A new benchmark, KeyFrame-Compass, enables comprehensive, diagnostic evaluation of keyframe-conditioned video generation models by assessing both accurate keyframe reproduction and overall video quality. Its application revealed a consistent trade-off between keyframe fidelity and natural video synthesis, as well as performance degradation with increased constraint density and specific challenges for open-source models in interpreting storyboard-grid inputs.

Key insights

  • Models face an inherent trade-off between precisely reproducing input keyframes and generating natural, fluent video transitions, often resulting in a "slide-show-like" effect for high fidelity.
  • Instruction adherence, particularly for visual and temporal control, degrades consistently as the density of keyframe constraints increases.
  • Open-source models struggle significantly with interpreting storyboard-grid inputs, frequently failing to decompose them into coherent, temporally ordered keyframe sequences.
