DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some rather than all of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

The terms “first”, “second”, and the like in this specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish between similar objects instead of describing a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable in appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in other orders than the order illustrated or described herein. In addition, objects distinguished by “first” and “second” usually fall within one class, and a quantity of objects is not limited. For example, there may be one or more first objects. In addition, the term “and/or” in the specification and claims indicates at least one of connected objects, and the character “/” generally represents an “or” relationship between associated objects.

In the prior art, if a user triggers an electronic device to extract one video clip, the electronic device needs to use a large amount of storage space to store the extracted video clip. Therefore, a large amount of memory space of the electronic device is occupied, and a waste of resources is caused.

Based on the foregoing problem, embodiments of this application provide a video editing method. After a user triggers displaying of an identifier by performing an input on a video playback interface of a video, because the user can perform another input to trigger storage of the identifier indicating a video clip in the video, compared with an electronic device storing an extracted video clip in memory space, the embodiments of this application greatly save storage space.

The video editing method provided in the embodiments of this application is hereinafter described in detail by using embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of this application provides a video editing method. The method may include the following steps S101 to S104.

S101. A video editing apparatus receives a first input performed by a user to a video playback interface of a first video.

In some embodiments, the first video may be a video played online or a video stored in an electronic device.

In some embodiments, the first input may be a touch input, voice input, or gesture input performed by the user to the video playback interface. For example, the touch input is a tap input performed by the user to the video playback interface. The first input may also be any other possible input, which is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

S102. The video editing apparatus displays a first identifier in response to the first input.

The first identifier indicates a first video clip in the first video.

In some embodiments, the identifier in this application may be a text, a symbol, an image, or the like used to indicate information, and a control or another container may be used as a carrier for displaying information. The identifier includes but is not limited to a text identifier, a symbol identifier, or an image identifier.

S103. The video editing apparatus receives a second input performed by the user.

In some embodiments, the second input may be a touch input, voice input, or gesture input performed by the user. For example, the touch input is a double-tap input performed by the user to the first identifier. For another example, the touch input is a tap input performed by the user to a save control.

S104. The video editing apparatus stores the first identifier in response to the second input.

For example, before S101, the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application may further include: receiving a third input performed by the user to an identification control; and making the first video in an editable state in response to the third input.

It may be understood that, after triggering the first video to be in the editable state by performing an input on the identification control, the user may trigger the setting of the identifier based on an actual requirement.

For example, the video editing apparatus is a mobile phone. It is assumed that the mobile phone is playing a video 1. In a case that the mobile phone displays a video playback interface of the video 1, the user may tap an image frame of the video 1. After the mobile phone receives the tap input, an identifier 1 may be displayed in response to the tap input. Next, if the user wants to store the identifier, the user may tap a save control. When the mobile phone receives the tap input on the save control, the mobile phone may respond to the tap input and store the identifier 1.

In the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application, after the user triggers displaying of the identifier by performing the input on the video playback interface of the video, because the user can perform another input to trigger storage of the identifier indicating the video clip in the video, compared with an electronic device storing an extracted video clip in memory space, this embodiment of this application greatly saves storage space.

In some embodiments, the first input includes a first sub-input and a second sub-input; and correspondingly, S101 may be implemented by the following S101A, and S102 may include S102A and S102B.

S101A. The video editing apparatus receives the first sub-input performed by the user to a first image frame in the first video and the second sub-input performed by the user to a second image frame in the first video.

In some embodiments, in a case that the video playback interface of the first video includes a play progress bar, the first sub-input is an input of a first play node on the play progress bar, and the first play node corresponds to the first image frame; and the second sub-input is an input of a second play node on the play progress bar, and the second play node corresponds to the second image frame.

It should be noted that the first input includes the first sub-input and the second sub-input. For example, the first sub-input may be performed first, and then the second sub-input is performed; or the second sub-input may be performed first, and then the first sub-input is performed; or the first sub-input and the second sub-input may be performed simultaneously. This may be determined based on actual usage, and is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

S102A. The video editing apparatus displays a start marker point in response to the first sub-input.

In some embodiments, in a possible case, the first image frame corresponds to the start marker point; or in another possible case, the second image frame corresponds to the start marker point.

S102B. The video editing apparatus displays an end marker point and the first identifier in response to the second sub-input.

The first video clip is a video clip between the first image frame and the second image frame, and the first identifier is determined based on the start marker point and the end marker point.

In some embodiments, if the first image frame corresponds to the start marker point, the second image frame corresponds to the end marker point; or if the second image frame corresponds to the start marker point, the first image frame corresponds to the end marker point.

In an example 1, the video editing apparatus is a mobile phone. The mobile phone is playing a cartoon (that is, the first video). As shown in FIG. 2(a), the mobile phone displays an image frame 01 (that is, the first image frame) of the first video. In a case that the first video is in an editing state, the user may tap the image frame 01; and after the mobile phone receives the tap input, the mobile phone may display a start marker point 02. Then, as shown in FIG. 2(b), when the mobile phone plays an image frame 03 of the first video (that is, the second image frame), the user taps the image frame 03 again. After the mobile phone receives the tap input on the image frame 03, the mobile phone may display an end marker point 04 and an identifier a (that is, the first identifier) in response to the tap input.

In the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application, the user can trigger displaying of the start marker point and displaying of the end marker point and the first identifier by performing inputs on the first image frame and the second image frame. Therefore, the electronic device can store the first identifier in the storage space, thereby saving large memory space required for storing the extracted video clip.

For example, after S102B, the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application may further include the following S105 and S106.

S105. The video editing apparatus receives a fourth input performed by the user to a target marker point.

The target marker point includes at least one of the following: the start marker point and the end marker point.

In some embodiments, the fourth input may be a touch input, voice input, or gesture input performed by the user to the target marker point. For example, the touch input is a drag input performed by the user to the target marker point. The fourth input may also be any other possible input, which is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

S106. The video editing apparatus updates, in response to the fourth input, a location of the target marker point and the first video clip indicated by the first identifier.

It should be noted that after the fourth input on the target marker point is received, an image frame corresponding to the location-updated target marker point changes accordingly, and further, the image frame included in the first video clip indicated by the first identifier also changes.

In this embodiment of this application, the user can perform an input on the target marker point to trigger updating of the location of the target marker point and the first video clip indicated by the first identifier, so that the user can update, based on an actual requirement, the video clip indicated by the identifier. In addition, an operation of editing the video clip during video production process is simplified to an operation to the identifier.

For example, after S104, the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application may further include the following S107 and S108.

S107. The video editing apparatus receives a fifth input performed by the user to the first identifier.

In some embodiments, the fifth input may be a touch input, voice input, or gesture input performed by the user to the first identifier. For example, the touch input is a double-tap input performed by the user to the first identifier. The fifth input may also be any other possible input, which is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

S108. The video editing apparatus displays a first editing window of the first video clip in response to the fifth input.

The first editing window is used to update video parameter information of the first video clip.

In some embodiments, the first editing window may include at least one of the following controls: a filter control, a text control, and a background music control. The filter control is used to update filter information of the first video clip, the text control is used to update text information of the first video clip, and the background music control is used to update background music of the first video clip.

In some embodiments, the video parameter information may include at least one of the following: filter information, background music, text information, text displaying and disappearing animation effect information, and the like.

For example, it is assumed that the first editing window includes the filter control. When the user taps the filter control, popping of a filter selection list may be triggered, so that the user can select a filter parameter from the filter selection list. Therefore, the video editing apparatus can update filter information of the first identifier to filter information corresponding to the filter parameter.

It may be understood that the video editing apparatus may generate the first identifier based on the first image frame, the second image frame, and the video parameter information.

In an example 2, the video editing apparatus is a mobile phone. With reference to FIG. 2, the user taps an identifier a. After the mobile phone receives the tap input on the identifier a, the mobile phone displays an editing window in response to the input, as shown in FIG. 3, where the editing window includes a control 05, a control 06, and a control 07. Because the control 05 is used to update filter information of a video clip indicated by the identifier a, the user may tap the control 05; and after the mobile phone receives the tap input on the control 05, a filter of the first video clip is set in response to the tap input.

For example, after S108, the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application may further include: the video editing apparatus receives an input on the first identifier; and plays the first video clip with updated video parameter information in response to the input. In this way, an image effect of a video clip can be quickly changed according to wishes of the user.

It should be noted that in the process of playing the first video, if an operation is performed on the first identifier, the first video clip with the updated video parameter information is played; conversely, if no operation is performed on the first identifier, the first video clip with the original video parameter information is played.

In the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application, because the user can trigger the displaying of the first editing window by performing the input on the first identifier, the user can trigger updating of the video parameter information of the first video clip based on a requirement. In addition, the video editing operation during video production is simplified to the operation to the identifier.

In some embodiments, the foregoing S104 may be implemented by the following S104A.

S104A. The video editing apparatus stores, in an identification folder in an album, a first identification thumbnail corresponding to the first identifier.

For example, after the user triggers, with reference to S105 and S106 in the foregoing embodiment, generation of the first identifier indicating the video clip, an identification folder may be created in the album. It should be noted that the identification folder is used to store an identification thumbnail, and the identification thumbnail corresponds to a video clip in the video.

In some embodiments, the identification folder may further include a second identification thumbnail corresponding to a second identifier, and the second identifier is used to indicate a second video clip in the first video, where video image frames in the second video clip are different from video image frames in the first video clip, or video image frames in the second video clip are partially the same as video image frames in the first video clip.

It may be understood that after the first identifier is generated, the first identification thumbnail corresponding to the first identifier may be added to the identification folder of the album, so that occupancy of excessive memory space due to repeated storage of reusable video clips can be avoided.

For example, after S104A, the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application may further include the following S109 to S112.

S109. The video editing apparatus receives a sixth input performed by the user to the identification folder.

In some embodiments, the sixth input may be a touch input, voice input, or gesture input performed by the user to the identification folder. For example, the touch input is a tap input performed by the user to the identification folder. The sixth input may also be any other possible input, which is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

S110. The video editing apparatus displays P identification thumbnails and a video editing control in response to the sixth input.

The P identification thumbnails include the first identification thumbnail, and P is a positive integer.

In some embodiments, a shape of the video editing control may be circular, rectangular, or other possible shapes; a size of the video editing control may be a preset size; and the video editing control may be displayed in any blank area of a folder interface corresponding to the identification folder. A display form of the editing control is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

S111. The video editing apparatus receives a seventh input performed by the user to the video editing control.

In some embodiments, the seventh input may be a touch input, voice input, or gesture input performed by the user to the video editing control. For example, the touch input is a tap input performed by the user to the video editing control. The seventh input may also be any other possible input, which is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

S112. The video editing apparatus displays a video editing interface in response to the seventh input.

In this embodiment of this application, because displaying of the P identification thumbnails and the video editing control can be triggered by the input performed by the user to the identification folder, the user can view the identification thumbnails; and then, because displaying of the video editing interface can be triggered by performing another input on the video editing control, the user can conveniently trigger video splicing in the video editing interface.

For example, the video editing interface includes a first display area and a second display area, the first display area includes at least one video thumbnail, each video thumbnail corresponds to a video clip, and the second display area includes at least one identification thumbnail; and correspondingly, after S112, the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application may further include the following S113 to S115.

S113. The video editing apparatus receives an eighth input performed by the user to a target video thumbnail of the at least one video thumbnail, and receives a ninth input performed by the user to a target identification thumbnail of the at least one identification thumbnail.

In some embodiments, the eighth input may be a touch input, voice input, or gesture input performed by the user to the target video thumbnail. For example, the touch input is a tap input performed by the user to the target video thumbnail. The eighth input may also be any other possible input, which is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

In some embodiments, the ninth input may be a touch input, voice input, or gesture input performed by the user to the target identification thumbnail. For example, the touch input is a tap input performed by the user to the target identification thumbnail. The ninth input may also be any other possible input, which is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

In some embodiments, a quantity of the target video thumbnails and a quantity of target identification thumbnails are both at least one.

S114. The video editing apparatus displays the target video thumbnail and the target identification thumbnail in a third display area of the video editing interface in response to the eighth input and the ninth input.

An arrangement order of the target video thumbnail and the target identification thumbnail is in an association relationship with the eighth input and the ninth input.

In some embodiments, the arrangement order of the target video thumbnail and the target identification thumbnail is determined based on an input order of the eighth input and the ninth input.

For example, if the eighth input is performed first and then the ninth input is performed, the arrangement order of the target video thumbnail and the target identification thumbnail is: target video thumbnail, target identification thumbnail; or if the ninth input is performed first and then the eighth input is performed, the arrangement order of the target video thumbnail and the target identification thumbnail is: target identification thumbnail, target video thumbnail.

S115. The video editing apparatus generates a target video based on a third video clip corresponding to the target video thumbnail and a fourth video clip corresponding to the target identification thumbnail.

In some embodiments, S115 may include: the video editing apparatus splices a last frame in the third video clip with a first frame in the fourth video clip to obtain the target video.

For example, the video editing apparatus is a mobile phone. As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile phone displays a video editing interface, where a display area 08 of the video editing interface includes a video thumbnail 1, a video thumbnail 2, and a video thumbnail 3, and a display area 09 of the video editing interface includes an identification thumbnail a, an identification thumbnail b, and an identification thumbnail c. If the user wants to trigger the mobile phone to perform video splicing, the user may tap the video thumbnail 1, the identification thumbnail a, and the identification thumbnail c; and after the mobile phone receives the tap inputs on the three thumbnails (that is, the eighth input and the ninth input), the mobile phone may display the three thumbnails in a display area 10 in response to the tap inputs. Afterward, the mobile phone may generate the target video based on the three video clips.

Further, the video editing apparatus may splice the third video clip and the fourth video clip in a target order to obtain a target video.

The target order includes either of the following: a selection order of the third video clip and the fourth video clip, and an arrangement order of the third video clip and the fourth video clip.

For example, the target order is the selection order of the third video clip and the fourth video clip. As shown in FIG. 4, the target order is an order of tapping the identification thumbnail a, the video thumbnail 1, and the identification thumbnail c by the user, that is, the selection order of the three thumbnails.

For example, the target order is the arrangement order of the third video clip and the fourth video clip. As shown in FIG. 4, after the video thumbnail 1, the identification thumbnail a, and the identification thumbnail c are selected, the video thumbnail 1, the identification thumbnail a, and the identification thumbnail c may be displayed in the third display area 10 of the video editing interface, that is, the target order is the arrangement order of the three thumbnails in the third display area 10.

It may be understood that because the target video can be obtained by splicing N video clips in the target order, after the user adjusts the target order based on an actual requirement, different target videos can be obtained by splicing the N video clips in an adjusted target order. In this way, user experience is improved.

In the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application, because the at least one video thumbnail and at least one identification thumbnail are displayed in the video editing interface, when the user wants to trigger the electronic device to perform video splicing, as long as the user selects the target video thumbnail and the target identification thumbnail from the at least one video thumbnail and the at least one identification thumbnail based on a requirement, the electronic device can be triggered to obtain the target video based on at least two video clips, without requiring the user to frequently trigger interface switching of the electronic device to add a video to be spliced, thereby simplifying an operation process of video splicing by the electronic device.

For example, after S114, the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application may further include the following S116 and S117.

S116. The video editing apparatus receives a tenth input performed by the user to the third display area.

In some embodiments, the tenth input may be a touch input, voice input, or gesture input performed by the user to the third display area. For example, the touch input is a movement input performed by the user to the third display area.

S117. The video editing apparatus updates display information of the third display area in response to the tenth input.

The display information includes at least one of the following: a quantity of target video thumbnails, locations of target video thumbnails, a quantity of target identification thumbnails, and locations of target identification thumbnails.

In some embodiments, the display information may further include: an arrangement order of the target video thumbnail and the target identification thumbnail in the third display area.

In this embodiment of this application, because the user can trigger updating of the display information of the third display area by performing the input on the third display area, the user adjusts the video clips to be spliced to obtain a target video that meets a requirement of the user.

For example, after S104A, the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application may further include the following S118 and S119.

S118. The video editing apparatus receives an eleventh input performed by the user to the first identification thumbnail.

In some embodiments, the eleventh input may be a touch input, voice input, or gesture input performed by the user to the first identification thumbnail. For example, the touch input is a tap input performed by the user to the first identification thumbnail. The eleventh input may also be any other possible input, which is not limited in this embodiment of this application.

S119. The video editing apparatus displays a target interface in response to the eleventh input.

The target interface includes video parameter information of the first video clip.

In some embodiments, the target interface may further include at least one of the following: information about the original video of the first video clip corresponding to the first identification thumbnail, and timestamp information of the first video clip corresponding to the first identification thumbnail.

For example, the video editing apparatus is a mobile phone. If the user taps the identification thumbnail a, after the mobile phone receives the tap input, as shown in FIG. 5, the mobile phone may display video parameter information 11 of the first video clip corresponding to the identification thumbnail a. The video parameter information 11 includes information such as

“Original video: xxx.mp4, timestamp: 00:05 to 00:15, filter: black and white”.

In this embodiment of this application, by performing the input on the identification thumbnail, the user can trigger displaying of the video parameter information of the video clip corresponding to the identification thumbnail, so that the user can know the information such as the filter, text, and background music of the video clip.

For example, after S119, the video editing method provided in this embodiment of this application may further include the following S120 and S121.

S120. The video editing apparatus receives a twelfth input performed by the user.
