EditaLive! Unified Character Video Editing for Live Streaming

arXiv cs.CV Multimodal & Generative Zhiyuan Li, Chi-Man Pun, Peng-Tao Jiang, Bo Li, Xiaodong Cun 2026-08-27

TL;DR - EditaLive is a framework for instruction-driven, real-time character video editing in live streams. It adapts an image-animation model for causal streaming and preserves facial expressions while reducing inference to a low-latency two-step process.

  • Repurposes Wan-Animate by leveraging its separation of character appearance and motion.
  • Uses the CharEdit-50K dataset to train reference-frame editing and video reconstruction.
  • Converts offline bidirectional generation into causal streaming generation.
  • Combines aligned self-rollout distillation, fixed RoPE, align forcing, and sparse attention to reduce latency and appearance drift.
