Congrats @yblin98 and #team on the @NeurIPSConf 2026 Accept!
SOTA synchronized video-to-music generation without using any paired video-music training data! 👏👏👏
🎵🎵What if we could generate video soundtracks without paired video–music data? Introducing V2M-Zero, a method that generates music synchronized with video events. arxiv.org/abs/2603.11042 w. @CasebeerJonah @mtlong_88 @aniruddha26398 @gberta227 @NicholasJBryan
Excited for "Beats" is released in @Adobe #PremiereMobile on iOS!
We detect musically meaningful markers within your music to sync, snap, and cut to your video. Three visualization options corresponding to less → more markers.
w/@JojoGiltsoff, Eric Brandt, @j_p_caceres ++!
Introducing #AIStudio via #AdobeStock — edit stock assets before licensing stock.adobe.com/ai-studio
AI Studio features #AudioMatch -- create custom soundtracks for video before licensing.
Proud of the #team 🥂👇 + Adobe Stock's new economic models to blend #GenAI w/licensing.
🎶 V2M-Zero: SOTA time-sync'd video-to-music! 🎶
* Music sync'd to dance, scene cuts,
* Easily adapt existing TTM models,
* No paired video-music data,
* SOTA objective + human preference.
Exceptional work @yblin98 + @casebeer! w/@mtlong_88 @aniruddha26398 @gberta227, me

Audio VAEs + VQ-VAEs designed for #GenAI!
* Ultra-fast encoding for on-the-fly training pipelines,
* ~2x more compression (13Hz) w/frontier quality,
* Any format (mono, stereo LR, MS, mel, raw),
* Cont. or discrete latents.

I've been playing with Generate Soundtrack a lot today. It is pretty great, and really fast.
I've been collecting a bunch of alternate music options from my videos.

Why no one is talking about the new Meta AI - Image and Video generation which is partnered with Midjourney and Black Forest Labs??
The generations are fascinating.

From a text prompt, it generates MIDIs you can edit directly in a DAW 🧵
Congrats @JCJesseLai and Team!
Tired to go back to the original papers again and again? Our monograph: a systematic and fundamental recipe you can rely on!
📘 We’re excited to release 《The Principles of Diffusion Models》— with @DrYangSong, @gimdong58085414, @mittu1204, and @StefanoErmon.
It traces the core ideas that shaped diffusion modeling and explains how today’s models work, why they work, and where they’re heading.
🧵You’ll find the link and a few highlights in the thread.
We’d love to hear your thoughts and join some discussions!
⚡ Stay tuned for our markdown version, where you can drop your comments!
