TL;DR

The UniCam framework is proposed, a unified framework that introduces a temporally coherent stochastic representation, termed CameraNoise, warped from camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, which significantly outperforms prior methods in both fidelity and controllability.

CameraAnything: Refilming Videos with Arbitrary Camera Control

We introduce CameraAnything, the first unified framework for camera controlled video editing that enables joint control of both intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters. Existing approaches either rely on expensive 3D reconstruction to achieve full camera functionality or restrict editing to extrinsic parameter manipulation. Moreover, the coupled influence of intrinsic and extrinsic parameters on video appearance makes disentangled modeling particularly challenging. To address this, we adopt per-pixel Pl\"ucker ray injection alongside resolution-aware 3D RoPE in self-attention, building both camera conditioning and spatial positional encoding on the target latent to jointly control camera position, focal length, and native resolution editing without cropping or outpainting. To overcome the scarcity of paired training data, we further develop a scalable synthetic pipeline that constructs diverse dynamic scenes through structured multi-camera recording and generates synchronized videos with varied camera configurations. With a tailored orthogonal training strategy, CameraAnything enables expressive video reshooting with arbitrary viewpoint control, focal length adjustment, resolution adaptation, and multi-shot transitions within a single generation process, offering strong practical value for cinematic video editing and cross-platform content adaptation in video production.

UniWorld-View: Large-Baseline View Synthesis via Video Diffusion Models

The abundance of casually captured monocular videos and images on social media provides a valuable source for immersive content creation, where generating novel views from such sparse observations can greatly enhance user experiences. However, producing photorealistic and geometrically consistent views with precise camera control remains challenging when input coverage is extremely limited. Reconstruction-based approaches such as NeRF and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) deteriorate severely under sparse inputs and fail to explicitly handle occlusions. Generative methods ease data requirements but still struggle with large-baseline view synthesis due to inaccurate or implicit geometric guidance. To overcome these limitations, we introduce UniWorld-View, a unified framework for controllable large-baseline novel view synthesis from monocular inputs. UniWorld-View integrates explicit 3D guidance with generative diffusion modeling to enable precise camera control and geometrically consistent view generation. The geometric guidance is obtained through an occlusion-aware point cloud rendering strategy that resolves visibility ambiguities and provides accurate priors for diffusion-based synthesis. By coupling this rendering strategy with powerful video diffusion backbones, UniWorld-View achieves high-fidelity novel view generation even under extreme camera motions and wide-baseline changes, and can further provide multi-view videos for downstream dynamic 3DGS reconstruction. Experiments on the WorldScore benchmark and zero-shot NVS benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of UniWorld-View in controllability, geometric consistency, and visual fidelity.

CameraSquad: Achieving Content Consistency in Parallel Multi-Trajectory Camera-Controlled Video Generation

Camera-controlled video generation is valuable for applications ranging from visual design to providing 2D supervision for 4D generation tasks. However, existing approaches are limited to single-trajectory generation, forcing users to process multiple trajectories in separate batches. This serial inference introduces content inconsistencies across viewpoints due to the inherent randomness of diffusion models. Explicit point cloud methods can only partially address this problem, as single-viewpoint back-projection suffers from sparsity and depth estimation errors. We propose CameraSquad, a multi-trajectory camera control framework that supports both single-trajectory and parallel multi-trajectory generation. Our method achieves precise camera control while preserving input video content through decoupled content and camera control mechanisms. To ensure viewpoint consistency in multi-trajectory mode, we design a dual-mode cross-view attention mechanism that maintains consistency across parallel trajectories while guaranteeing camera control precision. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CameraSquad achieves competitive performance in camera control accuracy, consistency maintenance, and generation quality compared to existing approaches.

PE-Field 4D: Video Generation Models as Canvas

This work revisits the role of positional encoding in video diffusion transformers and shows that it provides a useful spatial bias for geometry-aware control, and introduces a geometry-aware cross-attention mechanism that enables target video latent tokens to attend to structured context tokens derived from reference images or frames.

SPEED: One-Step Pixel Diffusion for High-quality Video Frame Interpolation

Despite the success of diffusion models in Video Frame Interpolation (VFI), existing methods still suffer from two critical limitations. First, latent diffusion inevitably loses fine-grained details when reconstructing images from latent representations back to the pixel space. Second, multi-step sampling incurs prohibitive memory consumption and inference latency. To address these issues, we propose SPEED, a one-step pixel diffusion framework for high-quality VFI. Specifically, SPEED employs a progressive multi-stage architecture with dynamic patch scaling to effectively learn multi-scale motion, structural, and appearance representations. Furthermore, we propose a novel Noise-Update-Only Attention mechanism to prevent semantic degradation of the clean condition frames while reducing the computational overhead by nearly 50%. Besides, we introduce a Drift-aware Timestep Sampling strategy coupled with a tailored training objective to directly predict images in the pixel space, enabling one-step inference without compromising the quality of the generated frames. Extensive experiments show that SPEED achieves state-of-the-art performance. On SNU-FILM, SPEED reduces LPIPS by 8.8% while delivering 63.3% faster inference and 10.6% lower memory usage. On challenging 4K benchmarks, it further surpasses prior methods by up to 51.5% in LPIPS.
