  Diffusion models have achieved significant success in image and video
generation. This motivates a growing interest in video editing tasks, where
videos are edited according to provided text descriptions. However, most
existing approaches only focus on video editing for short clips and rely on
time-consuming tuning or inference. We are the first to propose Video
Instruction Diffusion (VIDiff), a unified foundation model designed for a wide
range of video tasks. These tasks encompass both understanding tasks (such as
language-guided video object segmentation) and generative tasks (video editing
and enhancement). Our model can edit and translate the desired results within
seconds based on user instructions. Moreover, we design an iterative
auto-regressive method to ensure consistency in editing and enhancing long
videos. We provide convincing generative results for diverse input videos and
written instructions, both qualitatively and quantitatively. More examples can
be found at our website https://ChenHsing.github.io/VIDiff.
