Abstract: This paper presents a powerful framework to customize video creations by
incorporating multiple specific identity (ID) photos, with video diffusion
Transformers, referred to as Ingredients. Generally, our method
consists of three primary modules: (i) a facial extractor that
captures versatile and precise facial features for each human ID from both
global and local perspectives; (ii) a multi-scale projector that maps
face embeddings into the contextual space of image query in video diffusion
transformers; (iii) an ID router that dynamically combines and
allocates multiple ID embedding to the corresponding space-time regions.
Leveraging a meticulously curated text-video dataset and a multi-stage training
protocol, Ingredients demonstrates superior performance in turning
custom photos into dynamic and personalized video content. Qualitative
evaluations highlight the advantages of proposed method, positioning it as a
significant advancement toward more effective generative video control tools in
Transformer-based architecture, compared to existing methods. The data, code,
and model weights are publicly available at:
