EchoStyle: Unlocking High-Fidelity Video Stylization with Reverse Data Synthesis

Video style transfer aims to render videos in a target artistic style while preserving content, structure, and motion. While image stylization has advanced rapidly, video stylization remains challenging due to temporal inconsistency. Most existing methods stylize frames or keyframes and enforce consistency via heuristic temporal propagation, which is brittle under occlusions, disocclusions, and long-term motion, leading to drift and flickering artifacts. We argue that a fundamental bottleneck lies in the lack of large-scale triplet data and a principled training paradigm that jointly models and disentangles style, content, and motion.To address this, we introduce VISTA-1000, a synthetic dataset with 1,000 styles and motion-aligned triplets of style reference, clean video, and stylized video, and propose a diffusion-transformer-based in-context video style transfer framework with a lightweight style adapter for robust style extraction. Extensive experiments demonstrate SOTA performance in style fidelity, temporal consistency, and content preservation.

We present VISTA, a two-stage framework for generating stylized 3D human motion by fusing structural content from text prompts with expressive style from reference videos, without requiring jointly paired (text, video, stylized motion) triplets. A Dual-channel Autoencoder first maps motion sequences and video clips into a shared latent manifold. A masked autoregressive diffusion backbone then operates within this manifold, injecting video-derived style through a dedicated late-fusion Dual-AdaLN pathway while preserving text-conditioned content structure. A cross-batch unpaired training protocol with latent cycle consistency enables joint learning across separate semantically rich and stylistically diverse datasets. As a proof-of-concept for controllable animation synthesis, we validate VISTA on rendered motion-capture references: it achieves the highest style recognition accuracy among video-conditioned methods while preserving competitive content alignment, and its decomposed 3-way classifier-free guidance provides independent, user-controllable calibration of the content--style balance at inference time.

Visual text editing aims to precisely modify text in images and videos while preserving stylistic consistency and visual realism. Despite significant advances in the image domain, video text editing remains largely unexplored: it is a localized task demanding stroke-level precision within small text regions, which compounds the challenges of cross-frame accuracy, temporal coherence, and stylistic fidelity. We introduce SteerVTE, a unified framework that \underline{\textbf{steer}}s a frozen video diffusion model to perform precise \underline{\textbf{V}}ideo \underline{\textbf{T}}ext \underline{\textbf{E}}diting through style and glyph control. Built on a frozen diffusion transformer, SteerVTE attaches a lightweight text context adapter with two complementary modules: a style encoder capturing the original text's visual attributes, and dual-granularity glyph encoders encoding the target text at both the line and character levels. To overcome the inherently weak text rendering priors of video foundation models, we further propose a glyph-aware spatial-focal loss and a three-stage progressive training curriculum that scales from image to video data. To support large-scale training, we also develop an automatic synthesis pipeline and construct SteerVTE-1M, a dataset of one million triplets spanning diverse scenes, fonts, and stylistic effects. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SteerVTE substantially outperforms existing video editing baselines across text accuracy, style consistency, and temporal coherence.
