Original abstract

Recent advances in video diffusion models have greatly improved visual fidelity, yet their generated motions often violate physical plausibility. We observe a common kinematic failure, "motion entanglement", the unintended coupling of independent motion sources, such as camera movement and object motion. We identify that this issue stems from data bias and the reconstruction-based training design of diffusion models. Training on noisy videos that still retain coarse motion cues inadvertently encourages the model to replicate existing motion without an incentive to learn how to model kinematically-grounded motions. To address this, we propose a Self-Imagination Fine-Tuning (SIFT) paradigm, which enables the model to learn from its own generated videos rather than directly reconstructing real ones, breaking the reconstruction shortcut. We further employ motion-aware discriminative supervision and a progressive hard-case replay strategy to stabilize and accelerate learning. By leveraging freely-generated text prompts, our method can densely cover a broad motion space, including rare or finely-disentangled scenarios that would be costly to collect as video data. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach substantially improves the physical realism, motion disentanglement, and controllability of generated videos.
