- Abstract: What role does the first frame play in video generation models? Traditionally, it's viewed as the spatial-temporal starting point of a video, merely a seed for subsequent animation. In this work, we reveal a fundamentally different perspective: video models implicitly treat the first frame as a conceptual memory buffer that stores visual entities for later reuse during generation. Leveraging this insight, we show that it's possible to achieve robust and generalized video content customization in diverse scenarios, using only 20-50 training examples without architectural changes or large-scale finetuning. This unveils a powerful, overlooked capability of video generation models for reference-based video customization.

We build on the common paradigm of transferring large-scale, image--text models to video via shallow temporal fusion.<n>We expose two limitations to the approach: (1) decreased spatial capabilities, likely due to poor video--language alignment in standard video datasets, and (2) higher memory consumption, bottlenecking the number of frames that can be processed.

Classification [9.548744259567837]
Video scene classification models should capture the spatial (pixel-wise) and temporal (frame-wise) characteristics of a video effectively.
Transformer models with self-attention which are designed to get contextualized representations for individual tokens given a sequence of tokens, are becoming increasingly popular in many computer vision tasks.
We propose a novel self-attention block that leverages both local and global temporal relationships between the video frames to obtain better contextualized representations for the individual frames.
