Tri-Prompting: Video Diffusion with Unified Control over Scene, Subject, and Motion

Recent video diffusion models achieve strong visual quality and temporal coherence, but still lack coordinated control over scene layout, customized subject identity, and camera/subject motion. We study controllable video generation from three prompts: a first-frame scene image, 3D-aware multi-view subject references, and a motion-driving signal. This setting is challenging because background regions are often trackable under camera motion, while foreground subjects can rotate, self-occlude, and reveal new regions that require identity-consistent appearance. We introduce Tri-Prompting, a video diffusion framework that combines multi-view subject conditioning with dual-conditioned motion control. Tri-Prompting uses XYZ tracking points for visible background motion and low-resolution RGB proxies for foreground subject pose, allowing the model to recover fine appearance from multi-view references while retaining flexibility for plausible subject-scene interactions. An inference-time ControlNet scale schedule further balances motion controllability and visual realism. We evaluate Tri-Prompting against specialized baselines: DaS for motion reconstruction and Phantom for subject-driven generation. Tri-Prompting achieves competitive or improved reconstruction quality, stronger multi-view identity preservation, and better 3D consistency, while enabling 3D-aware subject insertion and in-scene manipulation.
