MotionV2V: Editing Motion in a Video
ABSTRACT
We propose a first truly non-local video editor. Unlike other video editing methods, which either avoid making large spatial changes or do so by corrupting video content, our method can manipulate video content in both space and time. MotionV2V can control where objects appear, how fast they move and in which direction, when they appear, and even the camera position. All of these edits are done with a simple interface: a point-based control mechanism, allowing these edits to be made with simple point trajectory modifications (no rotoscoping or masks!). Please read our paper and see our videos to learn more!

Demonstrations of V2V Motion Edits made possible with our algorithm
Each video below shows a side-by-side comparison of four different methods for motion editing. All methods receive the same input video and desired motion trajectories. The videos are displayed in a consistent order from left to right.
