Description
VideoPoet represents a significant advancement in AI-driven video synthesis, functioning as a large language model designed for zero-shot video generation. Its core innovation lies in a straightforward modeling method that enables the conversion of any autoregressive language model into a sophisticated video generator. This approach allows for the creation of high-quality videos from textual prompts, demonstrating a remarkable ability to produce a wide range of large, interesting, and high-fidelity motions.

At its technical foundation, VideoPoet utilizes a pre-trained MAGVIT V2 video tokenizer and a SoundStream audio tokenizer. These components convert images, video, and audio clips of variable lengths into discrete codes within a unified vocabulary. These codes are compatible with text-based language models, facilitating seamless integration with other modalities like text. An autoregressive language model then learns across video, image, audio, and text modalities to predict the subsequent video or audio token in a sequence. The training framework incorporates a mixture of multimodal generative learning objectives, including text-to-video, text-to-image, image-to-video, video frame continuation, video inpainting and outpainting, video stylization, and video-to-audio. These tasks can be composed to achieve additional zero-shot capabilities, such as text-to-audio generation.
VideoPoet's capabilities extend beyond simple generation. It can output high-motion, variable-length videos based on text prompts and can also generate audio to match an input video without text guidance. The model supports generating videos in square or portrait orientations, making it suitable for short-form content. Furthermore, it excels in controllable video editing, allowing subjects to follow different motions or styles, and interactive editing where users can select from generated candidates to refine motion types. Image-to-video generation is also a key feature, transforming any input image into a video guided by a text prompt. Zero-shot stylization allows for videos to adopt various artistic styles based on text prompts, and controllable camera motions can be specified through prompt engineering, enabling effects like zoom outs, dolly zooms, and FPV drone shots.
The model demonstrates state-of-the-art video generation, particularly in producing diverse and high-fidelity motions. It can generate longer videos by iteratively predicting one second of output based on a one-second input clip, showing strong object identity preservation. This makes VideoPoet a powerful tool for visual storytelling, content creation, and exploring novel forms of media synthesis. The research highlights its potential for creating dynamic visual narratives and applying stylistic effects with ease.
