5.3 ABLATION STUDY

First, we ablate the use of TokenFlow, Sec. 4.2, for enforcing temporal consistency. In this experiment, we replace TokenFlow with extended attention (Eq. 3) and compute it between each frames of the edited video and the keyframes (w joint attention). Second, we ablate the randomizing of the keyframe selection at each generation step (w/o random keyframes). In this experiment, we use the same keyframe indices (evenly spaced in time) across the generation. Table 1 (bottom) shows the quantitative results of our ablations, the resulting videos can be found in the SM. As seen, TokenFlow ensures higher degree of temporal consistency, indicating that solely relying on the extension of self-attention to multiple frames is insufficient for achieving fine-grained temporal consistency. Additionally, fixing the keyframes creates an artificial partition of the video into short clips between the fixed keyframes, which reflects poorly on the consistency of the result.
