• Abstract: Long video generation remains a challenging and compelling topic in computer vision. Diffusion based models, among the various approaches to video generation, have achieved state of the art quality with their iterative denoising procedures. However, the intrinsic complexity of the video domain renders the training of such diffusion models exceedingly expensive in terms of both data curation and computational resources. Moreover, these models typically operate on a fixed noise tensor that represents the video, resulting in predetermined spatial and temporal dimensions. Although several high quality open-source pretrained video diffusion models, jointly trained on images and videos of varying lengths and resolutions, are available, it is generally not recommended to specify a video length at inference that was not included in the training set. Consequently, these models are not readily adaptable to the direct generation of longer videos by merely increasing the specified video length. In addition to feasibility challenges, long-video generation also encounters quality issues. The domain of long videos is inherently more complex than that of short videos: extended durations introduce greater variability and necessitate long-range temporal consistency, thereby increasing the overall difficulty of the task. We propose VideoMerge, a training-free method that can be seamlessly adapted to merge short videos generated by pretrained text-to-video diffusion model. Our approach preserves the model's original expressiveness and consistency while allowing for extended duration and dynamic variation as specified by the user. By leveraging the strengths of pretrained models, our method addresses challenges related to smoothness, consistency, and dynamic content through orthogonal strategies that operate collaboratively to achieve superior quality.

  We introduce SALOVA: Segment-Augmented Video Assistant, a novel video-LLM framework designed to enhance the comprehension of lengthy video content. We present a high-quality collection of 87.8K long videos, each densely captioned at the segment level to enable models to capture scene continuity and maintain rich context. Our framework mitigates the limitations of current video-LMMs by allowing for precise identification and retrieval of relevant video segments in response to queries.

  This paper investigates a straightforward and training-free approach to extend an existing short video diffusion model for consistent long video generation. We find that directly applying the short video diffusion model to generate long videos can lead to severe video quality degradation. Motivated by this, we propose a novel solution named FreeLong to balance the frequency distribution of long video features during the denoising process.

  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.

  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.
