• Abstract: Storytelling video generation (SVG) has recently emerged as a task to create long, multi-motion, multi-scene videos that consistently represent the story described in the input text script. SVG holds great potential for diverse content creation in media and entertainment; however, it also presents significant challenges: (1) objects must exhibit a range of fine-grained, complex motions, (2) multiple objects need to appear consistently across scenes, and (3) subjects may require multiple motions with seamless transitions within a single scene. To address these challenges, we propose DreamRunner, a novel story-to-video generation method: First, we structure the input script using a large language model (LLM) to facilitate both coarse-grained scene planning as well as fine-grained object-level layout and motion planning. Next, DreamRunner presents retrieval-augmented test-time adaptation to capture target motion priors for objects in each scene, supporting diverse motion customization based on retrieved videos, thus facilitating the generation of new videos with complex, scripted motions. Lastly, we propose a novel spatial-temporal region-based 3D attention and prior injection module SR3AI for fine-grained object-motion binding and frame-by-frame semantic control. We compare DreamRunner with various SVG baselines, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance in character consistency, text alignment, and smooth transitions. Additionally, DreamRunner exhibits strong fine-grained condition-following ability in compositional text-to-video generation, significantly outperforming baselines on T2V-ComBench. Finally, we validate DreamRunner's robust ability to generate multi-object interactions with qualitative examples.

  Existing text-to-video (T2V) models often struggle with generating videos with sufficiently pronounced or complex actions. We propose a novel framework, MVideo, designed to produce long-duration videos with precise, fluid actions. MVideo overcomes the limitations of text prompts by incorporating mask sequences as an additional motion condition input.

  VideoGLaMM is a new model for fine-grained pixel-level grounding in videos based on user-provided textual inputs. The architecture is trained to synchronize both spatial and temporal elements of video content with textual instructions. Experimental results show that our model consistently outperforms existing approaches across all three tasks.

  We present DreamVideo, a novel approach to generating personalized videos from a few static images of the desired subject. DreamVideo decouples this task into two stages, subject learning and motion learning, by leveraging a pre-trained video diffusion model. In motion learning, we architect a motion adapter and fine-tune it on the given videos to effectively model the target motion pattern.

  A new task, Story-to-Motion, arises when characters are required to perform specific motions based on a long text description. Previous works in character control and text-to-motion have addressed related aspects, yet a comprehensive solution remains elusive. We propose a novel system that generates controllable, infinitely long motions and trajectories aligned with the input text.
