Abstract
We introduce CameraAnything, the first unified framework for camera controlled video editing that enables joint control of both intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters. Existing approaches either rely on expensive 3D reconstruction to achieve full camera functionality or restrict editing to extrinsic parameter manipulation. Moreover, the coupled influence of intrinsic and extrinsic parameters on video appearance makes disentangled modeling particularly challenging. To address this, we adopt per-pixel Pl\"ucker ray injection alongside resolution-aware 3D RoPE in self-attention, building both camera conditioning and spatial positional encoding on the target latent to jointly control camera position, focal length, and native resolution editing without cropping or outpainting. To overcome the scarcity of paired training data, we further develop a scalable synthetic pipeline that constructs diverse dynamic scenes through structured multi-camera recording and generates synchronized videos with varied camera configurations. With a tailored orthogonal training strategy, CameraAnything enables expressive video reshooting with arbitrary viewpoint control, focal length adjustment, resolution adaptation, and multi-shot transitions within a single generation process, offering strong practical value for cinematic video editing and cross-platform content adaptation in video production.
Beyond semantic content, camera parameters play a pivotal role in dictating the geometric perspective and appearance of any given image. While recent image editing models excel at semantic and stylistic manipulation, they struggle with explicit camera parameter control. When handling large perspective shifts, instruction-driven models face a dilemma: they either suffer from structural tearing or generate conservative outputs that ignore geometric instructions. To address this, we introduce CameraEditor, a framework that reformulates camera-controlled editing from a spatial problem into a temporal sequence prediction task. By leveraging the temporal coherence of video diffusion models, our approach integrates an explicit geometric perception module with a dynamic reference routing mechanism. This allows us to construct geometrically rigorous visual reference pairs via dynamic panorama cropping, overcoming the ambiguity of text-based instructions. Furthermore, CameraEditor strategically inserts intermediate transition frames to decompose large perspective shifts, providing a robust temporal buffer that preserves content identity and spatial coherence. We construct a training dataset of 5,760 instances. As an independent contribution, we introduce CamEditor-Bench, a model-agnostic evaluation suite of 462 test cases. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CameraEditor achieves state-of-the-art camera control precision and source identity preservation, outperforming existing methods.

We present FlashRender, a few-step generative rendering framework that retakes a source video along a target camera trajectory in seconds. We identify sampling-step-dependent camera control as a prominent manifestation of discretization error in existing multi-step generative rendering models and show that resolving this inconsistency substantially lowers denoising trajectory curvature, facilitating subsequent step distillation. To this end, we introduce Representation Transformation and Alignment (RETA), which aligns hidden source-video representations with target-video features from a frozen visual geometry model. This directly encodes the geometric transformation within the source-video stream, enabling sampling-step-consistent camera control. We then fine-tune the model with the MeanFlow objective on the lower-curvature denoising trajectory induced by RETA, allowing the model to more effectively address discretization error. Finally, we apply on-policy flow map distillation to correct self-rollout errors under fixed few-step sampling. Extensive experiments show that RETA, MeanFlow, and on-policy flow map distillation play complementary roles in few-step generative rendering. Together, they enable our approach to match multi-step baselines in video quality and geometric consistency at 25x lower sampling cost while achieving superior camera controllability, even under out-of-distribution target camera trajectories.

The UniCam framework is proposed, a unified framework that introduces a temporally coherent stochastic representation, termed CameraNoise, warped from camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, which significantly outperforms prior methods in both fidelity and controllability.

This work shows that camera motion, object trajectories, and depth can be unified into a single 3D point-track representation, from which one model performs joint camera and object control, depth editing, and motion transfer in a single forward pass, enabling interactive 4D-controllable streaming generation for the first time.

This work revisits the role of positional encoding in video diffusion transformers and shows that it provides a useful spatial bias for geometry-aware control, and introduces a geometry-aware cross-attention mechanism that enables target video latent tokens to attend to structured context tokens derived from reference images or frames.
