• Abstract: In recent years, generative artificial intelligence has achieved significant advancements in the field of image generation, spawning a variety of applications. However, video generation still faces considerable challenges in various aspects, such as controllability, video length, and richness of details, which hinder the application and popularization of this technology. In this work, we propose a controllable video generation framework, dubbed MimicMotion, which can generate high-quality videos of arbitrary length mimicking specific motion guidance. Compared with previous methods, our approach has several highlights. Firstly, we introduce confidence-aware pose guidance that ensures high frame quality and temporal smoothness. Secondly, we introduce regional loss amplification based on pose confidence, which significantly reduces image distortion. Lastly, for generating long and smooth videos, we propose a progressive latent fusion strategy. By this means, we can produce videos of arbitrary length with acceptable resource consumption. With extensive experiments and user studies, MimicMotion demonstrates significant improvements over previous approaches in various aspects. Detailed results and comparisons are available on our project page: https://tencent.github.io/MimicMotion .

  We present DAWN, a framework that enables all-at-once generation of dynamic-length video sequences. DAWN consists of two main components: (1) audio-driven holistic facial dynamics generation in the latent motion space, and (2) audio-driven head pose and blink generation. Our method generates authentic and vivid videos with precise lip motions, and natural pose/blink movements.

  We propose Fr'echet Video Motion Distance metric, which focuses on evaluating motion consistency in video generation. Specifically, we design explicit motion features based on key point tracking, and then measure the similarity between these features via the Fr'echet distance. We carry out a large-scale human study, demonstrating that our metric effectively detects temporal noise and aligns better with human perceptions of generated video quality than existing metrics.

  We introduce Anchored Diffusion, a novel method for synthesizing relatively long and seamless videos. We train our model on video sequences with random non-uniform temporal spacing and incorporate temporal information via external guidance. During inference, we leverage the transformer architecture to modify the diffusion process, generating a batch of non-uniform sequences anchored to a common frame.

  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.

• 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.
