Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.
- Why does running an image model separately on each frame of a video tend to produce flicker?
- The video's frame rate is too low for the model
- Each frame starts from its own random noise and makes independent detail choices
- Image models cannot process color information
- The model removes motion blur from every frame
- What is the main reason modern video generators are steadier than frame-by-frame image pipelines?
- They generate frames jointly and use attention across time
- They only generate black-and-white footage
- They render at lower resolution
- They always apply a deflicker filter afterward
- Which kind of content is typically hardest to keep stable from frame to frame?
- Large flat walls
- A plain sky with no clouds
- Fine high-frequency detail such as hair, foliage and text
- A static solid-color background
- What can a deflicker filter in post-production realistically fix?
- A character's face gradually changing shape
- An object that disappears behind a tree and returns different
- Brightness pulsing between frames
- A shirt that changes from three buttons to four
- Why can identity drift over long videos made by extending shorter clips?
- The model sees only a limited window of recent frames
- Longer videos always use a lower frame rate
- Extensions switch the video to a different color space
- Audio tracks interfere with the image model
- What is a known weakness of factorized attention (spatial attention plus temporal attention at the same location)?
- It cannot produce color
- It is far more expensive than full 3D attention
- It struggles with large motion because a given position holds different content across frames
- It prevents the model from using text prompts
- In training-free editing pipelines, what does flow-guided latent warping do?
- Deletes frames that differ too much from the first
- Moves the previous frame's latent along optical flow before denoising the next frame
- Increases the random noise in each frame
- Converts the video to a lower resolution
- Which statement about flicker is a misconception according to the guide?
- Occlusion can cause objects to come back looking different
- Raising resolution will fix flicker on its own
- Reference-image conditioning can help keep identity stable
- Autoencoder compression can add artifacts where chunks join
