Title: IMAGEdit: Let Any Subject Transform
Primary area: generative models
Keywords: Video Editing, Diffusion Model, Video Synthesis

Abstract: In this paper, we present IMAGEdit, a training-free framework for any number of video subject editing that manipulates the appearances of multiple designated subjects while preserving non-target regions, without finetuning or retraining.
We achieve this by providing robust multimodal conditioning and precise mask sequences through a prompt-guided multimodal alignment module and a prior-based mask retargeting module.
We first leverage large models' understanding and generation capabilities to produce multimodal information and mask motion sequences for multiple subjects across various types.
Then, the obtained prior mask sequences are fed into a pretrained mask-driven video generation model to synthesize the edited video. 
With strong generalization capability, IMAGEdit remedies insufficient prompt-side multimodal conditioning and overcomes mask boundary entanglement in videos with any number of subjects, thereby significantly expanding the applicability of video editing.
More importantly, IMAGEdit is compatible with any mask-driven video generation model, significantly improving overall performance. 
Extensive experiments on our newly constructed multi-subject benchmark MSVBench verify that IMAGEdit consistently surpasses state-of-the-art methods.
Code, dataset, and weights will be released.
