MiniMax-Remover

MiniMax-Remover is a tool that can "erase" unwanted things from videos. For example, it can automatically remove accidental passers-by in your videos, clutter in the background, or watermarks and subtitles you want to get rid of—making the video look natural without any awkward gaps. **What can it be used for?** - **Video retouching magic**: Like photo editing, it processes videos to remove unwanted objects. Use it to erase unexpected people in travel videos or reflective items in conference videos. - **Content creation helper**: Instead of manual frame-by-frame editing, it processes videos in batches, saving tons of time for creators. - **Privacy protector**: Remove sensitive info like faces or license plates from videos to prevent privacy leaks. **Technical Framework**： A fast and efficient video object removal tool based on minimax optimization, structured in two stages: 1. **Stage 1**：Training a remover using a simplified DiT (Diffusion in Transformer) architecture. 2. **Stage 2**：Distilling a robust remover with CFG (Classifier-Free Guidance) removal and fewer inference steps. #### Core Functions and Features - **High Efficiency**：Requires only 6 inference steps without CFG, ensuring rapid processing. - **Superior Performance**：Seamlessly removes objects from videos and generates high-quality visual content with natural edge blending. - **Robustness**：Prevents the regeneration of undesired objects or artifacts in masked regions under varying noise conditions, ensuring stable outputs. #### Technical Advantages - **Two-stage Optimization**：Combines DiT architecture with CFG distillation to balance efficiency and performance. - **Lightweight Inference**：Reduces inference steps while maintaining high image quality, suitable for real-time or batch video processing. - **Wide Adaptability**：Supports object removal in various video scenarios, with strong adaptability to complex backgrounds and dynamic changes.
