Test-Time Tuning (TTT) on pretrained diffusion models has emerged as a powerful paradigm for video editing. However, there exists a foundational mismatch between the distribution-mapping nature of generative models and the single-point optimization of standard TTT. In this paper, we demonstrate that this mismatch triggers \textit{Prior Collapse}, a degenerate state where the model discards the text conditions and spatial latents, collapsing generations to the source video, or entangling the features of distinct regions. To resolve this, we propose \textbf{ElasticTTT}, a novel framework that preserves the prior generative distribution and rescues generative elasticity. Specifically, we propose \textit{Target Distribution Regularization} to prevent sharp memorization minima, \textit{Contrastive CFG} to guide inference away from source biases, and \textit{Asynchronous Noise Schedule} to preserve unedited regions. Extensive evaluations, supported by theoretical analysis, demonstrate that ElasticTTT successfully preserves the generative prior of the base model, achieving state-of-the-art performance on one-shot video editing.
Modern Diffusion Transformers for video generation provide limited control over the progression of time and the editing of temporal dynamics. We propose a temporal-control methodology that extends a pretrained DiT with explicit time editing, allowing control over motion speed and temporal structure without redesigning the backbone. Its core implementation augments the pretrained model with a lightweight temporal module, preserving the original generative prior while expanding its controllable dynamic range.

Text-guided video editing with diffusion models is impractically slow, hindered by costly multi-step sampling and inversion. We present OSVE, the first framework to successfully adapt one-step Text-to-Image (T2I) models for high-quality video editing, addressing the core challenges of inversion, editability, and temporal consistency. To bypass slow iterative inversion, we train a learnable encoder that predicts the initial noise for each frame in a single forward pass. This encoder is trained with a novel Structure-Aware Editing (SAE) loss on a curated dataset of structurally-aligned image pairs, teaching it to preserve the source video's geometry during edits. For temporal coherence, we introduce Unified-Frame Editing (UFE), a technique that concatenates frame latents to facilitate cross-frame attention in a single generation step. Furthermore, for long videos, a sliding-window strategy with an anchor frame maintains global consistency. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that OSVE achieves editing quality comparable or superior to state-of-the-art multi-step methods, while operating approximately 155--171 times faster. This breakthrough paves the way for practical, real-time video editing applications. Code is available at https://github.com/KU-VGI/OSVE.
Recent advances in Diffusion Transformers have driven rapid progress in video generation and editing, yet these capabilities are still handled by separate, task-specific models. Building a unified framework that supports diverse video tasks remains an open challenge: existing unified attempts either require dedicated auxiliary encoders or lack explicit mechanisms to distinguish heterogeneous conditioning tokens, struggling when the number and type of visual conditions vary across tasks. We propose TIDE, a unified framework that integrates instruction-based editing, reference-guided editing, and multi-reference generation. At its core, we introduce per-token task embeddings that assign each input token a task-specific identifier, enabling the model to explicitly disambiguate target, source, and reference tokens. To simultaneously capture high-level semantic understanding and fine-grained structural fidelity, we design a dual-path conditioning scheme that couples a vision-language model with a VAE latent path for complementary signals. We further devise a multi-task progressive training strategy that incrementally introduces tasks of increasing complexity, effectively harmonizing diverse objectives and enabling smooth generalization across heterogeneous task distributions. Extensive experiments on multiple video editing and generation benchmarks demonstrate that TIDE achieves state-of-the-art performance across all evaluated tasks.
