• Abstract: Despite the recent advancement in video stylization, most existing methods struggle to render any video with complex transitions, based on an open style description of user query. To fill this gap, we introduce a generic multi-agent system for video stylization, V-Stylist, by a novel collaboration and reflection paradigm of multi-modal large language models. Specifically, our V-Stylist is a systematical workflow with three key roles: (1) Video Parser decomposes the input video into a number of shots and generates their text prompts of key shot content. Via a concise video-to-shot prompting paradigm, it allows our V-Stylist to effectively handle videos with complex transitions. (2) Style Parser identifies the style in the user query and progressively search the matched style model from a style tree. Via a robust tree-of-thought searching paradigm, it allows our V-Stylist to precisely specify vague style preference in the open user query. (3) Style Artist leverages the matched model to render all the video shots into the required style. Via a novel multi-round self-reflection paradigm, it allows our V-Stylist to adaptively adjust detail control, according to the style requirement. With such a distinct design of mimicking human professionals, our V-Stylist achieves a major breakthrough over the primary challenges for effective and automatic video stylization. Moreover,we further construct a new benchmark Text-driven Video Stylization Benchmark (TVSBench), which fills the gap to assess stylization of complex videos on open user queries. Extensive experiments show that, V-Stylist achieves the state-of-the-art, e.g.,V-Stylist surpasses FRESCO and ControlVideo by 6.05% and 4.51% respectively in overall average metrics, marking a significant advance in video stylization.

  Video generation models are typically trained on text-to-video pairs with highly detailed and carefully crafted descriptions. We introduce VPO, a principled framework that optimize prompts based on three core principles: harmlessness, accuracy, and helpfulness. Our experiments demonstrate that VPO significantly improves safety, alignment, and video quality compared to baseline methods.

  StyleCrafter is a generic method that enhances pre-trained T2V models with a style control adapter. To promote content-style disentanglement, we remove style descriptions from the text prompt and extract style information solely from the reference image. StyleCrafter efficiently generates high-quality stylized videos that align with the content of the texts and resemble the style of the reference images.

  We propose a new setting, text-video retrieval with uncurated & unpaired data, that during training utilizes only text queries together with uncurated web videos. To improve generalization, we show that one model can be trained with multiple text styles. We evaluate our model on retrieval performance over multiple datasets to demonstrate the advantages of our style transfer framework.
