The authors introduce FreeCHROMA, a parameter-efficient video diffusion model that composites a masked foreground into a new environment from one to three unaligned background images.

FreeCHROMA adapts a pretrained Wan-family video diffusion transformer using input-projection weights for foreground and mask conditioning, a background-reference convolution, and LoRA adapters.
