</div>

HunyuanVideo-Foley employs a sophisticated hybrid architecture:

—🔄 Multimodal Transformer Blocks: Process visual-audio streams simultaneously
—🎵 Unimodal Transformer Blocks: Focus on audio stream refinement
—👁️ Visual Encoding: Pre-trained encoder extracts visual features from video frames
—📝 Text Processing: Semantic features extracted via pre-trained text encoder
—🎧 Audio Encoding: Latent representations with Gaussian noise perturbation
—⏰ Temporal Alignment: Synchformer-based frame-level synchronization with gated modulation
