Towards Error-Free Long Video Generation
On the map: Diffusion models → Video generation
Abstract (arXiv)
Recent advances in video generation have made minute-level synthesis possible; however, generating long videos remains challenging due to error accumulation, attribute drift, and the limited availability of long video data. In this paper, we introduce an infinite-length video generation framework that focusing on addressing these issues and produces high-quality, dynamic, and identity-consistent single-shot long videos. We first finetune a diffusion model as a video extension model on large-scale short video data to autoregressively generate temporally coherent clips. Inspired by the success of large language models (LLMs), we adopt causal attention computation between clips to further finetune this model on long video data. In this way, the tokens in one clip (short video) are computed by bidirectional attention while tokens among clips are computed by unidirectional attention. This design leverages the strengths of modern diffusion models while preserving long-term context information, effectively mitigating error accumulation and attribute drift. To achieve memory efficiency during inference, we adopt a key-value (KV) caching mechanism to maintain a constant KV memory. Furthermore, we introduce truncation-rectified flow (T-RFlow) technique to further suppress error accumulation. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Our framework establishes a new benchmark for realistic and coherent minute-level video synthesis.
