ASTRA: Let Arbitrary Subjects Transform in Video Editing

arXiv:2510.01186v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While existing video editing methods excel with single subjects, they struggle in dense, multi-subject scenes, frequently suffering from attention dilution and mask boundary entanglement that cause attribute leakage and temporal instability. To address this, we propose ASTRA, a training-free framework for seamless, arbitrary-subject video editing. Without requiring model fine-tuning, ASTRA precisely manipulates multiple designated subjects while strictly preserving non-target regions. It achieves this via two core components: a prompt-guided multimodal alignment module that generates robust conditions to mitigate attention dilution, and a prior-based mask retargeting module that produces temporally coherent mask sequences to resolve boundary entanglement. Functioning as a versatile plug-and-play module, ASTRA seamlessly integrates with diverse mask-driven video generators. Extensive experiments on our newly constructed benchmark, MSVBench, demonstrate that ASTRA consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
