EditEval: Towards Comprehensive and Automatic Evaluation for Text-guided Video Editing

摘要

Recently, video editing task has gained widespread attention due to its practical applications and rapid advancements. However, current automatic evaluation metrics for video editing are mostly poorly aligned with human judgments. Thus, researchers heavily rely on human evaluation, which is not only labor-intensive but also difficult to ensure consistency and objectivity. To address these issues, we propose EditEval, the largest-ever video editing benchmark to comprehensively evaluate the performance of video editing models in three aspects: Textual Faithfulness, Frame Consistency, and Video Fidelity. It includes 200 video clips and 1,010 text prompts, from which 160 instances are sampled to generate 1,280 edited videos using eight open-source video editing models, accompanied by human annotations. Furthermore, we propose EditScore, leveraging the advanced reasoning and comprehension capabilities of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) as evaluators to assess edited videos across the aforementioned aspects. Experiments show that the best-performing video editing model only reaches an average score of 3.16 (out of a perfect 5), highlighting the challenge of EditEval. Besides, results from more than 10 MLLMs demonstrate the great potential of utilizing EditScore for automatic evaluation. Notably, for textual faithfulness, EditScore equipped with LLaVA-OneVision-7B achieves a significantly higher Pearson Correlation score compared to previous methods based on CLIP (0.50 vs 0.22).
