Paper: MoviEdit: Long-form Multi-Shot Video Editing Made Easy

Long-form multi-shot video editing requires an intended edit to remain coherent across abrupt changes in scene, viewpoint, and subject appearance, while processing substantially longer visual context than conventional single-shot editors. We introduce MoviEdit, an end-to-end framework for scalable long-form multi-shot video editing that jointly addresses the challenges of data, modeling, and evaluation. To provide cross-shot supervision data at scale, we develop automatic data-generation pipelines spanning synchronized multi-view footage, real-world multi-shot videos, and generated multi-shot content, yielding 87K paired editing videos without manual annotation. Architecturally, MoviEdit employs a cascaded bidirectional-autoregressive design: a lightweight bidirectional stage first establishes a globally coherent editing draft over a spatiotemporally compressed representation, which is then autoregressively propagated and refined over the full video. We further introduce MoviEdit-Bench, a dedicated benchmark for systematic evaluation of long-form multi-shot video editing. Extensive experiments show that MoviEdit substantially outperforms existing open-source models and performs on par with industry frontier models across text-guided and image-guided editing.
