EgoPlay introduces a unified model that jointly handles event detection and video editing, eliminating the need for separate cascaded modules in egocentric stream processing. By leveraging large-scale event-conditioned data from Ego4D, it achieves significant gains in visual quality while maintaining pre-event frame preservation with reduced GPU memory usage. This advancement represents a meaningful step forward in efficient, instruction-based manipulation of first-person video content through advanced diffusion transformers.
EgoPlay: Event-Triggered Video Editing for Egocentric Streams
arXiv:2607.24560v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce EgoPlay, an event-triggered video-to-video editor for egocentric streams, obtained by fine-tuning a pretrained V2V diffusion transformer on event-conditioned data built primarily from Ego4D. Given a monocular video and an event-triggered prompt of the form "when X happens, do Y," EgoPlay infers whether and when event X occurs, preserves pre-event frames, and applies edit Y only to the post-event continuation. Rather than cascading a separate event detector with an editor, EgoPlay learns event recognition, temporal restraint, and pixel-level editing jointly in a single end-to-end model, while also handling negative and multi-event prompts. To support this, we construct a large-scale dataset of 106K event-triggered clip-prompt pairs spanning positive triggers, fabricated-trigger negatives, and multi-event prompts. We then train a bidirectional video diffusion editor with event-triggered supervision and derive a causal variant for chunk-by-chunk streamable inference. We further introduce an event-aware evaluation protocol that separately measures post-trigger editing quality, pre-trigger preservation, and false-trigger robustness. On the Ego4D benchmark, EgoPlay substantially outperforms EgoEdit, the state-of-the-art instruction-based egocentric video editing baseline, with relative gains of 17.7%, 16.9%, and 16.4% in editing quality, visual quality, and background consistency. It also surpasses a VLM-guided detector-editor baseline by 15.7%, 14.5%, and 13.5% on the same metrics, while using less than half the GPU memory.
