Recent approaches in controllable novel view video generation often rely on fine-tuning pre-trained Video Diffusion Models (VDMs). This dominant paradigm is computationally expensive and frequently suffers from catastrophic forgetting of the model's original generative priors. To address this challenge, here we propose InverseCrafter, a VDM training-free framework that reformulates novel view video generation as an inpainting-based inverse problem in the latent space, eliminating the need for any annotated 4D training data. The core of our method is to establish operator equivalence by employing a lightweight latent mask encoder to define a latent-domain masking operation via a continuous, multi-channel representation. This principled representation faithfully models the forward process in the latent domain, enabling efficient, backpropagation-free solvers while bypassing the costly bottleneck of repeated VAE operations. InverseCrafter achieves high-fidelity, spatio-temporally coherent novel view synthesis with near-zero additional inference overhead and excels at general-purpose video inpainting and editing by fully preserving the pre-trained VDM's generative capabilities.
