Researchers have introduced Sparkle, a new dataset and benchmark designed to improve instruction-guided video background replacement. The dataset contains approximately 140,000 video pairs across five themes, addressing the scarcity of high-quality training data that has hindered previous models like Kiwi-Edit. Sparkle utilizes a novel pipeline for decoupled foreground and background guidance synthesis, leading to more natural and temporally consistent scene changes. Experiments show that models trained on Sparkle outperform existing baselines on both the new Sparkle-Bench and the OpenVE-Bench. AI
