Making Time Editable in Video Diffusion Transformers

Abstract: Modern Diffusion Transformers for video generation provide limited control over the progression of time and the editing of temporal dynamics. We propose a temporal-control methodology that extends a pretrained DiT with explicit time editing, allowing control over motion speed and temporal structure without redesigning the backbone. Its core implementation augments the pretrained model with a lightweight temporal module, preserving the original generative prior while expanding its controllable dynamic range.
