ElasticTTT: Prior-Preserving Test-Time Tuning for Video Editing

Research Multimodal & Generative

Merged summary

TL;DR - ElasticTTT is a test-time tuning framework for one-shot video editing that prevents pretrained diffusion models from collapsing toward the source video. It preserves the model’s generative prior while improving edit fidelity and protecting unchanged regions.

  • Identifies “Prior Collapse,” where standard single-point optimization causes lost text conditioning, source-video memorization, or entangled regional features.
  • Uses Target Distribution Regularization to discourage sharp memorization minima.
  • Introduces Contrastive CFG to steer generation away from source bias.
  • Applies an Asynchronous Noise Schedule to preserve unedited regions and reports state-of-the-art performance in extensive evaluations.
