An image editing model can directly edit video latents via two zero-training projection layers

The Qwen-Video-Edit project finds that video and image latent spaces are far less different than almost everyone assumes: an image editing model that has never seen a video can directly edit the latents of a video generation model through just two zero-training projection layers.\n\nThe difference isn't zero either — it hides in one specific place: temporal compression. The post walks through the chain of experiments used to measure this gap and the open-source project it produced.\n\nCode is open-sourced and integrated into DiffSynth-Studio, with ComfyUI nodes and a full install guide in the repo.
