OminiVR surpasses all prior methods on all six visual metrics, achieves the best audio quality, and produces natural colorization---the first method to jointly address all three aspects of audio-video generative restoration.
Abstract
Historical films suffer from co-occurring visual and audio degradations---blur, noise, flicker, hiss, clipping, and dropout---yet existing methods restore each modality independently, leaving quality gaps and cross-modal inconsistency. We present OmniVR, the first joint audio-video generative restoration model. Built upon a 22B-parameter audio-video generation backbone, OmniVR formulates restoration as conditional generation within a unified multimodal DiT: the low-quality video and audio are encoded as latent conditions, combined with a fixed restoration prompt, and jointly denoised to recover visual structure, temporal motion, and acoustic detail under one coordinated objective. Three key designs enable this adaptation: (1) a joint audio-video degradation pipeline that simulates real old-film characteristics from Internet-collected data; (2) an architecture-preserving text-to-audio-video (T2AV) to audio-video-to-audio-video (AV2AV) transition with prompt annealing that maximally retains the generative prior; and (3) first-frame image-to-video (I2V) anchoring with loss reweighting and waveform supervision for long-video extrapolation and audio fidelity. We also propose OmniVRBench, the first benchmark that evaluates audio-video restoration across visual quality, audio quality, temporal consistency, and audio-visual synchrony on 200 real historical clips. OmniVR surpasses all prior methods on all six visual metrics, achieves the best audio quality, and produces natural colorization---the first method to jointly address all three aspects. Code and weights will be publicly released. Project Page: https://xin1u.github.io/OminiVR_PAGE/
OmniVAE is presented, a jointly trained audio-video VAE that learns fine-grained semantic alignment between audio and video latent representations that translates into higher generation quality and more accurate cross-modal synchronization in downstream text-to-audio-video generation.

Recent video generators often omit audio or synthesize it in a separate stage, limiting reciprocal modeling of visual dynamics and acoustic events. We present DreamX-Creator 1.0, a compact native joint audio-video generation system centered on a 7B generator. Conditioned on a first frame and a text prompt, the generator jointly denoises modality-specialized audio and video streams. The streams are processed independently in the first half of the network and coupled in the latter half through Gated Cross-Modal Attention, whose token- and head-wise output gates modulate each active cross-modal attention-head output. A unified Audio-Video Data System constructs and filters temporally coherent clips, produces structured multimodal annotations, and organizes clips into capability-oriented data pools. Progressive Joint Training comprises two audio-video pre-training stages followed by High-Quality Finetuning. Audio-Video Reinforcement Learning further post-trains the generator with Modality-Aware Multimodal Feedback that routes video-, audio-, and cross-modal feedback to the corresponding streams. For high-resolution output, our Autoregressive 1-Step 2K Refinement pipeline adapts a bidirectional multi-step teacher into an autoregressive multi-step refiner and distills it into a student requiring one denoising evaluation per temporal chunk. Overall, DreamX-Creator 1.0 achieves native, synchronized audio-video generation with performance competitive with state-of-the-art open-source systems. By releasing our compact 7B generator and 2K Refiner, we seek to democratize native audio-video generation and provide an accessible foundation for future research in unified audio-video generative modeling.

A novel framework that performs selective cross-modal alignment through a learnable masking mechanism, enabling the model to isolate and align only the shared latent components relevant to both modalities is proposed.

Talking-video character replacement requires coordinated transfer of appearance and voice while preserving the source motion, scene, linguistic content, and audio-video timing. Existing methods use separately optimized models for the two modalities, making audio-visual consistency difficult to enforce. We present UniSwap, the first framework for streaming joint audio-visual identity replacement in talking videos. Given a source video, a reference image, and a reference voice clip, UniSwap transfers the reference appearance and vocal timbre within a single audio-visual diffusion transformer while preserving the source content and dynamics. To address the scarcity of aligned cross-identity training pairs, we introduce a swap-and-reconstruct pipeline that removes visual and vocal identity from real clips and uses the original clips as reconstruction targets. Starting from a bidirectional backbone, we progressively adapt the model through In-context Pretraining for joint replacement, Conditional Streaming Adaptation for block-causal KV-cached generation, and Efficient Self-forcing DMD for mitigating exposure bias and reducing sampling from 30 to 3 denoising steps per block. Efficient Multi-LoRA Switching enables the three DMD roles to share a single frozen backbone. Feature-RoPE Decomposition keeps cached positions within the training range, supporting stable long-form inference. Experiments demonstrate strong audio-visual synchronization, competitive identity preservation, efficient streaming, and stable long-form generation.

This work proposes FaverNet, a Frequency-guided All-in-one VidEo Restoration Network, which incorporates a Frequency-discriminative Conditioning Mechanism (FCM) and a Prompt-guided Alignment Mechanism (PAM), which enhances the degradation-awareness of the restoration process by conditioning the model with degradation cues extracted from frequency domain.
