The evaluation of visual editing models remains fragmented across methods and modalities. Existing benchmarks are often tailored to specific paradigms, making fair cross-paradigm comparisons difficult, while video editing lacks reliable evaluation benchmarks. Furthermore, common automatic metrics often misalign with human preference, yet directly deploying large multimodal models (MLLMs) as evaluators incurs prohibitive computational and financial costs. We present UniEditBench, a unified benchmark for image and video editing that supports reconstruction-based and instruction-driven methods under a shared protocol. UniEditBench includes a structured taxonomy of nine image operations (Add, Remove, Replace, Change, Stroke-based, Extract, Adjust, Count, Reorder) and eight video operations, with coverage of challenging compositional tasks such as counting and spatial reordering. To enable scalable evaluation, we distill a high-capacity MLLM judge (Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B Instruct) into lightweight 4B/8B evaluators that provide multi-dimensional scoring over structural fidelity, text alignment, background consistency, naturalness, and temporal-spatial consistency (for videos). Experiments show that the distilled evaluators maintain strong agreement with human judgments and substantially reduce deployment cost relative to the teacher model. UniEditBench provides a practical and reproducible protocol for benchmarking modern visual editing methods.
