Solution Overview
Problem
Existing AI-based video generation technologies suffer from motion inconsistencies and unwanted artifacts, leading to diminished video quality and coherence, particularly in the smooth transition of movements across frames.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a pretrained motion model that generates animation parameters to guide a U-net architecture, ensuring temporal consistency and smooth motion by iteratively refining frame latents, combined with a motion module that learns motion priors from video datasets and adapts to specific scenarios using lightweight fine-tuning.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If AI-based video generation is used to transform videos, then video transformation capabilities are enhanced, but motion coherency and quality are deteriorated due to artifacts and erratic movements
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by extracting motion vectors from reference frames before the actual video generation process. These motion vectors are used to guide the generation of subsequent frames, ensuring that motion coherence is established in advance rather than being generated randomly, which prevents erratic movements and artifacts in the transformed video.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by using motion compensation techniques where motion vectors from previously generated frames are fed back into the generation process. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adjust and refine motion patterns continuously, maintaining temporal consistency and reducing artifacts across frame transitions.
2Speed
If traditional video generation methods are used, then processing speed is maintained, but motion smoothness and natural transitions are deteriorated
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies segmentation by dividing the video processing into distinct stages: motion vector extraction from reference frames, noise vector generation based on extracted motions, and frame synthesis. This segmented approach allows each stage to be optimized independently, maintaining processing speed while improving motion smoothness through specialized handling of motion information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting noise vectors based on motion vectors extracted from reference frames. Instead of using fixed or random noise parameters, the system modifies noise characteristics according to actual motion patterns, enabling smooth and natural transitions while maintaining efficient processing through parameter-driven generation.

AI summary
Provided are systems and methods for artificial intelligence (AI)-driven smooth video-to-video generation. An example method includes receiving a first video including first frames; acquiring a text including instructions for transforming the first video; encoding the text into text embeddings corresponding to the first frames; encoding the first frames into image latents; generating initial noise vectors and adding the initial noise vectors to the image latents to obtain noisy image latents; providing the text to a pretrained motion model to generate animation parameters corresponding to the first frames; providing the noisy image latents, the text embeddings, and the animation parameters to a neural network to generate second noise vectors for the image latents; removing the second noise vectors from the noisy image latents to obtain denoised image latents; and decoding the denoised image latents into second frames of a second video.
