BEAT: Rhythm-Elastic Alignment for Agentic Music-guided Movie Trailer Generation
Automatic movie trailer generation must select shots from a full-length film and synchronize them with background music. Existing methods either relegate music alignment to post-processing or enforce rigid one-to-one shot-music mappings, overlooking that professional editing rhythm is elastic: rapid cuts accompany high-energy passages while sustained shots span quieter bars. We introduce BEAT, a framework that addresses this gap with two core components: MuVA, a compact music-visual alignment encoder trained with Sinkhorn-regularized two-stage learning, and Bar-DP, an energy-adaptive dynamic programming algorithm that produces elastic many-to-one alignments following musical dynamics. The...
