AutoVFX: New Era of AI-Assisted Visual Content Creation
AutoVFX is best model for realistic video editing
Paper: AutoVFX: Physically Realistic Video Editing from Natural Language Instructions (24 Pages)

Researchers from HelloGroup Inc. are interested in development of creating realistic and dynamic VFX videos automatically from a single video and natural language instructions.
Hmm..What’s the background?
The current VFX software, while powerful, is labor-intensive and requires significant expertise, making it inaccessible to most people.
Previous attempts to democratize VFX focused on generative video editing, using raw video and text prompts to generate new videos. However, these purely data-driven approaches struggled to achieve physical plausibility, precise control, and special effects, making them insufficient replacements for traditional VFX pipelines.
Another approach involved building 3D scene representations from videos, allowing edits like object insertion or texture changes. This method aligns better with the traditional VFX pipeline, but is often limited in editing capabilities and still requires manual interaction with complex interfaces, making it difficult for everyday users.
So what is proposed in the research paper?
AutoVFX builds upon these areas, achieving several key advantages:
Combines generative editing and physical simulation: AutoVFX offers the best of both worlds, creating videos with physically-grounded, controllable, and photorealistic effects like traditional VFX, while supporting open-world natural language instructions for user-friendly editing
Holistic scene modeling: AutoVFX establishes a comprehensive scene model encoding geometry, appearance, semantics, and lighting from the input video. This forms the basis for diverse editing, simulation, and rendering capabilities
LLM-based program generation: AutoVFX uses LLMs (specifically GPT-4) to convert natural language instructions into programs that call the predefined VFX modules. This enables intuitive and accessible video editing for users without coding expertise

What’s next?
The modular framework of AutoVFX allows for easy integration of new functionalities. This could include more advanced physical simulations (fluids, snow), global style changes, and interaction with external environments.
