Aurora: Unified Video Editing with a Tool-Using Agent

Recent video editing models have converged on a unified conditioning design: a single diffusion transformer jointly consumes text, source video, and reference images, and one set of weights covers replacement, removal, style transfer, and reference-driven insertion. The design is flexible, but it assumes that the user already provides model-ready text, reference images, and spatial grounding for local edits, which real requests often omit. We present Aurora, an agentic video editing framework that pairs a tool-augmented vision-language model (VLM) agent with a unified video diffusion transformer. The VLM agent maps a raw user request to a structured edit plan aligned with the transformer's conditioning channels, thereby resolving textual and visual underspecification before generation. We train the VLM agent with supervised data for complete edit planning and reference-image selection, together with preference pairs for robust tool use and instruction refinement. We introduce AgentEdit-Bench to evaluate agent-enhanced video editing under textual and visual underspecification. Experiments on AgentEdit-Bench and two existing video editing benchmarks show that Aurora improves over instruction-only baselines and that the VLM agent transfers to compatible frozen video editing models.

High-Fidelity Image Inpainting with GAN Inversion

Image inpainting seeks a semantically consistent way to recover the corrupted image in the light of its unmasked content. Previous approaches usually reuse the well-trained GAN as effective prior to generate realistic patches for missing holes with GAN inversion. Nevertheless, the ignorance of a hard constraint in these algorithms may yield the gap between GAN inversion and image inpainting. Addressing this problem, in this paper, we devise a novel GAN inversion model for image inpainting, dubbed InvertFill, mainly consisting of an encoder with a pre-modulation module and a GAN generator with F&W+ latent space. Within the encoder, the pre-modulation network leverages multi-scale structures to encode more discriminative semantics into style vectors. In order to bridge the gap between GAN inversion and image inpainting, F&W+ latent space is proposed to eliminate glaring color discrepancy and semantic inconsistency. To reconstruct faithful and photorealistic images, a simple yet effective Soft-update Mean Latent module is designed to capture more diverse in-domain patterns that synthesize high-fidelity textures for large corruptions. Comprehensive experiments on four challenging datasets, including Places2, CelebA-HQ, MetFaces, and Scenery, demonstrate that our InvertFill outperforms the advanced approaches qualitatively and quantitatively and supports the completion of out-of-domain images well.

Unbiased Multi-Modality Guidance for Image Inpainting

Image inpainting is an ill-posed problem to recover missing or damaged image content based on incomplete images with masks. Previous works usually predict the auxiliary structures (e.g., edges, segmentation and contours) to help fill visually realistic patches in a multi-stage fashion. However, imprecise auxiliary priors may yield biased inpainted results. Besides, it is time-consuming for some methods to be implemented by multiple stages of complex neural networks. To solve this issue, we develop an end-to-end multi-modality guided transformer network, including one inpainting branch and two auxiliary branches for semantic segmentation and edge textures. Within each transformer block, the proposed multi-scale spatial-aware attention module can learn the multi-modal structural features efficiently via auxiliary denormalization. Different from previous methods relying on direct guidance from biased priors, our method enriches semantically consistent context in an image based on discriminative interplay information from multiple modalities. Comprehensive experiments on several challenging image inpainting datasets show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance to deal with various regular/irregular masks efficiently.
