Original abstract

Generative video compositing, which involves inserting external assets seamlessly into existing video sequences, is essential for content creation and visual effects. However, existing approaches suffer from a control-fidelity trade-off: they either hallucinate motion from static images, failing to preserve the dynamics of pre-animated assets, or lack fine-grained spatial control for precise asset placement along user-defined trajectories. We propose FlexComposer, a unified framework that standardizes video compositing as a trajectory-guided conditional generation task, enabling the seamless integration of both static images and dynamic footage. Our approach introduces three key designs: (1) a Unified Canonical Foreground Representation that decouples an object's intrinsic motion from its global displacement, standardizing heterogeneous inputs into a stabilized, centered latent space; (2) a Spatial-Aware Latent Injection strategy that exploits the translation equivariance of VAE latent spaces to transport canonical features onto target trajectories via a parameter-free mechanism; and (3) a Hybrid Dataset and Synthetic-to-Real Curriculum that synergizes procedural simulation, real-world cinematic footage, and generative data to implicitly learn physically plausible illumination and shadow harmonization. This unified design handles diverse inputs from product photos to dynamic subjects achieving high-fidelity motion control and environmental integration without the need for explicit 3D reconstruction or auxiliary learnable adapters. Extensive experiments demonstrate that FlexComposer outperforms state-of-the-art methods in visual quality, temporal consistency, and trajectory adherence.
