VideoX-Qwen: Data-Centric Instruction-Based Video Editing

Abstract:Progress in general-purpose video editing depends on constructing large-scale paired supervision and effectively adapting video-generation backbones to instruction-driven editing. Unlike video generation, video editing must execute a requested transformation while preserving unrelated subjects, scene structure, motion, and temporal continuity. We present VideoX-Qwen, an integrated data-construction and model-training framework for general instruction-based video editing. Our scalable production pipeline organizes specialized generation and understanding models into complementary routes for addition, removal, replacement, and attribute editing, followed by quality screening and instruction enrichment. It produces more than 1.2 million directional video-editing records, including over 400,000 records in each major task group, with an automatic acceptance rate of 89%. The resulting corpus provides broad and structured coverage of common editing operations through a unified source-instruction-target interface. We further develop a unified Qwen-Wan editor that combines multimodal semantic conditioning with dense source-video latent guidance. A progressive image-video training strategy aligns the multimodal instruction interface, adapts the video generator to source-conditioned editing, and refines output quality with selected high-resolution data. In a 100-example comparison with UniVideo and Kling O1, VideoX-Qwen achieves the best mean result on nine of eleven reported metrics, including instruction following, editing quality, content preservation, structural and perceptual similarity, and video-distribution quality. Together, the large-scale data-production system and unified training framework provide a practical foundation for more capable instruction-driven video editing.
