Current identity customized video generation methodologies are predominantly limited to single-identity scenarios, as the lack of explicit identity separation mechanisms often leads to identity confusion in multi-identity settings. Existing multi-identity approaches, which directly extend single-identity frameworks by concatenating face images as input conditions, frequently result in unnatural facial expressions and motions, manifesting as the "copy-paste" phenomenon. To overcome these limitations, we introduce GroupVideo, a novel framework that leverages multiple individual photographs to generate identitycustomized video. Built upon Video Diffusion Transformers, GroupVideo incorporates multimodal identity alignment: visual alignment jointly encodes multiple face images to provide robust identity references, while semantic alignment introduces a semantic perceiver to enhance the naturalness of motions. An ID localization module with spatial guidance is introduced to address identity blending and enhance identity fidelity, along with bounding box constraints and mask regularization loss, to focus on facial regions and improve training efficiency. In response to the shortage of multi-ID video datasets, we have curated a comprehensive high-quality dataset of 20,000 videos, thereby establishing a crucial resource to advance future research in multi-ID video generation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that GroupVideo outperforms existing methods in generating multi-character videos with consistent identities and natural motions.
Current identity-consistent video generation methods struggle to preserve appearance fidelity under large viewpoint changes. While introducing multi-view reference input offers a natural solution, progress remains constrained by the lack of effective frameworks for multi-view inputs and the scarcity of multi-view data. We address these challenges by proposing HarmoView, a robust framework for identity-consistent video generation that effectively integrates multi-view cues through three architectural refinements complemented by a staged training curriculum. Specifically, we first introduce Multi-level Feature Injection to anchor identity fidelity; by injecting raw ViT features from frontal references alongside text tokens via cross-attention, MFI provides persistent low-level appearance anchors that complement the high-level identity features within DiT blocks, leading to enhanced identity preservation. Then, we employ learnable proxy tokens to unify heterogeneous reference layouts across single-/multi-view settings while simultaneously resolving the reference-view mismatch problem. Jump-RoPE is further developed for identity-wise feature isolation to reduce identity crosstalk. To activate these structural capabilities while preserving the original generative priors, we propose the Progressive View Curriculum. This four-stage training strategy employs view dropout to facilitate a stable transition from vanilla T2V generation to high-fidelity, identity-persistent spatial reasoning. Furthermore, we construct a large-scale multi-view dataset to address the issue of data scarcity. Extensive evaluation on our multi-view benchmark, comprising 100 manually-curated cases spanning 52 unique identities, demonstrates that HarmoView significantly outperforms open-source baselines and matches leading closed-source engines, achieving state-of-the-art performance in identity-consistent video generation.
Recent progress in video generation has shown impressive visual synthesis capabilities. However, open-domain customized video generation remains limited by the lack of large-scale, annotated datasets capturing diverse identity-specific attributes. To address this, we introduce PexelsCustom-1M, the first publicly available million-scale dataset for identity-preserving video generation, containing one million curated <identity, text, video> triplets across 8,000+ categories. Leveraging this, we propose CustoMDiT, a parameter-efficient framework that adapts a pretrained multimodal Diffusion Transformer into a customized video generator with only 8% additional learnable parameters. Our method surpasses prior state-of-the-art. However, benchmarks such as DreamBooth cover only 100 classes, which is insufficient for real-world applications. To overcome this, we construct OpenCustom, a new benchmark with 1,000+ categories, created via cross-dataset knowledge fusion from ImageNet and MS-COCO. Extensive experiments confirm the advantages of both our dataset and model. We will open-source the entire ecosystem--including dataset, pipeline, benchmark, and implementations--to support further research.
Subject-to-video (S2V) generation has made substantial progress in preserving reference subjects across diverse categories, yet generic subject consistency remains insufficient for human-centric generation. A video may appear globally consistent while identity-critical human details still drift across frames, poses, and interactions. This issue becomes more severe in multi-person scenarios, where incorrect identity-role binding leads to subject confusion, attribute swapping, and excessive copying of reference-specific appearance cues. We propose Vera, a unified human-centric S2V framework for single- and multi-person generation. We first construct a million-pair identity-aligned human image-video dataset through person-level cross-clip retrieval, providing explicit identity correspondence and diverse references. Built on this dataset, Vera introduces two complementary designs. Identity-Focal Masked Supervision (IFMS) strengthens identity-aware learning with spatially focused supervision while reducing interference from irrelevant artifacts. Reference-Aware Layer-wise Attention (RALA) regulates how video tokens interact with reference identity cues in the DiT backbone, preserving stable identity anchors and enhancing layer-aware identity readout. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Vera improves human identity consistency, multi-person subject binding, and motion naturalness, while reducing identity confusion and excessive reference-image copying.
