Place Anything into Any Video
This addresses the need for efficient and cost-effective video editing in scenarios where real-world video capture is impractical, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing controllable video editing methods.
The paper tackles the problem of inserting any object into any video using only a picture or text description, achieving a system that seamlessly integrates realistic objects into videos as demonstrated through a user study.
Controllable video editing has demonstrated remarkable potential across diverse applications, particularly in scenarios where capturing or re-capturing real-world videos is either impractical or costly. This paper introduces a novel and efficient system named Place-Anything, which facilitates the insertion of any object into any video solely based on a picture or text description of the target object or element. The system comprises three modules: 3D generation, video reconstruction, and 3D target insertion. This integrated approach offers an efficient and effective solution for producing and editing high-quality videos by seamlessly inserting realistic objects. Through a user study, we demonstrate that our system can effortlessly place any object into any video using just a photograph of the object.
