  With recent advances in image and video diffusion models for content
creation, a plethora of techniques have been proposed for customizing their
generated content. In particular, manipulating the cross-attention layers of
Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models has shown great promise in controlling the
shape and location of objects in the scene. Transferring image-editing
techniques to the video domain, however, is extremely challenging as object
motion and temporal consistency are difficult to capture accurately. In this
work, we take a first look at the role of cross-attention in Text-to-Video
(T2V) diffusion models for zero-shot video editing. While one-shot models have
shown potential in controlling motion and camera movement, we demonstrate
zero-shot control over object shape, position and movement in T2V models. We
show that despite the limitations of current T2V models, cross-attention
guidance can be a promising approach for editing videos.
