TL;DR: A layered diffusion framework for video editing. Vera jointly generates an edit layer, an alpha matte, and a composite video, separating what to generate from what to preserve.

Disclaimer:This is a research prototype, not an official product.

**Note:** The current Vera models are trained on 49-frame sequences.
