FlowLong: Inference-time Long Video Generation via Manifold-constrained Tweedie Matching

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

A novel inference-time method for long video generation using overlapping sliding windows with Tweedie matching and stochastic early-phase sampling to improve temporal consistency and visual quality without additional training.

Extending the generation horizon of video diffusion models to long sequences remains a long-standing and important challenge. Existing training-free approaches fall into two categories: extensions of bidirectional models, which are tightly coupled to specific architectures and suffer from quality degradation over long horizons, and autoregressive models, which accumulate drift errors due to exposure bias and tend to produce repetitive motion patterns. To address these issues, we propose a novel but simple inference-time approach for long video generation that is architecture-agnostic and requires no additional training. Our method generates long videos via overlapping sliding windows, where predicted clean samples from adjacent windows are blended via Tweedie matching to enforce both manifold constraint and temporal consistency across overlap regions. Stochastic early-phase sampling then synchronizes per-window trajectories by injecting fresh noise after each Tweedie matching correction in the high-noise phase, before transitioning to deterministic ODE sampling to preserve fine-grained visual fidelity. Applied to various video generation models, our method generates videos several times longer than the native window length while outperforming both training-free and autoregressive baselines in temporal consistency and visual quality, and further extends to audio-video joint generation and text-to-3DGS without any fine-tuning.

Abstract

A novel inference-time method for long video generation using overlapping sliding windows with Tweedie matching and stochastic early-phase sampling to improve temporal consistency and visual quality.

Extending the generation horizon ofvideo diffusion modelsto long sequences remains a long-standing and important challenge. Existing training-free approaches fall into two categories: extensions ofbidirectional models, which are tightly coupled to specific architectures and suffer from quality degradation over long horizons, andautoregressive models, which accumulate drift errors due toexposure biasand tend to produce repetitive motion patterns. To address these issues, we propose a novel but simple inference-time approach for longvideo generationthat is architecture-agnostic and requires no additional training.
