and generate videos with substantially higher quality, temporal consistency, and motion complexity.

  VideoCutLER is a simple method for unsupervised multi-instance video segmentation without using motion-based learning signals like optical flow or training on natural videos. We show the first competitive unsupervised learning results on the challenging YouTubeVIS 2019 benchmark, achieving 50.7% APvideo50. VideoCutLER can also serve as a strong pretrained model for supervised video instance segmentation tasks, exceeding DINO by 15.9% on YouTubeVIS 2019 in terms of APvideo.

• Video Generation Beyond a Single Clip [76.5306434379088]
  Video generation models can only generate video clips that are relatively short compared with the length of real videos. To generate long videos covering diverse content and multiple events, we propose to use additional guidance to control the video generation process. The proposed approach is complementary to existing efforts on video generation, which focus on generating realistic video within a fixed time window.

  We show that a single-frame trained model can achieve better performance than existing methods that use multiple frames for training. This result reveals the existence of a strong "static appearance bias" in popular video-and-language datasets. We propose two new retrieval tasks based on existing fine-grained action recognition datasets that encourage temporal modeling.
