LIFT: Layout-In-Future Video Generation under Large Viewpoint Change via On-Policy Self-Distillation

We introduce LIFT, a unified image-to-video generation framework that complements camera control with Layout-In-FuTure control, enabling users to specify what should appear in a future view and where it should appear. This addresses a practical need in controllable video generation: given an initial image, users often care not only about how the camera moves, but also about what the scene should look like at key future moments, especially the final frame. Existing camera controls specify viewpoint trajectories, while text prompts provide only coarse semantic guidance; neither precisely determines the content and spatial layout of future views.
