• Abstract summary: We propose a cascaded latent diffusion model (LDM) that is capable of producing state-of-the-art 2K resolution videos. Experiments demonstrate that our cascaded model achieves a higher compression ratio, substantially reducing the computational challenges associated with high-quality video generation. Our model can be cascaded with existing T2V models, theoretically enabling a 4$times$ increase in resolution or frames per second without any fine-tuning.

• Abstract: Recently, with the tremendous success of diffusion models in the field of text-to-image (T2I) generation, increasing attention has been directed toward their potential in text-to-video (T2V) applications. However, the computational demands of diffusion models pose significant challenges, particularly in generating high-resolution videos with high frame rates. In this paper, we propose CascadeV, a cascaded latent diffusion model (LDM), that is capable of producing state-of-the-art 2K resolution videos. Experiments demonstrate that our cascaded model achieves a higher compression ratio, substantially reducing the computational challenges associated with high-quality video generation. We also implement a spatiotemporal alternating grid 3D attention mechanism, which effectively integrates spatial and temporal information, ensuring superior consistency across the generated video frames. Furthermore, our model can be cascaded with existing T2V models, theoretically enabling a 4$\times$ increase in resolution or frames per second without any fine-tuning. Our code is available at https://github.com/bytedance/CascadeV.

  Image diffusion models have been adapted for real-world video superresolution to tackle over-smoothing issues in GAN-based methods. These models struggle to maintain temporal consistency, as they are trained on static images. We introduce a novel approach that leverages T2V models for real-world video super-resolution, achieving realistic spatial details and robust temporal consistency.

  Image-to-video (I2V) generation is gaining increasing attention with its wide application in video synthesis. We present FrameBridge, taking the given static image as the prior of video target and establishing a tractable bridge model between them. We propose two techniques, SNR- Fine-tuning (SAF) and neural prior, which improve the fine-tuning efficiency of diffusion-based T2V models to FrameBridge and the synthesis quality of bridge-based I2V models respectively.

  We develop deep context fusion, which propagates context information from low-scale to high-scale patches in a hierarchical manner. We also propose adaptive computation, which allocates more network capacity and computation towards coarse image details. The resulting model sets a new state-of-the-art FVD score of 66.32 and Inception Score of 87.68 in class-conditional video generation.

  We propose content-motion latent diffusion model (CMD), a novel efficient extension of pretrained image diffusion models for video generation. CMD encodes a video as a combination of a content frame (like an image) and a low-dimensional motion latent representation. We generate the content frame by fine-tuning a pretrained image diffusion model, and we generate the motion latent representation by training a new lightweight diffusion model.

We also train a cascade of three models for the task of text-to-video generation consisting of a base latent video diffusion model, and two video super-resolution diffusion models to generate videos of $512 times $ resolution at $8$ frames per second.

  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.
