FacEDiT framework enables talking head video editing via facial motion infilling

Researchers have introduced FacEDiT, a novel framework for editing talking head videos by focusing on facial motion infilling. This approach treats video editing as a self-supervised task where masked facial motion is reconstructed from speech and surrounding context. FacEDiT is designed to handle local edits like insertions, deletions, and substitutions while preserving identity and ensuring smooth transitions. The accompanying FacEDiTBench benchmark provides a standardized evaluation for this task, and experiments demonstrate the model's effectiveness in producing accurate, speech-aligned edits. AI

IMPACT This research could enable more sophisticated and automated video editing tools for creating and manipulating talking head content.

    FacEDiT: Talking Head Video Editing via Facial Motion Infilling

    arXiv:2512.14056v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Editing a local segment of a talking head video without reshooting the scene remains challenging and underexplored. Local edits, such as insertion, deletion, or substitution, require synthesizing a replacement segment whil…
