Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to a determination."

[0031] First, the terms and concepts involved in one or more embodiments of this application will be explained.

[0032] Storyboards are visual sketches of software effects, used in video creation and advertising design to express the author's ideas.

[0033] This application provides a storyboard video editor. This application also relates to a video generation method and apparatus, a computing device, and a computer-readable storage medium, which will be described in detail in the following embodiments.

[0034] Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a storyboard video editor according to an embodiment of this application, specifically including a story attribute information module 102, which is associated with a story workspace module 104. The story workspace module 104 is associated with a story scene module 108, and the story scene module 108 is associated with a story shot module 110, which is associated with a story material module 112.

[0035] The story attribute information module 102 is configured to store the video attribute information of the video to be edited;

[0036] The story workspace module 104 is configured to store workspace attribute information and associate with at least one story scene;

[0037] The story scene module 108 is configured to store scene attribute information and associate it with at least one story shot;

[0038] The story shot module 110 is configured to store shot attribute information and associate it with at least one story material;

[0039] The story material module 112 is configured to store material attribute information and associate it with the video material library 114.

[0040] The Story Attribute Information Module 102 (KStory) is the largest data structure. A story in an interface corresponds to a KStory. Users can create multiple stories, and each story will eventually generate a complete, publishable video.

[0041] KStory stores video attribute information for videos to be edited, including the story identifier, story update version number, story synchronization version number, description information, story cover, story creation time, story update time, story workspace identifier, story trash can identifier, etc.

[0042] Among them, the story identifier is used to uniquely identify the story, the story update version number is used to determine the current story version number, the story synchronization version number is used to determine the version number of the synchronized story, the description information refers to the relevant description content of the story, the story cover refers to the display image of the story, the story creation time refers to the time when the story was generated, the story update time refers to the time when the story was last modified, the story workspace identifier is which KWorkspace the story corresponds to, and the story trash can identifier is which KGarbage the story corresponds to.

[0043] Optionally, the storyboard video editor further includes: a story trash can module 106, which is associated with the story attribute information module 102; wherein,

[0044] The story trash can module 106 is configured to store story discard information.

[0045] KStory's operation depends on the Story Workspace module 104 (KWorkspace) and the Story Garbage module 106 (KGarbage). That is, without KWorkspace and KGarbage, KStory cannot function properly. One KStory corresponds to one editable KWorkspace. KStory can know the information in KWorkspace, but KWorkspace cannot directly know the information in KStory.

[0046] Story Workspace Module 104 (KWorkspace) is the workspace for a story, storing workspace attribute information (such as workspace version number). A story's workspace contains at least one story scene. Typically, a story has multiple story scenes, and at least one story scene will be bound to Story Workspace Module 104.

[0047] The Story Trash Module 106 (KGarbage) is the story trash can, storing story discard information, that is, storing story content and related information deleted by the user.

[0048] In practical applications, the operation of the story workspace module 104 (KWorkspace) depends on the story scene module 108 (KScene) and the story shot module 110 (KShot). Each KWorkspace consists of multiple KScenes, that is, a KWorkspace includes one or more KScenes. The KWorkspace can know the information in the KScene, but the KScene cannot directly know the information in the KWorkspace.

[0049] The story scene module 108 (KScene) is the scene of the story. It stores scene attribute information and associates at least one story shot. The scene attribute information includes the scene index value, scene name, the list of shots corresponding to the scene, the update version number of the shot list, and the scene update version number. At least one story shot will be bound to the story scene module 108.

[0050] Specifically, the scene index value refers to the index information of the scene in the workspace, that is, which scene it is; the scene name is the description information of the scene; the shot list corresponding to the scene is the shot list of which shots are needed for the scene; the update version number of the shot list is the version number of each shot; and the scene update version number is the current version number of the scene.

[0051] The story scene module 108 (KScene) is associated with the story shot module 110 (KShot). The operation of KScene depends on KShot. Each KScene consists of multiple KShots, that is, there are one or more KShots in a KScene. KScene can know the information in KShot, but KShot cannot directly know the information of KScene.

[0052] Store shot attribute information in KShot and associate it with at least one story asset (Take). Shot attribute information includes shot index value, shot scene index value, shot identifier, shot scene identifier, shot name, shot description information, shot cover image, shot drawing, shot asset identifier, asset list, shot name update version number, shot description information update version number, shot cover update version number, shot asset identifier update version number, and asset list update version number.

[0053] Specifically, the shot index value is the shot's index information within the scene, indicating which shot it is within that scene; the shot scene index value is the identifier of the scene to which the shot belongs; the shot identifier is the specific identifier information for the shot; the shot scene identifier is the identifier corresponding to the shot and the scene; the shot name is the name of the shot; the shot description information is the textual description information for the shot; the shot cover image is the cover image of the shot; the shot drawing is the drawn image of the shot; the shot material identifier is the identifier of the video material currently used for the shot; the material list is the list of materials corresponding to the shot; the shot name update version number is the version number of the current name of the shot; the shot description information update version number is the version number of the current description information of the shot; the shot cover update version number is the version number of the current cover image of the shot; the shot material identifier update version number is the version number of the current video material of the shot; and the material list update version number is the version number of the current material list.

[0054] Story Shot Module 110 (KShot) is associated with Story Material Module 112 (KTake). The operation of KShot depends on KTake and Resource. Each KShot consists of multiple KTakes, that is, a KShot includes one or more KTakes. KShot can know the information in KTake, but KTake cannot directly know the information of KShot. In Story Shot Module 110, at least one story material will be bound.

[0055] The story material module 112 (KTake) includes the final product of the story shots. It is configured to store material attribute information and is associated with the video material library 114 (Resource). The material attribute information includes material identifier, material duration, material editing start point, material editing end point, material path update version number, material length update version number, material editing start point update version number, material editing end point update version number, and material type. In the story material module 112, it will be bound to the corresponding video material library 114.

[0056] Specifically, the material identifier refers to the identifier corresponding to the material used in this video clip; the material duration refers to the overall duration of the video clip; the material editing start point refers to the starting editing point of the material corresponding to this video clip; the material editing end point refers to the ending editing point of the material corresponding to this video clip; the material path update version number refers to the version number of the material path corresponding to this video clip; the material length update version number refers to the version number of the length of the material corresponding to this video clip; the material editing start point update version number refers to the version number of the starting point of the material editing corresponding to this video clip; the material editing end point update version number refers to the version number of the ending point of the material editing corresponding to this video clip; and the material type refers to the type information of the material corresponding to this video clip.

[0057] The story material module 112 (KTake) is associated with the video material library. There are multiple video material resources in the video material library, but KTake will only select one resource as the final resource for that KTake. The operation of KTake depends on the resource. Each KTake consists of one resource, that is, one KTake corresponds to only one resource. KTake can know the information in the resource, but the resource cannot directly know the information in KTake.

[0058] A Resource is the smallest structural unit in the storyboard video editor and does not depend on other structures to function.

[0059] Resources are stored in the video material library, which includes video materials, material identifiers, material types, updated version numbers of material identifiers, and updated version numbers of material types.

[0060] Among them, video materials can be locally uploaded materials or filmed materials; material identifier is the identification information of the material; material type is the type information of the material; material identifier update version number is the current version number of the material identifier; material type update version number is the current version number of the material type.

[0061] In practical applications, the storyboard video editor also includes a story bucket module 116, which is associated with the story workspace module 104 and the story trash can module 106; wherein,

[0062] The story bucket module 116 is configured to store discarded footage.

[0063] In practical applications, the story bucket module 116 is further configured to store the discarded footage that has been deleted in the story workspace module 104, and generate corresponding discarded video clips based on the discarded footage.

[0064] Story Bucket Module 116 (KBucket) stores the footage from the story. When data structures in KWorkspace are put into KGarbage, individual shots are generated and stored in KBucket.

[0065] In practical applications, the story trash can module is further configured to inherit the module characteristics of the story trash can module;

[0066] The story workspace module is further configured to inherit the module characteristics of the story bucket module.

[0067] Both KGarbage and KWorkspace inherit the modularity of KBucket. In other words, KGarbage and KBucket, and KWorkspace and KBucket, have a generalization relationship. Generalization is a type of inheritance relationship that represents a general-to-specific relationship. It specifies how a subclass specializes all the characteristics and behaviors of its parent class. Specifically, the generalization relationship between KWorkspace and KBucket means that KWorkspace has both the modularity of KBucket and its own unique characteristics.

[0068] Based on the storyboard video editor provided in this application, users can create multiple stories, each corresponding to a workspace. A workspace contains multiple scenes, each scene contains multiple shots, each shot has multiple takes, and each take corresponds to a resource. Users select a take for each shot to determine the corresponding scene video clips. By splicing and combining these scene video clips, the complete, publishable video content for the story can be obtained. The storyboard video editor provided in this application, through the script definition of storyboards, breaks down a video structure unit into smaller structural units such as scenes, shots, takes, and resources. This allows users to edit various materials flexibly without being limited by scenes, increasing the freedom of video creation and editing and improving the user experience.

[0069] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 The flowchart shown is a video generation method according to an embodiment of this application. The video generation method is applied to the storyboard video editor provided in the above embodiment and specifically includes the following steps:

[0070] Step 202: Create at least one scene, and create at least one corresponding shot for each scene.

[0071] A scene is a framework created based on the user's video creation needs to distinguish the categories of shots. A scene can contain multiple shots. A shot is a shot created in a scene based on the user's video creation needs. It is used to shoot video footage based on each shot. A shot can contain multiple video clips.

[0072] In one specific embodiment of this application, taking the creation of a scene "square" as an example, the video editor receives a scene creation instruction and creates the scene "square"; it also receives a creation instruction to create a storyboard in the scene "square" and creates the storyboard "high-rise exterior view" and the storyboard "running" in the scene "square".

[0073] Step 204: Add at least one video clip to the video clip library corresponding to each shot.

[0074] A video material library is a database used to store one or more video materials uploaded by video creators to the storyboard. Video materials refer to the materials uploaded by video creators to the storyboard. Among them, video materials contain the original information, editing information, and special effects information of the video segments.

[0075] In one specific embodiment of this application, taking the storyboard "exterior view of a high-rise building" as an example, a video material addition instruction is received, the storyboard "exterior view of a high-rise building" is determined according to the video material addition instruction, and the video material s1 carried in the video material addition instruction is added to the storyboard video library corresponding to the storyboard "exterior view of a high-rise building".

[0076] Step 206: Determine the target video material corresponding to each shot from the video material library corresponding to each shot.

[0077] Target video footage refers to the video footage selected by the user from the video footage library corresponding to each shot. Users can identify video footage that matches their concept from the video footage library corresponding to each shot as target video footage. The target video footage for each shot can be used to subsequently synthesize a complete video.

[0078] In one specific embodiment of this application, taking the storyboard "dancing" as an example, a target video material selection instruction is received, the storyboard "dancing" and the corresponding storyboard video library are determined, and the target video material is obtained from the video material library corresponding to the storyboard "dancing" based on the target video material selection instruction.

[0079] Step 208: Synthesize scene video clips corresponding to each scene based on the target video material corresponding to each shot, and synthesize the target video based on the scene video clips corresponding to each scene.

[0080] Scene video clips refer to video segments synthesized from each shot within a scene; that is, video clips synthesized from the target video footage of each shot within a scene. Target video refers to the video synthesized from scene video clips for each scene.

[0081] In one specific embodiment of this application, taking the scene "on the road" as an example, a scene video clip synthesis instruction is received, and the corresponding shots "square" and "running" for the target scene "on the road" are determined. The scene video clip synthesis instruction carries processing information for the target scene "on the road," including "subtitle transition" and "freeze-motion transition." The target scene video clips are synthesized based on the processing information "subtitle transition," "freeze-motion transition," and the shots "square" and "running." Then, the scene video clips corresponding to each scene are synthesized to generate the final target video.

[0082] The video generation method of this application, applied to the aforementioned storyboard video editor, firstly creates a corresponding Story in the Story Attribute Information module, storing the Story's attribute information in this module. Simultaneously, it creates the corresponding workspace attribute information for the Story in the Story Workspace module. At least one scene is created in the Story Scene module, and each scene is bound to the Story Workspace module, meaning the created scenes can be seen in the Story Workspace. After creating the scenes, at least one corresponding shot can be created in each scene through the Story Shots module, and each shot is bound to the corresponding story scene, meaning the corresponding shot can be seen in each scene. Then, the Story Material module is associated with the corresponding video material library, selecting corresponding video materials from the library as the target video materials for the corresponding shots. After determining the target video materials for each shot, the target video materials for each shot are combined into a scene video clip corresponding to each scene. The target video is then synthesized based on the scene video clips corresponding to each scene. This application allows users to plan the scenes and shots needed based on the story theme, and then shoot and edit videos based on the created scenes and shots. That is, creating a storyboard in the video editor while simultaneously shooting videos based on the storyboard provides users with a more convenient end-to-end video production method.

[0083] Corresponding to the above-described video generation method embodiments, this application also provides video generation apparatus embodiments. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a video generation apparatus according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the video generation device is applied to the storyboard video editor provided in the above embodiment, and the device includes:

[0084] Module 302 is configured to create at least one scene and create at least one corresponding shot for each scene.

[0085] Add module 304, which is configured to add at least one video clip to the video clip library corresponding to each shot;

[0086] Module 306 determines the target video material corresponding to each shot from the video material library corresponding to each shot.

[0087] The compositing module 308 is configured to compose scene video clips corresponding to each scene based on the target video material corresponding to each shot, and to compose target video based on the scene video clips corresponding to each scene.

[0088] The video generation apparatus of this application, applied to the aforementioned storyboard video editor, first creates a corresponding Story in the Story Attribute Information module, storing the Story's attribute information in the same module. Simultaneously, it creates the corresponding workspace attribute information for the Story in the Story Workspace module. At least one scene is created in the Story Scene module, and each scene is bound to the Story Workspace module, meaning the created scenes are visible in the Story Workspace. After creating the scenes, at least one corresponding shot can be created in each scene through the Story Shot Module, and each shot is bound to the corresponding story scene, meaning the corresponding shot is visible in each scene. Then, the Story Material Module is associated with the corresponding video material library, selecting corresponding video materials as the target video materials for the corresponding shot. After determining the target video materials for each shot, the target video materials for each shot are combined into a scene video clip corresponding to each scene. The target video is then synthesized based on the scene video clips corresponding to each scene. This application allows users to plan the required scenes and shots based on the story theme, and then shoot and edit videos based on the created scenes and shots. That is, creating a storyboard in the video editor while simultaneously shooting videos based on the storyboard provides users with a more convenient end-to-end video production method.
