CP-Diffusion: Conditional Prompt-Based Diffusion Models for Video Generation

Abstract

Motion customization plays a pivotal role in video generation by preserving the original appearance and context while adhering to specific motion patterns. In contrast, video generation techniques often lack coherence and realism due to difficulties in capturing and transferring motion patterns. Building upon the Video Motion Customization (VMC) framework, we proposed a few-shot learning approach using our unified Multi-Head Temporal Attention (MHTA) module for motion customization in text-to-video diffusion models. This significantly reduces computational requirements while maintaining and improving motion quality. Our model provides a streamlined mechanism for motion distillation while maintaining separate self-, cross-, and temporal attention. Moreover, the temporal attention layer is adapted through a simplified mechanism with efficient Q/K/V projections, while maintaining fixed spatial self- and cross-attention. The model distills a ground-truth motion vector from consecutive frames to align the predicted and ground-truth motion. Our proposed MHTA model outperforms the baseline in video generation using motion customization while being significantly more resource-efficient. Moreover, our approach can easily be applied to generate conditional prompt-based videos in the gaming industry.
