The recent developments in the field of video generation and editing have been marked by significant advancements in zero-shot and tuning-free approaches, aiming to enhance the fidelity, consistency, and controllability of generated content. A notable trend is the exploration of inherent capabilities within Video Diffusion Models (VDMs) and text-to-image (T2I) models for video generation and editing tasks, without the need for additional models or extensive fine-tuning. This approach not only simplifies the process but also improves the quality and diversity of the generated videos. Another key direction is the development of frameworks that allow for precise control over object and camera movements within videos, addressing the challenge of maintaining detailed appearance and coherent motion. These advancements are paving the way for more realistic and customizable video content, with applications ranging from personalized video editing to virtual try-on and beyond.
