SyncVid: World-Equivariant Diffusion for Synchronized Video Generation

Summary

SyncVid synchronizes video diffusion at the source of stochasticity: instead of sampling Gaussian noise independently in each 2D image plane, it samples the noise prior in a canonical 3D space derived from the source video and rasterizes it into target cameras. Built on a LoRA-adapted pretrained video diffusion model with no architectural changes, it improves perceptual quality and cross-view consistency.

Abstract:Generating multiple videos of a dynamic scene from a single reference video requires synthesizing both observed and unobserved content consistently across viewpoints. Existing camera-control methods for video diffusion typically rely on architectural mechanisms, including camera embeddings, cross-view attention, and geometric conditioning. Although effective for static scene content, these approaches often struggle with the fine-grained, dynamic geometry that must remain coherent across views and over time. We synchronize the diffusion process itself by sampling the Gaussian noise prior in a canonical 3D space derived from the source video and rasterizing it into target cameras, rather than sampling independently in each 2D image plane. Our method, SyncVid, lifts a monocular video into a canonical 4D representation, associates noise with scene geometry and unseen space, and rasterizes the resulting structured noise into arbitrary views. Because rendering can introduce local correlations, we further propose a cross-view-consistent whitening procedure that decorrelates neighboring pixels while preserving correspondence across views. The structured noise serves as the diffusion prior for a LoRA-adapted pretrained video diffusion model, requiring no architectural modifications. By enforcing spatiotemporal and cross-view coherence at the source of stochasticity, SyncVid generates synchronized videos and improves both perceptual quality and cross-view consistency in our experiments.

Key points

  • Lifts a monocular video into a canonical 4D representation so noise is tied to scene geometry and unseen space
  • Introduces a cross-view-consistent whitening step that decorrelates neighboring pixels after rendering while preserving cross-view correspondence
  • Requires no architecture modification, using structured noise as the prior for a LoRA-adapted pretrained video diffusion model
