MOVi, a training-free framework developed by researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Advanced Micro Devices, enhances multi-object video generation in existing text-to-video diffusion models. It leverages large language models for trajectory planning and manipulates diffusion noise reinitialization and cross-attention to produce distinct objects with dynamic, coherent motions, achieving a 100% Dynamic Degree and an FVD of 295.3, outperforming several state-of-the-art baselines.

Key insights

  • Low-frequency noise components in diffusion models significantly contribute to an object's layout and shape, making them suitable for trajectory-guided manipulation to control object movement and placement.
  • Large Language Models (LLMs) possess sufficient open-world knowledge to effectively plan dynamic object trajectories from text-only prompts, acting as an implicit conditioning mechanism for motion control.
  • Combining targeted manipulation of both initial noise (for motion coherence) and cross-attention (for semantic distinctness) within a training-free framework can overcome the challenges of multi-object generation in T2V models.
