Generating high-fidelity visual effects (VFX) typically demands massive datasets and prohibitive computational power due to the intricate coupling of spatial textures and temporal dynamics. In this paper, we introduce EasyVFX, a resource-efficient framework that achieves realistic VFX synthesis under stringent constraints. Our core philosophy lies in frequency-domain decomposition: we observe that the complexity of VFX can be significantly mitigated by decoupling high-frequency components, which represent intricate spatial appearances, from low-frequency components that encapsulate global motion dynamics. This spectral disentanglement transforms a high-dimensional learning problem into manageable sub-tasks, thereby lowering the optimization barrier and reducing data dependency. Building upon this insight, we propose a two-stage training paradigm. First, we design a Frequency-aware Mixture-of-Experts (Freq-MoE) architecture. By utilizing a soft routing mechanism, our model assigns specialized experts to distinct spectral bands, enabling them to cultivate robust priors for appearance and motion dynamics. This specialization allows the model to acquire foundational VFX knowledge with fewer GPU resources. Second, we introduce a Test-Time Training strategy powered by a novel Frequency-constraint Loss. This allows the pre-trained model to swiftly adapt to specific, unseen effects through localized optimizations, requiring only about 100 steps on a single GPU. Experimental results demonstrate that EasyVFX produces structurally consistent and visually stunning effects, proving that frequency-aware learning is a key catalyst for democratizing professional-grade VFX.

Large-scale video diffusion models (VDMs) deliver strong generation performance, but full fine-tuning for downstream tasks incurs prohibitive computational costs. Existing parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods have two critical flaws on billion-scale models: they still require substantial trainable parameters, and reward-based training suffers from noise-induced optimization instability in condition-guided tasks. We propose MagicPrompt, a lightweight framework that achieves extreme parameter efficiency and stable reward optimization. It first adopts Attention-Embedded Prompt Tuning, which steers generation via lightweight soft prompts with orders of magnitude fewer parameters while preserving pre-trained knowledge. It further introduces Dual-Space Reward Feedback Optimization, which uses self-supervised latent objectives to improve condition-guided reward training. Experiments show MagicPrompt reaches competitive performance with less than 1\% trainable parameters and notably reduces training costs.
