{\Phi}-Noise: Training-Free Temporal Video Conditioning via Phase-Based Noise Manipulation

arXiv:2605.24509v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Latent video diffusion models generate videos by progressively transforming Gaussian noise into realistic samples conditioned on text or visual inputs. However, existing conditioning methods often require additional training and computational overhead. Motivated by recent findings on the importance of frequency components in generative models, we propose a simple, training-free approach for motion-conditioned video generation by injecting low-frequency phase information from a reference video directly into the diffusion noise latents. Our metho
