Recent advances in diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in restoring high-quality images in a zero-shot manner. Unfortunately, extending this success to video restoration is challenging due to the substantial computational resources required to pre-train video diffusion models. A rising trend seeks to address video restoration by utilizing a pre-trained image diffusion model, initiating restoration from either frame-wise independent or identical Gaussian noise. Yet, these approaches often fall short, as such simple noise initiations fail to capture and utilize the inherent temporal correlations within degraded video frames. In this work, we propose taming noise initialization for zero-shot video restoration, which preserves the intrinsic temporal correlations by generating initial noises directly using DDIM inversion on the corrupted video frames themselves. Building on this, we introduce an adaptive noise blending strategy that suppresses degradation patterns encoded during DDIM inversion while gradually steering the noise toward a Gaussian distribution. To further emphasize temporal consistency, we propose measurement-guided trajectory attention to better align features across frames. Extensive experiments on multiple video restoration tasks demonstrate that our method outperforms existing zero-shot approaches, consistently achieving superior results on the DAVIS, REDS4, and Set8 datasets.
