• Abstract: Recent diffusion-based video generation models have enabled high-quality personalized video customization through both tuning-based pipelines, which fine-tune a video diffusion model, and reference-based pipelines such as image-to-video generation. However, these capabilities raise serious concerns about personal privacy, identity ownership and intellectual property protection. Existing anti-customization works focus on protecting images, while protection for videos against both reference- and tuning-based customization remains largely underexplored. Protecting videos in this setting raises three challenges: (i) Image-level perturbations, optimized frame by frame, cannot survive temporal compression by 3D video VAE. (ii) A video-level perturbation optimized on a single video is vulnerable to temporal editing and fails to protect unseen videos. (iii) Temporally inconsistent perturbations are not robust to temporal attacks. To address these challenges, we propose Temporally Consistent Universal Adversarial Perturbations (TC-UAP), the first protection method against both reference- and tuning-based video customization. TC-UAP optimizes an identity-level multi-frame UAP over sliding windows from multiple videos, accounting for local temporal dependencies induced by temporal compression in video VAE and enabling a single perturbation to protect unseen videos of varying lengths. Moreover, we introduce intrinsic temporal modeling and an extrinsic surrogate temporal-attack loss, which make the perturbation temporally consistent and robust to unseen temporal attacks. Empirically, quantitative and qualitative results show that TC-UAP achieves the strongest identity protection compared with existing methods under both reference- and tuning-based video customization, and remains robust under multiple unseen temporal attacks.

  Text-to-video (T2V) diffusion models have made it increasingly easy to synthesize realistic and temporally coherent videos.<n>Recent personalization techniques allow such models to imitate a specific subject, style, or motion pattern from only a few reference clips.<n>This capability creates a new data-misuse risk: videos shared online can be collected and used for unauthorized T2V fine-tuning.<n>Existing protective perturbations are mainly designed for image recognition or text-to-image personalization, and therefore focus on corrupting static appearance cues.

  Existing video compression (VC) methods primarily aim to reduce the spatial and temporal redundancies between consecutive frames in a video. Previous works have achieved remarkable results on videos acquired under specific settings such as instant (known) exposure time and shutter speed. In this work, we tackle the VC problem in a general scenario where a given video can be blurry due to predefined camera settings or dynamics in the scene.
