Abstract: Current diffusion-based video editing primarily focuses on
structure-preserved editing by utilizing various dense correspondences to
ensure temporal consistency and motion alignment. However, these approaches are
often ineffective when the target edit involves a shape change. To embark on
video editing with shape change, we explore customized video subject swapping
in this work, where we aim to replace the main subject in a source video with a
target subject having a distinct identity and potentially different shape. In
contrast to previous methods that rely on dense correspondences, we introduce
the VideoSwap framework that exploits semantic point correspondences, inspired
by our observation that only a small number of semantic points are necessary to
align the subject's motion trajectory and modify its shape. We also introduce
various user-point interactions (\eg, removing points and dragging points) to
address various semantic point correspondence. Extensive experiments
demonstrate state-of-the-art video subject swapping results across a variety of
real-world videos.
