• Abstract summary: VideoGen is a text-to-video generation approach, which can generate a high-definition video with high frame fidelity and strong temporal consistency. We leverage an off-the-shelf text-to-image generation model, e.g., Stable Diffusion, to generate an image with high content quality from the text prompt.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present VideoGen, a text-to-video generation approach, which can generate a high-definition video with high frame fidelity and strong temporal consistency using reference-guided latent diffusion. We leverage an off-the-shelf text-to-image generation model, e.g., Stable Diffusion, to generate an image with high content quality from the text prompt, as a reference image to guide video generation. Then, we introduce an efficient cascaded latent diffusion module conditioned on both the reference image and the text prompt, for generating latent video representations, followed by a flow-based temporal upsampling step to improve the temporal resolution. Finally, we map latent video representations into a high-definition video through an enhanced video decoder. During training, we use the first frame of a ground-truth video as the reference image for training the cascaded latent diffusion module. The main characterises of our approach include: the reference image generated by the text-to-image model improves the visual fidelity; using it as the condition makes the diffusion model focus more on learning the video dynamics; and the video decoder is trained over unlabeled video data, thus benefiting from high-quality easily-available videos. VideoGen sets a new state-of-the-art in text-to-video generation in terms of both qualitative and quantitative evaluation. See \url{https://videogen.github.io/VideoGen/} for more samples.

  Video synthesis has recently made remarkable strides benefiting from the rapid development of diffusion models. It still challenges encounters in terms of semantic accuracy, clarity, and continuity-temporal continuity. We propose a cascaded I2VGen-XL approach that enhances model performance by decoupling these two factors. I2VGen-XL can simultaneously enhance the semantic accuracy, continuity of details and clarity of generated videos.
