The invention discloses a video map making method, which sets a navigation bar picture in a video and sets an animation progress mark for displaying the current video playing progress in the video, so that, with the matching of the navigation bar picture and the animation progress mark, the finally played video not only can display original pictures, but also displays the video playing progress position and the content chapter structure at the same time; the technical scheme that a user drags an original navigation bar of a video player to achieve rapid chapter positioning is supported, and the problems that when an existing player or a webpage or an APP is used for achieving the functions of video navigation, timestamps, video sub-chapters and the like, the dimension is single, and precision is insufficient are solved. The dimensionality and stereoscopic impression of information acquisition by audiences are improved, and the overall impression is improved; the problem that when the audience obtains the progress, chapter and time information, the audience has to operate a mouse, a remote controller or an APP firstly, and troubles are caused is solved. The convenience feeling of audiences is improved; according to the technical scheme of the invention, a video producer does not need to worry about the problem that time and labor are wasted as timestamps need to be repeatedly created on different platforms when the works of the video producer are published to a plurality of internet platforms, so that the creation efficiency of the video author is greatly improved.
