What is VideoJAM?
VideoJAM, introduced by Meta, is a framework for enhancing motion coherence in video generation models. By introducing a joint appearance-motion representation, the model learns to predict both pixel and motion information during training. During inference, it uses the model's own motion predictions as dynamic guidance signals to generate more coherent motion. VideoJAM incorporates motion prediction into the training objective and employs an Inner-Guidance mechanism during inference, significantly improving motion coherence in video generation while maintaining visual quality. VideoJAM is versatile and can be used with any video generation model without modifying training data or scaling the model. It outperforms state-of-the-art models in multiple benchmark tests, providing new insights for the development of video generation technology.
Main functions of VideoJAM
- Improve the continuity of movementBased on joint learning of appearance and motion, it generates more natural and coherent motion, reducing distortion and physical errors in video generation.
- Improve visual qualityWhile improving the fluidity of motion, it optimizes the overall visual quality of the generated video, making the video look more realistic.
- UniversalityVideoJAM can be used in any video generation model without modifying the training data or model size, making it widely applicable.
- Dynamic guidance mechanismDuring the inference phase, the model's own motion predictions are used as dynamic guidance signals to ensure that the generated video is more reasonable and coherent in motion.
The technical principles of VideoJAM
- Joint appearance - sporty design:
- Training phaseDuring training, VideoJAM predicts not only the pixel count (appearance) of a video but also its motion information (such as optical flow). To achieve this, it adds a linear layer at the model's input to merge the video and motion information into a joint representation; and another linear layer at the output to extract motion predictions from the joint representation. The objective function is also modified to optimize both appearance and motion predictions simultaneously.
- Motion representationVideoJAM uses optical flow as a motion representation, converting the optical flow into RGB video so that the model can process motion information.
- Dynamic bootstrapping mechanism (Inner-Guidance)When generating video, VideoJAM uses the model's continuously evolving motion predictions as dynamic guidance signals. Based on modifications to the sampling distribution, it guides the generation process towards coherent motion. This mechanism ensures that the generated video has more realistic and natural motion.
- Universality and adaptabilityVideoJAM is designed to be highly versatile, requiring only the addition of two linear layers to an existing video generation model and minor modifications to the objective function. It requires no additional training data or model scaling and can be easily applied to a wide range of video generation models.
