• Authors: Yujin Jeong, Yunji Kim, Sanghyuk Chun, Jiyoung Lee,
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel video-and-text-to-sound generation method called ReWaS. Our method estimates the structural information of audio from the video while receiving key content cues from a user prompt. By separating the generative components of audio, it becomes a more flexible system that allows users to freely adjust the energy, surrounding environment, and primary sound source according to their preferences.

• Abstract: Multimodal generative models have shown impressive advances with the help of powerful diffusion models. Despite the progress, generating sound solely from text poses challenges in ensuring comprehensive scene depiction and temporal alignment. Meanwhile, video-to-sound generation limits the flexibility to prioritize sound synthesis for specific objects within the scene. To tackle these challenges, we propose a novel video-and-text-to-sound generation method, called ReWaS, where video serves as a conditional control for a text-to-audio generation model. Our method estimates the structural information of audio (namely, energy) from the video while receiving key content cues from a user prompt. We employ a well-performing text-to-sound model to consolidate the video control, which is much more efficient for training multimodal diffusion models with massive triplet-paired (audio-video-text) data. In addition, by separating the generative components of audio, it becomes a more flexible system that allows users to freely adjust the energy, surrounding environment, and primary sound source according to their preferences. Experimental results demonstrate that our method shows superiority in terms of quality, controllability, and training efficiency. Our demo is available at https://naver-ai.github.io/rewas

  Generation of audio from text prompts is an important aspect of such processes in the music and film industry. Our hypothesis is focusing on how these aspects of audio generation could improve audio generation performance in the presence of limited data. We synthetically create a preference dataset where each prompt has a winner audio output and some loser audio outputs for the diffusion model to learn from.

  Existing video generation models are typically trained on a limited number of frames, resulting in the inability to generate high-fidelity long videos during inference. This study explores the potential of extending the text-driven capability to generate longer videos conditioned on multiple texts. We propose FreeNoise, a tuning-free and time-efficient paradigm to enhance the generative capabilities of pretrained video diffusion models.

  We propose The Power of Sound model to incorporate audio input that includes both changeable temporal semantics and magnitude. To generate video frames, TPoS utilizes a latent stable diffusion model with semantic information, which is then guided by the sequential audio embedding. We demonstrate the effectiveness of TPoS across various tasks and compare its results with current state-of-the-art techniques in the field of audio-to-video generation.
