Overview
- LongCon introduces long context tuning for extended video generation
- Synthesizes videos of 5-20 seconds versus standard 3-4 second videos
- Uses sliding window approach similar to language model techniques
- Introduces Video Window Token method for temporal consistency
- Achieves 2x longer videos with better quality than autoregressive methods
- Works with any single-shot video diffusion model
- Requires only 1-2 days of lightweight fine-tuning
Plain English Explanation
Video generation models today have a frustrating limitation: they can only create short clips of about 3-4 seconds. This happens because these AI systems have a fixed "attention span" - they can only process a certain number of video frames at once.
The researchers behind this...
