Highlights

Compared with existing video editing benchmarks, our proposed IVEBench offers the following key advantages:

(1) Comprehensive support for IVE methods: IVEBench is specifically designed to evaluate instruction-guided video editing (IVE) models while remaining compatible with traditional source-target prompt-based methods, ensuring broad applicability across editing paradigms;

(2) Diverse and semantically rich video corpus: The benchmark contains 600 high-quality source videos spanning seven semantic dimensions and thirty topics, with frame lengths ranging from 32 to 1,024, providing wide coverage of real-world scenarios;

(3) Comprehensive editing taxonomy: IVEBench includes eight major editing categories and thirty-five subcategories, encompassing diverse editing types such as style, attribute, subject motion, camera motion, and visual effect editing, to fully represent instruction-guided behaviors;

(4) Integration of MLLM-based and traditional metrics: The evaluation protocol combines conventional objective indicators with multimodal large language model (MLLM)-based assessments across three dimensions (video quality, instruction compliance, and video fidelity) for more human-aligned and holistic evaluation;

(5) Extensive benchmarking of state-of-the-art models: We conduct a thorough quantitative and qualitative evaluation of leading IVE models—including InsV2V, AnyV2V, StableV2V, as well as the multi-conditional video editing framework VACE, establishing a unified and fair standard for future research.
